KGWT Clipping mask on path shapes (svg) not working properly

Issues
1

I have a working path shape that properly renders in KGWT and in the widget. According to Kustom features, a Clip All mask can be applied to the path shape just like any basic shape (circle, square, etc). I can apply the Clip All mask to the path shape.

The Problem: With the path shape on the top-most layer within an Overlap Group, applying the Clip All mask to it causes it and the image(s) on layers below it to disappear. The expectation is that an image on a layer below it will display within the shape of the path shape and mask everything else.

Hi there,

As far as I know, a Path shape cannot be used as a clip mask in a Kustom preset.

But you can use other types of shape on top of the Path shape. Then use the Multiply filter to that shape.

Here is my example:

  • The background is a violet Circle shape.
  • The logo is a white Path shape.
  • The mask is a green Square shape, with Multiply filter.

I hope this would help.

I have no problem getting a regular shape to mask an image. What I’m trying to do is get a path shape to mask an image, or more specifically, a battery progress. According to Kustom’s own website I should be able to accomplish this. See SVG Paths in Shapes | Kustom HQ

I’ll include a screenshot of the actual text on the website.

Perhaps I’m mistakenly interpreting what they’ve documented.
