Good.
Just a note : the lines are only broken between words, and there is not enough space to hold 'BRUSCHETTA' (whatever this may be) on one line on your buttons (PB does break the words, I prefer the ellipses).
You may choose another font or font size. Or use bigger buttons

I am probably using the wrong UserLib, but if I have enabled Use XP Skins in the compiler Options... is that going to change the look of the Colored buttons as well?

The PureCOLOR colored buttons aren't like ordinary buttons (I add the #BS_BITMAP style and draw on the image) : they will loose the XP skin look if colored.

Had you looked in to using these (form MS API documentation)?

COLOR_BTNFACE
The color of a button's face.
COLOR_BTNHIGHLIGHT
The color of a button's highlight area.
COLOR_BTNSHADOW
The color of a button's shadow area.
COLOR_BTNTEXT
The color of a button's text

I got them here:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjg70/vbapi/ref/w/wndclass.html

do they use hex value or rgb?

COLOR_BTNTEXT

The default colors like #COLOR_BTNTEXT / #COLOR_BTNFACE (using GetSysColor_()) are used by the PureCOLOR coloring functions when #PureCOLOR_SystemColor is used as color value.

Does the lib work with 4.20 final?

It seems so.
Report any problem if it doesn't.

Example :
MessageRequester("Purecolor 4.10","PureColor : "+PureCOLOR_Version()+" - "+" Tag : "+Date$+" - "+dbpath$,#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SizeGadget) : doesn't print "PureColor : "
MessageRequester("Purecolor 4.10","PureColor : "+" - "+" Tag : "+Date$+" - "+dbpath$,#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SizeGadget) : It's OK.

I'm still having the problem with PB 4.20 final and 14.03 PureColor library.

MessageRequester("Coucou","PureColor : "+PureCOLOR_Version())
prints : "coucou" on the title, that's ok.
But instead of printing : "PureColor 14.03", i've got only : "14.03".

I'm under XP SP2.

Your example is ok with PB4.10.
I will build a version for PB4.20 with the latest tailbite fix.

Thanks gnozal, it works great now

Is it normal the actual 14.03 release number hasn't changed since the previous release ?

Yes, since the library code hasn't changed (it's the same for PB4.0x/PB4.1x/PB4.2x).

PureColor is now bugged with the updated Listicongadgets!

Code: Select all

PureCOLOR_SetGadgetColorEx(#Gadget_main_listtrab, #PureCOLOR_SystemColor,#PureCOLOR_SystemColor, RGB(255, 255, 223), #PureCOLOR_LV_AlternateColors)

Disables gridlines!!!

A bug I realized in the PB 4.20 version (PC 14.03):
I give a ButtonGadget a color with PureCOLOR_SetButtonColor() (with the
first BackColor option). Then I disable the button and it should be gray but it
is white now (in disabled state). After that I enable the button again and now
the ButtonGadget should have the color I set before but it's sometimes gray
or white and definitly not the color I want ...

The PB 4.10 worked totally correct... (disabled color = gray; enabling gives
the correct color back!)

Please try to fix it ... because PureCOLOR is a very excellent library
