Little bit of rant, on > CheckBoxGadget color

Post by smacker »

why is there not a 'SetGadgetColor(...)' capability for the 'CheckBoxGadget(...)' ?

Its frustrating as hell (sometimes) and stupid to jump through hoops to set the back or front color for the CheckBoxGadget(...) or not be able to set it at all when there should be a simple 'SetGadgetColor(...)' capability that can set the color. I mean, ya got the nice looking colored window, but you need a simple check box for user interaction for something so ya add 'CheckBoxGadget(...)' and start up the code and there is this nicely colored window with its carefully colored scheme of various gadgets using various colors and this check box gadget with the default grey.

ok, rant over :)
The world and human nature was screwed up before I was born. It's not my fault and I'm just stuck with trying to deal with the mess left behind, so don't blame me.

Most likely the reason is to keep the Gadget cross-platform, but you can easily DIY your own CheckBox Gadget with a small Canvas, that will be cross-platform and you have control of all colours etc.
