    How to get a Paint (?) if you have an int variable set using xui.PaintOrColorToColor?

    You don't want to get a paint when working with XUI. Only ints.

    If you do want to get a paint for some strange reason then:
    Code:
    Dim p as Paint = fx.Colors.From32Bit(0xffff0000)

    The reason is very clear: I'm a bit confused :D:(

    Actually what I'm doing is saving a map of preferences (using B4XSerializator) and one of them is the MainForm back color, which is a Paint object.

    Code:
    mMainFormColor = mmapPref.GetDefault("MainFormColor", xui.Color_Green)
    At this point I don't know how to set the MainForm.BackColor to mMainFormColor.

    Code:
    IntColor = fx.Colors.To32Bit(MainForm.BackColor)

    I'm confused.

    This code is also correct:
    Code:
    IntColor = XUI.PaintOrColorToColor(MainForm.BackColor)

    But I have to set the MainForm.BackColor, not get it.

    Code:
    Form.BackColor = fx.Colors.From32Bit(mmapPref.GetDefault("MainFormColor", xui.Color_Green))

    (here it is nearly a different question... I don't know if I should open a new thread).

    I tried directly:

    MainForm.BackColor = fx.Colors.From32Bit(xui.Color_Blue)

    but this has no effects.

    Strangely, BackColor requires a Paint object and From32Bit returns a javafx.scene.paint.Color, which is accepted but, as I said, the MainForm back color does not change.

    The color is represented as 4 bytes (ARGB) = 32 bits.

    Works fine here:
    Code:
    MainForm.BackColor = fx.Colors.From32Bit(xui.Color_Blue)
    Dim x As B4XView = MainForm.RootPane
    x.Color = xui.Color_Transparent
    The real question is why do you need to set BackColor. Set MainForm.RootPane color instead.

    Because I "searched" a property to set the RootPane color but I didn't find it (right now I found "Style", I think I should use it).

    Don't. Use B4XView as I did in the post above.

    Very simple.

    Code:
    Dim x As B4XView = AnyViewType
    'work with x

    I wanted to test whether the BackColor works. You need to set the root pane color to transparent in order to see the back color.
