Native mobGUI controls look...

Post by pTom » Tue Jan 28, 2014 8:32 pm

They look great in iOS.

But in Android, they look greenish (well, actually light-greenish)! Not very pretty...lol

Why is this happening and how can I get the controls (buttons, tab bars, etc) to look blue & black like I want them to?

Ok, so I am realizing that maybe my updating feature for mobGUI isn't working correctly because my menu options look like the old way while the new stuff I am seeing for mobGUI looks completely different with white buttons, etc.

How do I get the new look mobGUI menu? Is that what I want or doesn't it matter?

My main concern is having the final standalone Android project looking decent when I load it to a phone ( which it does not currently).

Hi Tom,

I created a stack to test this and any iOS/ANdroid controls that I create using the old mobGui plugin reflect the colors that are set from within mobGui.

The options that control colors in mobGui are shown in the above sreenshot. I believe that you may have the "BG color" set to green and this could be what is causing the issue.

If you want to access the new version of mobGui (alot has changed over the pst month) you can download it from http://mobGUI.com. As it is relativley new, I would recommend asking any questions regarding this version in the dedicated mobGui forum.

I hope this gives you some leads.

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger
