focusColor not working

Post by snm » Sat Jan 14, 2012 10:31 pm

I'm trying to change focus color of the field, and it seems not to work. Any color I'm setting, nothing change - it's always the same blue color around selected field.
traversalOn property is set to true.
Asking for property in Message Box shows "red" color

Code: Select all

set the focusColor of field "F1" to "red"
Did I miss to declare something important or it's a bug in LC 5.0.2 for Mac?

Hi Jean-Marc and snm,

if on a mac you set menu: view -> look and feel -> emulated-Mac OS classic or Motif then the focusColor shows. Default is "Native Theme" and for that setting the focusColor has no effect since it is, well, not Native to have a red focusColor. The same goes for some other interface elements

Kind regards

Bernd
