ExplorerTreeGadget color

How to set the text color to the gadget?
This code doesn't work!

Code: Select all

 If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 300, 300, "ExplorerTreeGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
   ExplorerTreeGadget(0, 10, 10, 280, 280, "*.pb;*.pbi")
   SetGadgetColor(0,#PB_Gadget_FrontColor,#Red)
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
  EndIf

No, I'm not getting any color either.

How about in the stringgadget?

Code: Select all

  If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 235, "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)
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

What system are you using?

Just for reference, on windows both code work with the colors. (I'm using 6.30 beta 6 x64, Win 10 tested.)

Do you mean something like this?

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 300, 300, "ExplorerTreeGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  ExplorerTreeGadget(0, 10, 10, 280, 280, "*.pb;*.pbi")
  
  CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(0), "setBackgroundColor:", CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSColor systemRedColor"))
  
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

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 background color") ; gadget has rounded edges with very faint enclosing lines
      SetGadgetColor(0, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, #Red) ; no color
      SetGadgetColor(0, #PB_Gadget_FrontColor, #Blue) ; I get color
      StringGadget(1, 8,  40, 306, 20, "clicked-in to see color") ; no color till clicked
      CocoaMessage(1, GadgetID(1), "setBackgroundColor:", CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSColor systemRedColor")) ; no color using this
      ;SetGadgetColor(1, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $0000FF) ; no color using this
      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(3,#PB_Gadget_FrontColor,#Red) ; no color using this
      SetGadgetColor(3,#PB_Gadget_BackColor,#Blue) ; I get color
      ;CocoaMessage(3, GadgetID(3), "setBackgroundColor:", CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSColor systemRedColor")) ; I get color!
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Here, under macOS 14.8.2, I can't see any problem.

Not all Color features work on macOS.

Item Colors are not supported on Explorer[Tree]Gadget (Is in progress)
With SetGadgetColor, the FrontColor is not set. It's probably a bug.
But it is not always easy to correct them with the updates of macOS, since a lot has been tinkered with here in the NSTableView.

At StringGadget and TextGadget works here fine.
At ListIconGadget work SetGadgetItemColor for rows but not columns (Is in progress)

Thanks for your input mk-soft.

Everything seemed to be ok until I got to Tahoe 26.1. Then when a new Command Line Tools was released I figured there would be changes that screw up PB. I'm kind of reluctant to compile my needed programs and lose them to corrupted code. So I'm in a waiting situation.
