my colors

Hi

It would be nice if we could access an array of the effective colors of the widget with my colors.

Cheers

@monte: This is quite a neat idea for now, until we sort out 'themeing' properly. I wonder if we need to be a little cleverer here, remembering that you can set a pattern or a color... The Canvas API unifies patterns, colors and gradients in a paint concept. A 'my colors' array is one option - however, I wonder if individual accessors would make more sense:

Code: Select all

my text paint
my foreground paint
etc.

This would be quite a simple addition I think - and would be consistent with the idea of 'my font'.

Great! I think it would be a quite helpful addition and save having a diverse range of property names for things like text color and maintaining inheritance is always nice.

@monte: This is implemented in PR: https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/3686
