B4J Question Text colour [Solved]

[Roger Daley]

Hi All,

I am attempting to port a B4A APP to B4J and I am having trouble with text colour in views.

With Buttons and labels I can set the colour in the designer by entering #FF0D88BF as the colour. This produces the correct Blue colour.

With text fields setting the colour in CSS as :
-fx-padding: 0; -fx-background-color:transparent; -fx-text-fill: #FF0D88BF; -fx-alignment: center-right;
I get a Pink text.

If I change the text colour of a button programmatically:
BtnMetric.Style = "-fx-text-fill: #FF0D88BF;-fx-background-color:transparent;"
I get the same Pink coloured text.

If I change the text colour of a button programmatically:
BtnMetric.Style = "-fx-text-fill: Blue;-fx-background-color:transparent;"
I get blue text, but not the required blue.

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Regards Roger

Have you checked if the values are ARGB or RGBA
In your first example #FF0D88BF gives pink but #0D88BFFF gives blue, the alpha is being read as the red value in the first value.

I think -fx-text-fill only reads RGB values(no alpha) so #0D88BF would give you the colour you wanted.

Thanks Daestrum,

You picked it in one. Using RGB only, works.

Note that you shouldn't set the Style property directly. Use CSSUtils instead.

Don't worry I've found it.
