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! -Bo Full-time REBOL Scripter

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. -Bo

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> --Gregg

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

[...] 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.

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
