[Xerte] Re: hover colour on status bar menus

Hi Julian

I've got a very odd problem with this that I can't resolve :-(

People reported that the progress indicator page numbers weren't showing and
it turns out they're working fine on Windows but not on Mac. I'm using
http://lcmmoodle1.lcm.ac.uk/xerte/play.php?template_id=28 for testing. I've
been round the houses trying to resolve it and at the moment changed the
selectable property of the two text fields to true to verify that the font
or font size isn't the problem. If it wasn't working on both Windows and
MacOS I might understand but as it's working fine on Windows on any browser
but doesn't work on MacOS on Safari or Firefox I'm totally baffled! Changing
to one of the default themes shows the numbers on Mac just fine so it
suggests the problem is with my default theme but why would it work fine on
Windows and not on Mac! Any ideas?

Cheers

Ron

Thanks for your help. Haven't been able to sort that last bit yet but most
of it is working http://lcmmoodle1.lcm.ac.uk/xerte/play.php?template_id=28

Look in the help for FStyleFormat object for the combo box, then use
setStyleProperty

Try highlight? hightlight3D? focusRectInner? focusRectOuter? They look like
the most obvious ones.

Thanks although  I think it's textSelected e.g. the text above the hover
colour. I had that set in styles.css but what was confusing was that 

cbo.setStyleProperty("textSelected", STYLES.textSelected); didn't seem to be
working so had to set cbo.setStyleProperty("textSelected", 0xffffff);

Got it working now but just trying to find what I need to change to turn the
border of the combo boxes off so that the status bar doesn't have the box
lines?

Cheers

Ron

Cheers inbetween message had already got that bit working e.g. 

Changed

STYLES.titleBarColour = titleBarColour=0x84A2C6; 

to 

STYLES.titleBarColour = 0x000000;

Now I need to get the text above that to be white instead of black.

I've actually got titleBarColour set to black which is why all is fine when
the LO first loads. I'm drawing a white box over the top of the titlebar
area to keep that white. The problem only happens when selecting default
from the menu but I can't find where that's going wrong. :-(

Sorry, it's because the colour used for the selection property is the one
for titleBarColour, so you must have that set to white.

Hi

I think I asked this once before but a long time ago and can't find it on
the archives...

I'm creating a custom theme which by default is mostly white. All is fine
when the LO loads and when using the status bar menus the hover effect shows
a black background with white text e.g.

If I select one of the other named colour schemes the hover effect works ok
too e.g.

However If I select default via the colour scheme menu then the hover colour
is white background and so doesn't show e.g.

I can't find a way to fix this either in XMLFramework or by script in the
RLT. Any suggestions?

Cheers

Ron
