I have created a number of appearances (isl files) in which I have fully customized my UI, but there are 2 parts that I do not seem to be able to control.
#1 The border around the icon displayed to the left of a state menu.
By default it displays a yellow/orange border around the icon when the state is checked.I tried changing the border color on the MenuCheckMark style but that only seems to effect the border around the check mark on the menu for the current window in the windows list menus. The icons on my other state menus still have the default color.
#2 The icon/color used for the lines in the center of the scroll bar thumb
I can change the color of the triangles used in the scroll buttons by either changing the foreground color or providing a specific icon.If I do the same thing with the Scroll Thumb however it has no effect.
Am I missing something here or are these bugs in App Stylist?
Note that in most cases I am using the Office2007 ViewStyle.
ThanksMike
Hello Mike,
It is very difficult to guess the reasons for these two issues without to exam your custom AppStyle, because there are many properties which could affect the borders and scroll bar. I made small test using our Nautilus AppStyle to be sure that everything works properly. Please take a look at the attached video file for more details. Please note that I`m using our latest available version. What is your version ?
Are you able to send us your AppStyle with your settings and small sample. I`ll be glad to research it for you.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards
Have you been able to resolve your issue ? If you still have any concerns or questions I will be glad to help. If you need any additional assistance don’t hesitate to ask.
The problems appear to be related to the ViewStyle.
If I set the ViewStyle to WindowsVista then it will never display a border around the icom on a StateMenuButton.
If I set the ViewStyle to Office2007 then it will display a border around the icon but it ignores any attempt to change the color of the border.
Note that I CAN control the border color [when using Office2007] for 'checked' items such as those on the WindowList or the CustomizeToolbar list, but not for menus that are in a checked state for which I provide my own icon.
The problem with the icon on the ToolbarThumb is similar. If I set the state to Office2007/2010 then it ignores any icon I provide, but if I set the state to anything else it happilly displays my icon in the center of the thumb. (unfortunately most of my style sets use Office2007)
