Nice Mardar !
Just few little things : it was not necessary to get 2 polygons and two offsets. You will see in this version of your filter that I have eliminated what I'm talking about and this is not affect your filter. Second thing, it woudl be good for users to have the choice to place the star where they need or want. So in this new version, I have added 2 controls with your offset for this possible action. But this stills your filter and you do what you want. It was just a suggestion for a better use. Star Frame v1.ffxml visit https://gisoft.ca |

Thank you Ghislaine.
The second polygons is actually a drop shadow behind the star. I'm not sure if this really matters or not, but I sort of liked the look of the star sitting slightly above the frame. It does however look good both ways. 
I do like your idea about the movable star. I never thought to do that. I will work on this and resubmit it soon for that. Great suggestion. And thanks for the altered filter you posted. I usually need visual more than directions. I'm a bit slow in the uptake. LOL  |

I haven't had a look at the filter yet, But you don't need 2 poligons for a shape and it's shadow.
You can use the same component with 2 offsets, one is the shape, one is the shadow. |

Mardar, here a second version of your filter, with both possibility : hide the shadow or not. I have also created 5 presets with the new components. If you want darker or lighter shadow, just change the number of threshold component at threshold and if you want users to fix this shadow themselves, just add a control to this threshold. I have also fixed the blend mode to soft light for keeping the blue star color as is. Hoping this will help.

Ghislaine, I added the updates as you suggested, plus I added the ability to change the star shape. After I uploaded it last night, I realized I forgot to include the threshold for the star shadow. So I uploaded that correction today. It should show up tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your help on this. You are such a good friend to help me. |
