How can I get an amber glow filter?

[franalbani]

Hi! Thanks for this great project!

I'm trying to get rio to look like cool-retro-term's amber profile:

Using these tricks:

$ find /usr/share/libretro/shaders/shaders_slang/ -iname '*.slangp' | gum filter | xargs -I path sed -i '/^filters = / s:\[".*"\]:\["path"\]:' ~/.config/rio/config.toml
$ find /usr/share/libretro/shaders/shaders_slang/ -iname '*.slangp' | pv -qlL 1 | tee /dev/stderr | xargs -I path sed -i '/^filters = / s:\[".*"\]:\["path"\]:' ~/.config/rio/config.toml

I managed to explore many filters, but I could not find anything similar.

Should I keep looking for one specific old monitor slangp file or should I combine many filters to get the same effect?

Also: I've noticed rio does not updates the frame unless I type or a program changes the screen content. The glow effect won't work if this is always the case. Can this behavior be changed?

Thanks!

Hey there, thanks for the message!

That filters is dope! I don't know really where can find that one in slang, but if i were doing I would combine many filters to get the same effect.

You need to use renderer.strategy = "game" to enable frame render

You need to use renderer.strategy = "game" to enable frame render

That was it! Thanks!

Do you know which is the right community to ask the question of how to create the effect?

Or creating custom slangp file is easy?
