Text label of buttons changes

Post by Mag » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:16 pm

Hi all, some days after I start using LiveCode, the labels of all the buttons changed from black to gray, yesterday it changed from gray to light gray or maybe white (see the picture). Anybody else experienced this? I tried to chenge the color in a button back to black but suddenly the color back to light gray.

I use LiveCode on Mountain Lion.

These changed several times?

If you ever increase the height of a default button, it will change its look and color until you reset that height back to a max of 23. But I cannot imagine what you have going on.

Anyone?

Hi Craig, thank you for the email. This happens in all the buttons and just noticed in the fields.

If you open a brand new stack, and place a button does it look correct? If not then something strange is surely going on.
If new stacks look ok, but your current project stack is acting strange..
Have you made any font color changes at the stack or card (or possibly group) level?
Do you change foreground/text colors in script anywhere? Color changes at the stack or card level are "inherited" (same for group, any objects in group can inherit group changes, but can be overridden individually)

If you manually change a button using the property inspector, does the change work?

The fact that it appears EVERYTHING in a stack is affected seems to indicate that a setting has been changed at stack or card level, or maybe an accidental change in the ide? (or a plugin doing strange things perhaps)

Hi sturgis,

Thank you for your replay. I'm investigating based on your post. To date I learn that this problem affects only a stack with teir substacks (also in new cards created). In a new stack all go fine.
