Hi Patrick,

all these colors could be found hard-coded inside the default appearance file (source\themes\appearance\default\theme.js). You could change them there. Or even create a new appearance file your own.

I don't think it's a good idea to hacking the current color implementation though. We haven't just found some time to discuss all our ideas here. We just want to be sure first, before changing the existing behavior.

Hope this helps.

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

the ColorTheme I created is for one of our clients and is based on their Corporate Image, so I can not make it public. But I guess I could create a couple of colorthemes, seems easy enough :-)

I guess then there are two options:

1. Would it be possible for me to edit the source files to make those color changes? Where would I have to look. I looked at the sourcefile for the button but have not seen anything interesting in there. I know this would be a bad hack, but it would look so much more polished if this could work.

2. Would it be possible to override the buttons "hover" color once the button is created and if so, how do I do that?

I guess these two options also apply for the tab's. All I would like to change here is the light blue to a light green, and if possible the orange to a dark green. I know those two options be hacks and not supported, but it would make this whole app look so much more polished when we present this to our client.

Thanks again
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I'm really happy you have done a created a new color theme. It would be great to share it with the community if you think it's ready.

Yes, you are right. There are some settings which couldn't controlled by a QxColorTheme currently. That's just because the current theme implementation doesn't allow more color value definitions. The current ones are oriented on the available settings in Microsoft Windows(TM). We will move from these to a new scheme sometimes and add some more definitions for currently missing things. I couldn't say currently when we would have time to invest more time into this.

Hi All,

well I am finally at a point where I am starting to mess with the look and feel of my application and I do have some questions here:

I registered a new QxColorTheme and set it up with all the keywords from the default theme ( basically I copied the original theme and modified it ).

So far all works like a charm, but there are a few ( namely 2, Buttons and TabView's ) objects, which I can not seem to be control using the QxColorTheme.

On Buttons, the Highlight Color is always blue. Is it possible to change that, and if so, where do I have to look?

On the TabView, I would like to change the orange bar of the active tab and the background blue of the non active tabs. How do I do that?

Thanks
Patrick
