Color up update
Author: Cynob,

Hello,
This is my first update for StreamAnimations since its release and many changes and improvements have been made.
Among other things, the following bugs have been fixed:
If you run an animation in multiple scenes it will run faster.
Settings are now always saved when leaving the menu
and many other small things that I don't even want to list here.
What's new in terms of functions?
[h3]There is a new section: Overlays![/h3]

There is a single new colorful menu item.
If you call this up, you get to the new “Colorfull” settings menu.

[*] You can select the desired pattern: horizontal/vertical lines, circular and square.
[*] By changing the direction of movement, you can determine whether the colors run towards or away from the center, e.g. in the case of the circular shape.
[*] There are many other settings such as blur or the brightness of the color gradient.
[*] You can set the step width - whether absolutely soft color transitions or tight ones, you can always see the result live in the preview window.
[*] What if you don't like all the colors? You can of course also simply limit the color space in which the color gradient moves.
[*] You can use the format templates to create a large color gradient in the desired image format. You can choose between 16:9 in portrait and landscape format as well as a square area.

As I also know that floating surfaces can be a bit boring, there is also the [b]“cutout”[/b] tool.
You can access this via the button with the scissors symbol.
There are some ready-made patterns to choose from.

[b]But you can also create your own![/b]
The principle is very simple!
Use a drawing program of your choice and create a new image with a black background.
Draw the desired contours or patterns in white.
Then save the whole thing as a jpeg file and load it into StreamAnimations.

As a result, you will only see the previously white-painted areas as an animation.
You can create such an image with the integrated drawing program
or load a ready-made jpeg file.

Once you have your desired color gradient and contour, you can display the result in the streaming software like all other StreamAnimations.
I hope you have a colorfull day and much fun with StreamAnimations!
