🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, set_screen_blender enables a screen blender mode for combining translucent or lit truecolor pixels. 🫶

and the vibe of this particular blender mode? it lightens the colour of the destination image by multiplying the inverse of the source and destination colours. literally multiplying the inverses, bestie. 😭✨

it's sort of like the opposite of the multiply blender mode — like the multiply blender mode's main character mirror image. 🪞👑
