Hi all,
Can I change the existing resources of Roles in AppStylist?
For example: with UltraTabControl role, we have BlackTapHor resource (click on Resource tab). Can I change this resource?
Any helping will be appreciate :)
Thanks
Hi,
I find your question a bit puzzling. In order to take this screen shot, you have clearly opened up the isl file in AppStylist and selected the resource. So you should see the properties of this resource in AppStylist at the bottom and you can edit whatever you want.
So I'm not sure what you are asking.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply :), I already solved this issue by myself.
May I ask you another question?
Can I set border color for Disable state of UI Roles? (as an image below)
Many thanks to you, Mike :)
You said the resource can be changed as needed. But if I edit the Resource GridRowOffice2K7Black_Active in AppStylist, the preview shows some orange back color. How I can change this color?
There is no color set within the the back color properties. If I choose a back color, the preview changes the border color instead(?!).
Where the orange color comes from? ...and why does the border color changes?
Thanks for your help. Regards.
Markus
Hi Markus,
I don't understand your question.

What do you mean by "edit?" What, exactly, are you changing?
What is showing an orange color? There's no way I can guess where this color is coming from without knowing what it applies to and what you changed to make it appear. Even then, I couldn't tell you where it comes from off the top of my head.
What I usually do in a case like this where I am trying to find out where a color or appearance is coming from is, I will go through the UIRoles in AppStylist and reset them one at a time until the color goes away.
Hello Mike,
Edit: I open the .ISL file in app stylist and select the Resources-tab. Then I select the GridRowOffice2K7Black_Active resource.
You wrote futher up in this thread that anything can be changed. As you can see (see attached pic) there is no property of the background color set.If the default color, however, would be orange, I changed the background color to any other color. In the preview, the border color changes. Why this?
I can not find where the orange back color is defined? Maybe I'm missing something how the app stylist is working.
Regards
I can see by this screen shot, that there is no background color applied to this resource. But there is a background image.
So my guess is that if you are changing the background color and you are only seeing that color around the edges, it's because the background image is covering most of the object and there's only a little bit around the edges that is not covered.
What Image??? I see Background Image property is set to "file" but I can not see any file name or information what this is. PLEASE can you tell me what "file" or anything else this is? ??
Looking at the .ISL file with notepad I just see some "cryptic" data after the <imageBackground> tag.
Hi Michael,
What do you mean by "bulk import pictures"? Can you give an example? Thank you in advance!
No, don't need this function. I was just struggeling finding the images for the Checkbox/Radio a while ago. Thought it would be helpful for others.
But a good new function would be if it would be possible to bulk import pictures.
Michael
You are correct. Only images from Resources and UIRoles are exported.
Images assigned to ComponentRole properties are not. Is this something you need?
This is not totally true.
Images used as CheckBoxGlyph and RadioButtonGlyh are not exported!!
The file is embedded in the isl. You can see that there is a file applied, but you cannot see the image or modify it from within AppStylist.
If you want to extract the image to a file, you can do that, and then you could modify the image and replace it with a new one. What you do is to the main menu and select File-->Export Images.
You can specify a folder and AppStylist will export all images used by the isl file into a folder. The files are name based on the role and state.
