Changing default colors of requesters
[1/6] from: amicom:sonic at: 4-Sep-2001 16:18
I recall a while back someone asking if it was possible to change the default
colors of REBOL's built-in requesters. I recently had the need to do so and
found the following possible method:
system/words/req-file/out/color: your-color
The above example applies to the REQUEST-FILE function.
There may be other simpler methods of doing this...Carl and others would know.
The other requesters should be able to be changed in a similar manner, but
haven't tried it yet.
Have fun!

Here I am responding to my own email. The below method works when REQUEST-FILE
has already been called, but I found a method to use before the requester
has been called and I present it now:
system/words/ctx-text/view*/vid/vid-face/color: your-color
I jumped the gun a little on my previous post, but I hope the above information
proves useful to some of you.

Thanks Bo!
I'm new to REBOL and this is something I can use. Before I found
request-file I actually got a good start on a file selection dialog function
of my own. Now I can finish it just for fun.<g>

Bo,
Looks like a tip for the the Zine.
Great to see you on the list again too.
Cheers,

One way that worked for me was changing the color of the VID-FACE
with:
system/view/vid/vid-face/color: my-color
This is the face used by LAYOUT as the "master" face, so this
changes the default background color of any layout.

Gabriele.

Thanks all,
...but !
I opened rebol desktop, and it does only take the changes in part of the
screen (under W98)
Does anybody have the same result ?
I'm searching for a 'backtile solution....
Cheers Ronald
