iOS Controls look terrible compared to in-LC

Post by booee » Wed Feb 19, 2020 7:02 pm

For some reason when I build an app for iOS phone, the buttons, fonts, and controls all look TERRIBLE.
I attached an image to this message to show the difference from inside Livecode to what it looks like on my iPhone.

When building, I have "Select Inclusions Manually", because otherwise LC won't add any of them so I have to do it.
I also include a /fonts folder in "Copy Files" area, to make sure the fonts looks the same.

But you'lll notice, the buttons are just gross looking. The menus don't translate over.
Even things such as the DataGrid (in other sections of my app) have different (bad) highlight colors compared to what shows in the app.

Any ideas on what is going on here?

Thanks in advance for help or insights!

Hi booee ,
I think there is only workaround solutions for this
You may use "Switch Button" widget instead check boxes.
For menus, I use a group with a tranparent btn, same for your exemples"ligue infos" and "update player..."
Best regards

Bummer. Thanks so much for letting me know though, Jean Marc.
I thought I was maybe just doing something wrong.

Cheers,

Randy
