Re: bordercolor of buttons

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

Hi Klaus,

Very much a 'feature' in heavy inverted commas. I've tested as far back as
5.0.2 and it has ALWAYS been this way. Round rect button borders are set
using the forecolor, not the border colour. If this were a 'bug' I'm sure
it would have been noted as such somewhere in the quality sub-site. It is
not a 'feature' that seems intuitive or even correct, but it is the way it
has always operated until now. Some 'incorrect' functionality just has to
remain the same to maintain the status quo. I, for one, however, would
prefer it if it were made consistent with other buttons. It is not clear
'why' it is the way it is.

Klaus,

Your first message didn’t indicate that you’d unchecked 3D…

But, I see what you’re seeing. Given that the same options appear for the 
‘color’ of both types of buttons, I’d call it a bug.

I was not talking about a button with its 3D is ON!
Is nobody reading what I write?

Create a button of type "roundrect"
Uncheck 3D
Set its BORDERCOLOR
No change in bordercolor

Switch that buttons STYLE to "rectangle"
Et voila, now we can see the bordercolor!

Switch STYLE back to "roundrect" and if we now change the FOREGROUNDCOLOR
that will also affect the BORDER.

I do not need a workaround, I just want to know if this is a bug or feature!

I don’t think it’s a bug, it’s just the nature of the beast, I seem to 
remember that the threeD effect is generated by pre-made graphics or 
images, although I may be totally wrong. It would be useful if this kind of 
info was in the dictionary, then we wouldn’t be forced to rely on ageing 
grey matter quite so much.


Anyway, the way I have managed to overcome this in the past is to use an 
Inner Glow effect set to 1 or 2 pixels. You can also add a 1px Outer Glow 
for a more intense colour effect. You have to be aware that it is adding 
colour to grey, so it’s not perfect, but it does allow you to use some 
colour on the border of a standard button while keeping the rounded corners 
and threeD effect.


I totally agree that setting the "Border Color" Property would be much 
easier though.

Re: bordercolor of buttons

Like Sean points out, this is caused by the “threeD” property being on.

I don’t think it’s a bug, it’s just the nature of the beast, I seem to remember 
that the threeD effect is generated by pre-made graphics or images, although I 
may be totally wrong. It would be useful if this kind of info was in the

 I have to set the FOREGROUNDCOLOR which also affects its BORDERCOLOR.
 
 This is not the case if I set the buttons type to e.g. "rectangle", then
 the before

Re: bordercolor of buttons

[ELS Prothero via use-livecode]

Folks,
This issue also confused me recently when I was making an app for my own use. 
It seems like an idiosyncrasy to me, even tho a pretty minor one that could be 
mentioned in the dictionary.
Best,
Bill

yes, but I was clearly referring to a button.

AND if they are not "roundrect"!
Then the BORDERCOLOR does nto work!
It does if you switch to e.g. "rectangle".

And that was puzzling me a bit. 8-)

Klaus,
Forecolor IS the border color. It always has been for shapes including
circles, polygons and custom shapes. Buttons have a bordercolor property
but only visible if 3d is off.

bordercolor of buttons

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi friends,

bug or feature?

I have a "roundrect" button and cannot set its BORDERCOLOR!?
I have to set the FOREGROUNDCOLOR which also affects its BORDERCOLOR.

This is not the case if I set the buttons type to e.g. "rectangle", then the 
before 
set BORDERCOLOR will be displayed.

No hint in the dictionary about this, so but or feature? :-)


Best

Klaus
