sf::Texture and MaskFromColor?

[Clairvoire]

Hello!  I have not updated SFML since March, when you changed from SVN to GIT.  (Could have put a warning in the commit log, thought the project died!)

My Question: I have a .png where the black colour in the image should be transparent, and setting the colour of the sf::Sprite determines the colour of the internal sprite.  (monochrome colour for font, this used to work)

sf_image->CreateMaskFromColor(sf::Color::Black);
sf_sprite->setImage(sf_image);
sf_sprite->setColor(some color);

How would I do this with textures now?  When I do the above, but with textures instead.  (the sf::Texture is created from the masked sf::Image) all it produces is a solid rectangle of whatever colour I set the sprite to.

Thanks in advance!

Code: [Select]

sf::Image image;
image.LoadFromFile(...);
image.CreateMaskFromColor(...);

sf::Texture texture;
texture.LoadFromImage(image);

sf::Sprite sprite;
sprite.SetTexture(texture);

But if you have a PNG then it would be much simpler to convert that black background to an alpha channel.

... I'm a moron, I forgot to assign the texture to the sprite.  No wonder it was doing a solid colour.  

Thanks for the fast response!  It took having to see it plain daylight for me, bah...
