## Corner Scaling
By default, 9-slice corners and non-stretched edges are rendered at their original pixel size (1:1). For pixel-art themes or when you want corners to scale with the window, you can enable corner scaling:
### Enabling Corner Scaling
```lua
-- themes/my_theme.lua
return {
name = "My Theme",
components = {
button = {
atlas = "themes/button.png",
insets = { left = 8, top = 8, right = 8, bottom = 8 },
scaleCorners = true, -- Enable corner scaling
scalingAlgorithm = "bilinear" -- "bilinear" (smooth) or "nearest" (sharp/pixelated)
}
}
}
```
### Scaling Algorithms
- **`bilinear`** (default): Smooth interpolation between pixels. Best for most use cases.
- **`nearest`**: Nearest-neighbor sampling. Best for pixel art that should maintain sharp edges.
### When to Use Corner Scaling
- **Pixel art themes**: Use `scaleCorners = true` with `scalingAlgorithm = "nearest"` to maintain crisp pixel boundaries
- **High DPI displays**: Use `scaleCorners = true` with `scalingAlgorithm = "bilinear"` for smooth scaling
- **Fixed-size UI**: Keep `scaleCorners = false` (default) for pixel-perfect rendering at original size
### Per-State Scaling
You can also set scaling per-state:
```lua
button = {
atlas = "themes/button_normal.png",
scaleCorners = true,
scalingAlgorithm = "bilinear",
states = {
hover = {
atlas = "themes/button_hover.png",
scaleCorners = true, -- Can override per state
scalingAlgorithm = "nearest" -- Different algorithm for this state
}
}
}
```
## Tips
1. **Start Simple**: Begin with one component (button) before creating a full theme

4. **State Variations**: For button states, change colors/brightness rather than structure
5. **Atlas Packing**: Use tools like TexturePacker or Aseprite to create efficient atlases
6. **Transparency**: Use semi-transparent backgroundColor to tint themed elements
7. **Corner Scaling**: Enable for pixel art or responsive UIs; disable for pixel-perfect rendering
