IDE: How to go back to "none/default" Color

Post by simon.schvartzman » Wed Sep 11, 2019 12:50 pm

Hi guys, after setting one of the control color properties on the IDE color window I can't get it back to the "default/none" back slash option.

As an option what the "default" color would be?

Help please, by mistake I set my main stack background color and now all my cards have the wrong color.

That is actually a good question, there used to be a 'Clear' button there :?

Hi Simon,

You may use

Code: Select all

set the backgroundcolor of this stack to none 
show a white color (empty in inspector)

or

Code: Select all

set the backgroundcolor of this stack to empty
show a grey color (grey in inspector)
I think this grey is the default color

Best regards

I can't get it back to the "default/none" back slash option.
Right-click -> Reset to default

Good one, I'd never have guessed that!

Simon.

The hidden lesson in Jean Marc's post is that virtually anything you can do with a user action in a palette or menu can be done by "script", that is, setting properties the old-fashioned way.

Hi Craig, you are right and I'm aware about the availability of using scripts to do almost everything but cook dinner :D

But, even though maybe I wasn't clear enough on my original post, I was really looking for as how to do it using the IDE...

Cheers!
Simon
