CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

is it possible to have a StaticText with a background color?
i tried

<Window Type="TaharezLook/StaticImage" Name="Testing">
<Property Name="BackgroundEnabled" Value="true"/>
<Property Name="BackgroundColours" Value="tl:FFDFDFDF tr:FFDFDFDF bl:FFDFDFDF br:FFDFDFDF" />
...

but it didn't seem to do anything

i also tried editing the sample demo "first window"
and added this before the return true;

CEGUI::Window * w = winMgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/StaticText", "text");

w->setPosition(UVector2(cegui_reldim(0.25f), cegui_reldim( 0.25f)));
w->setSize(UVector2(cegui_reldim(0.5f), cegui_reldim( 0.5f)));
w->setProperty("Text", "testing");
w->setProperty("BackgroundEnabled", "true");
w->setProperty("FrameEnabled", "true");
w->setProperty("BackgroundColours", "tl:FFFF0000 tr:FFFF0000 bl:FFFF0000 br:FFFF0000");
wnd->addChildWindow(w);

the window shows up, but doesn't have any coloring

any ideas?

I've tried but failed.
