B4J Question TextArea in yellow with CSSutils

[MarcRB]

Hello,

I think a very basic question.
I'm struggling with textarea black letters on yellow background. Just like a post-it memo.

First I tried a light yellow backcolor at designer properties.
But at runtime it is white.

Then I tried those two lines of code. Both did not result in a yellow textarea.

[CODE lang="b4x" title="StyleSheets Properties"]CSSUtils.SetBackgroundColor(txtMemo, fx.Colors.Rgb(255,242,204))
'or
CSSUtils.SetStyleProperty (txtMemo, "-fx-background-color", "yellow")[/CODE]




Please let me know how I can make it yellow.

Marc

It works here directly in the designer, are you changing any other attributes on the textarea, or using the SetColorAndBorder method on it anywhere that you've forgotten about?

Works for me too

(Apologies for size of screen grab - 4k monitor has far too many pixels)

Now that is strange, I tried it with your colour : #FFF4F488 and I just get a slight yellow hue around the edge.no colour in the middle.

In fact, anywhere at the top of the picker box in yellow doesn't show.

#FFF4F488 according to a web search is this colour

(it looks white'ish to me)

 

[stevel05]

#FFF4F400 doesn't appear. #FFF3F300 does

Add it to the Extra CSS box in the designer with: -fx-control-inner-background:#F4F488; and it displays. How weird is that. Although it is targeting a different node I guess. So perhaps, there is your answer.

Maybe is it because my textarea is on a pane and that pane is on a accordion. I did not try without accordion, yet.

Post#8 Was a solution for the color.
Thanks. I changed the color to FFF2CC because it was a little bit to yellow for me.

As you noticed in post #4, there is also a litte hue. (focus border)
See the images. I would like no border in the textarea.


No focus (grey border)

Has Focus

Wish no border / focus (this image is created by photoshop/paint)

Have you set the border width to 0 in the designer? Also Try adding -fx-focus-color:Transparent;-fx-faint-focus-color:Transparent or whatever colours you prefer to the Extra CSS field. Don't forget a semi colon in between each.

If you're going to do a lot if this fine editing, you'd probably be better adding a stylesheet.

In the designer the border width was set to 0

your extra css code worked for 'has focus' situation.
For no focus situation I added " -fx-border-color:#FFF2CC;"

[CODE lang="java" title="Extra CSS" highlight="4"]-fx-focus-color:Transparent;
-fx-faint-focus-color:Transparent;
-fx-control-inner-background:#FFF2CC;
-fx-border-color:#FFF2CC;[/CODE]

Result:

Thank you.
