[solved] Default text colour.

[sueastside]

Hello,

I just finished updating the Crystal Space's CEGUI renderer for 0.7. And as I was playing around with the new stringparser markup functionality([colour=""]), I couldn't seem to find a way to set a default text colour and overwrite it on a per window basis.

You used to do

Code: Select all

<Property name="TextColours" value="tl:FF000000 tr:FF000000 bl:FF000000 br:FF000000" />


but RenderedStringTextComponent.cpp:166 multiplies the colours, which blackens all, so things like [colour="FF00FFFF"] have no effect, even added images go black.

Ofcourse I could remove the TextColours property and stick with the default white, but then i'd have to add [colour="FF000000"] to all my text, which doesn't seem very practical, or am I missing an option somewhere?


Thank you.

Haven't use it, but it looks like you can use this property with your font to change it, so you might want to try it:

Thanks, but i don't see it exposed to an xml property anywhere, it would also require to make a new font for each colour variation.
So still not that practical

Revenge of the case sensitive property attributes.

Code: Select all

<Property Name="TextColours" Value="tl:FFFFFFFF tr:FFFFFFFF bl:FFFFFFFF br:FFFFFFFF" />

Notice Name and Value for properties in layouts, and lowercase in looknfeel.

Yeah, sorry

I'm considering making this less of an issue for non-xerces users by making the xml tags and attributes case-insensitive for future releases. What say you guys?

CE.

Sounds good.
