LED widget lvgl 8.2.0 and greater

I had trouble upgrading to LVGL 8.2.0 because the LED widget stopped coloring correctly when LV_DRAW_COMPLEX 0 is set. I think it is because the bg_color property was not getting set on the obj draw descriptor. I was able to “fix” this by overriding the LV_EVENT_DRAW_MAIN event:

void lv_led_draw_simple_event(lv_event_t *e)
{
    lv_event_code_t code = lv_event_get_code(e);
    lv_obj_t * obj = lv_event_get_target(e);
    if(code == LV_EVENT_DRAW_MAIN) {
        /*Make darker colors in a temporary style according to the brightness*/
        lv_led_t * led = (lv_led_t *)obj;

        lv_draw_rect_dsc_t rect_dsc;
        lv_draw_rect_dsc_init(&rect_dsc);
        lv_obj_init_draw_rect_dsc(obj, LV_PART_MAIN, &rect_dsc);

        /*Use the original colors brightness to modify color->led*/
        rect_dsc.bg_color = lv_color_mix(led->color, lv_color_black(), lv_color_brightness(rect_dsc.bg_color));
        rect_dsc.bg_grad.stops[0].color = lv_color_mix(led->color, lv_color_black(),
                                                       lv_color_brightness(rect_dsc.bg_grad.stops[0].color));
        rect_dsc.bg_grad.stops[1].color = lv_color_mix(led->color, lv_color_black(),
                                                       lv_color_brightness(rect_dsc.bg_grad.stops[1].color));
        rect_dsc.shadow_color = lv_color_mix(led->color, lv_color_black(), lv_color_brightness(rect_dsc.shadow_color));
        rect_dsc.border_color = lv_color_mix(led->color, lv_color_black(), lv_color_brightness(rect_dsc.border_color));
        rect_dsc.outline_color = lv_color_mix(led->color, lv_color_black(), lv_color_brightness(rect_dsc.outline_color));

        /*Mix. the color with black proportionally with brightness*/
        rect_dsc.bg_color   = lv_color_mix(rect_dsc.bg_color, lv_color_black(), led->bright);
        rect_dsc.bg_grad.stops[0].color   = lv_color_mix(rect_dsc.bg_grad.stops[0].color, lv_color_black(), led->bright);
        rect_dsc.bg_grad.stops[1].color   = lv_color_mix(rect_dsc.bg_grad.stops[1].color, lv_color_black(), led->bright);
        rect_dsc.border_color = lv_color_mix(rect_dsc.border_color, lv_color_black(), led->bright);
        rect_dsc.shadow_color = lv_color_mix(rect_dsc.shadow_color, lv_color_black(), led->bright);
        rect_dsc.outline_color = lv_color_mix(rect_dsc.outline_color, lv_color_black(), led->bright);

        /*Set the current shadow width according to brightness proportionally between LV_LED_BRIGHT_OFF
         * and LV_LED_BRIGHT_ON*/
        rect_dsc.shadow_width = ((led->bright - LV_LED_BRIGHT_MIN) * rect_dsc.shadow_width) /
                                (LV_LED_BRIGHT_MAX - LV_LED_BRIGHT_MIN);
        rect_dsc.shadow_spread = ((led->bright - LV_LED_BRIGHT_MIN) * rect_dsc.shadow_spread) /
                                 (LV_LED_BRIGHT_MAX - LV_LED_BRIGHT_MIN);

        lv_draw_ctx_t * draw_ctx = lv_event_get_draw_ctx(e);

        lv_obj_draw_part_dsc_t  part_draw_dsc;
        lv_obj_draw_dsc_init(&part_draw_dsc, draw_ctx);
        part_draw_dsc.draw_area = &obj->coords;
        part_draw_dsc.class_p = &lv_led_class;
        part_draw_dsc.type = LV_LED_DRAW_PART_RECTANGLE;
        part_draw_dsc.rect_dsc = &rect_dsc;
        part_draw_dsc.part = LV_PART_MAIN;

        lv_event_send(obj, LV_EVENT_DRAW_PART_BEGIN, &part_draw_dsc);
        lv_draw_rect(draw_ctx, &rect_dsc, &obj->coords);
        lv_event_send(obj, LV_EVENT_DRAW_PART_END, &part_draw_dsc);
    }
}

Missing line of code in 8.2.0 + is rect_dsc.bg_color = lv_color_mix(rect_dsc.bg_color, lv_color_black(), led->bright);

Was this change intentional? and if not can we add the bg_color setter back to the led draw event in a future release?

Thanks!

LV_DRAW_COMPLEX disables shadows and radius, but I see no problem we keeping the background coloring.

Please send a Pull request with the fix.

Thank you!

It’s unrelated. We are already working on v9 in the master branch and after some larges changes not all CI-s are fixed yet.
