glowTest updated. Changes - added logo preview on different BG colors without glow effect

@vuego @azzuro please test it and tell me how should we proceed: do we need to save glow settings for every logo, or for every design?
i also need to know if we need to make glow parameters variable or we can agree on fixed ones glow color and glow width values.

    this is my attempt to implement glow effect (if i understood it right what glow effect is). Just start attached app, and press "blur" button. You can load your own png images (works only on 200*200 pixels images), you can change glow color, glow width (similar to blur radius), and select background color for one of squares with resulted images to see how it will look like on desired background color - just after any change press "blur" again.
    @azzuro @vuego is it that what you have asked?
    please test and post settings (glow width and glow color) you'd like to have in LogoMamager plugin when glowing is active
    P.S. attached to first post
    Thanks Vasilich, this looks promising (y)
    I suggest that the glow is an extra On/Off setting so that the user can select a background style freely and then choose to apply glow or not.

    Here's my PhotoShop settings which adds the glow effect all around the logo:

    Using GlowTest2, the glow seems more weighted to the center but that also produces a beautiful effect:

    Now we just need to find the optimal setting to match all background styles I guess.[DOUBLEPOST=1377086311][/DOUBLEPOST]
    do we need to save glow settings for every logo, or for every design?
    i also need to know if we need to make glow parameters variable or we can agree on fixed ones glow color and glow width values.
    I'd say we can use one glow effect for all logos and design. That's how it's done in the Swedish repository currently. I doubt many users would want to manually change the glow parameters so fixed value will do.

    i also need to know if we need to make glow parameters variable or we can agree on fixed ones glow color and glow width values.
    i have always set only one size, for have the same effect on all logos.
    can you look the color of glow in my PSD files ? i can't now.

    Glow should be apply at least for "Simple" design, because we have less stuttering on logo display.
