No color in string gadget

Post by WilliamL »

I'm not getting any color in the help example below. I'm not getting any color using any older version of PB either so I guessing the problem is not PB but something else. My older compiled executables look fine (have color) but this example doesn't show any color. Also the stringgadget has a rounded edge and the border is very faint (gray). I created an executable of below code and it looked the same. I'm using a just installed PB6.30b5 and Tahoe 26.1.

[later]
I found an update to the command line tools and it didn't change anything.
[later]
I updated to Tahoe 26.2 and looked again for new CLTs but it didn't change anything.

[later]
I discovered that if I click in the stringgadget the background color appears as a square red box is but recessed a few pixels (see below) from the rounded frame. If I click on another gadget the background color disappears. The text color appears ok. Oh, the textgadget works fine.

This problem just appeared and I'm at a loss of what to do. Same result with 6.30b6.

[later]
I added the ExplorerTreeGadget and I don't get any color there either.

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 340, "StringGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
      StringGadget(0, 8,  10, 306, 20, "StringGadget no color")
      SetGadgetColor(0, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $0000FF)
      StringGadget(1, 8,  40, 306, 20, "clicked-in StringGadget...")
      SetGadgetColor(1, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $0000FF)
      TextGadget(2, 10,  70, 250, 20, "TextGadget looks normal") ; works fine with red square box filled
      SetGadgetColor(2, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $0000FF)
      ExplorerTreeGadget(3,10, 100, 200, 200, "*.pb;*.pbi")
      SetGadgetColor(0,#PB_Gadget_FrontColor,#Red)
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
This is what I see

Not on Tahoe, but 15.73 with the macOS 26 SDK and see all three gadgets red
