BR, I now saw, late -- sorry, that you are using button's showName, that is, the text colour has to be adjusted, not the pattern.
Then using a text field instead of 'showName' and setting the field's ink to "notSrcAndReverse" should do what you want (incl. nice effects). OR: Here's a formula for a weighted mean close to that some professional apps use when converting an image to grayLevel. This is derived from "perception" values (note: .6 is close to goldenRatio) of the human eye: ## g = (1*r + 6*g + 3*b) div 10 for each r,g,b-pixel used for fully opaque pixels. hh _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
