Use colors to fade-in progress bar characters

Hi, I've just recently implemented color scheme support in Yaap...

So right now, it is possible to specify which color the progress bar should be displayed.

This can be thought of as a precursory support for using colors to fade in the progress bar.

Can you describe what sort of fade "effect" you were thinking about?

It's not clear to me if you want (1) the entire progress bar to increasingly use brighter colors as the progress, well.. progresses... Or do you want (2) the left side (e.g. 0%) to be drawn using darker color of the selected progress bar color and the right side of the progress bar (e.g. 100%) to be drawn with brighter colors.

If it's indeed (2) you are interested in, please let me know, in that case I will change the title of the issue to reflect what you are actually asking for which is "gradient support"...

Awaiting further input...

I was imagining each character to slowly fade-in as progress is made, until it is the brightest possible and then you start doing the next character - as the issue title specifies. I actually consider "fade-in" to be a more precise description for the feature than "gradient", as "fade-in" conveys the color changes happen over time, whereas "gradient" is frequently used for colors which are present at the same time on a screen or paper.

OK, Thanks for the clarification.

I'll skip this for the initial Yaap release, but would be definitely interested in seeing if this is voted on once the project actually (if at all?) gains traction.

Thanks for the idea, I've just added a symbolic vote for it :)

If it goes above 10 I'll probably start doing more fancy stuff around coloring...
