TransLucency | Turns Windows Explorer and Taskbar to a custom set

You're barking up the wrong tree completely. Leave isTranslucent alone! Do not set any navigation bar properties directly! Use UINavigationBarAppearance to perform your configuration. For example:

Afaik, there's no easy solution to what you want to do. However, there are some things that you can do:

• Don't sort triangles at all, and only sort individual draw calls. This is the easiest solution and is utilised by most games, if they use translucent/transparent objects in the first place. Of course, this might not have the best looks (though it works well with convex shapes), but it will have very good performance.
• Order-independet transparency: There are some pixel shader based techniques for rendering transparent/translucent objects without having to sort anything at all. These techniques usually are approximations (there are also some non-approximate algorithms) and tend work the best for things like smoke (where small errors aren't as noticable), or when not many transparent/translucent triangles overlap each other anyway.
• Compute Shaders: You can use a compute shader to transform your individual vertices according to your animation, and then use another compute shader to sort the triangles on the GPU. That is probably the most straight-forward improvement of what you'd otherwise do on the CPU, and there are many examples for sorting stuff on the GPU out there. But, if you've never worked with compute shaders before, it might be a bit hard to wrap your head around their strengths and limitations at first.
• Ray Tracing: This would probably be the most complex way to solve that problem, since you'll need specific hardware, generate corresponding data structures and a few new shaders, and on top of that, even with modern hardware, ray tracing is quite costly (though probably still faster than sorting triangles on the CPU each frame). But it also doesn't need your triangles to be sorted and will actually work perfectly well even if different translucent objects are intersecting/interleaving each other.

BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray doesn't accept unsupported formats, so, ensure that the rgbImage byte data is one of the supported image formats. Follow the link to see which ones:

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/media-formats#image-formats

In addition, althouh not the cause of the failure, outWidth / outHeight are not meant to be populated by you, instead these are populated by BitmapFactory when inJustDecodeBounds is set to True in order to find out an image dimensions without decoding it. Setting them does nothing at all, as these are output parameters. Also note that when setting inJustDecodeBounds to True, the return value will be always Null, as the request becomes for the image dimensions and not the image itself.

Also note that for the length argument in decodeByteArray, you can pass rgbImage.length instead of 1920 * 1080 * 4, if such buffer has the same length.

I observe SFSafariViewController properly respecting the light and dark variants of the UIColor set as preferredBarTintColor. Your definition of teal025 in the UIColor extension defines a single color variant (0x008080) and does not have a separate dark mode color.

To resolve define your teal025 in a Color asset catalog and load the value using:

preferredBarTintColor = UIColor.init(named:"teal025")

Make sure to define both dark and light variants in the color asset by selecting "Any,Dark" for the setting Appearance, then set appropriate colors for each.

Or, use the dynamicProvider initializer of UIColor to return dark and light mode variants at run time, something like this:

No, when it talks about parents, it is not talking about class hierarchy. It's talking about the Group Actor instance that contains this Actor. Group is a subclass of Actor that can have Actor children. If you add an Actor directly to a Stage, its parent is the root Group, which sits at (0, 0), so your Actor's position is relative to the world.

But you can add an Actor to a Group, and then its position is relative to its parent's position. And the alphaParent parameter is the transparency level of the parent.

In the draw() method, you must always set the color of the Batch before you draw, because there is no guarantee of what color it is currently set at. And you should apply the Actor's parent alpha if you want the children of a Group to properly fade in and out along with the parent.

A typical draw method looks like this:

You cannot have both, Blending and the benefits of the Depth Test. You have to do draw the scene in 2 passes. First draw the opaque objects with depth test on and blending off, then draw the transparent objects with depth test on but no writing to the depth buffer, and blending on, in sorted order from the back to the front. See Transparency Sorting.

1. enable depth test and disable blending

You need to pass the TranslucentJframe into the SetFrame listener.

Change button.addActionListener(new SetFrame());

To this button.addActionListener(new SetFrame(this));

Then define the field in SetFrame:
