B4J Question [SOLVED] [ABMaterial] Can a Gradient be set to Page Background?

[Cableguy]

Hi ABM Gurus!!

I am trying to restart a few forgotten projects using ABM, and as usual, trying to do with it what it was not indented to do.
SO my new "quest" is..... can a gradient be set as page.BackgroundColor?
I understand that using Canvas it can (maybe) achieve that, but the memory needed worries me!
Any other trick, besides using an image as page Background?

Thanks in Advance

I think this is done with background-image: linear-gradient(lightblue, darkblue);

Some javascript on the page would be needed to grab the body div, add this property and then use page.ws.eval() + page.ws.flush to run the script

Hi, Thanks for your reply....
So I would need to use B4JS?
Do you have a simple example?

 

[alwaysbusy]

No B4JS needed I think. I see if I can set something up

try in Connect_Page first thing:

Dim script As String = $"$('body').css("background-image", "linear-gradient(lightblue, darkblue)");
$('body').css("min-height", "100vh")"$
    
page.ws.Eval(script, Null)
page.ws.Flush

I will, if I can get ABMaterial working again.... I think I broke it beyond repair.....

[ABMaterial] I think i finally broke it beyond repair!

Since yesterday evening, my ABMaterial attempts won't connect! The server is started, but I am guessing no socket is being returned! This is my log window after starting an unchanged Template project (full framework) And all I get is the spinning circles.... If I click on one of the null...

I can confirm that works!
Is there a way to add that too to the

  $('#login-content').removeClass('transparent').addClass('white');"$

Part of this, so that I can apply a complementary gradient to the modal sheet?

 

[alwaysbusy]

Have you tried appending the css() part at the end of that statement?

 

[Cableguy]

yes i did, and it "Nulls" the whole line bringing back the straight corners.
