I am trying to modify the color of the text for my radio buttons, but I do not want all of them to be the same in my game.

I know I can edit the game's looknfeel file and add this under the radio button section in order to change the colors:



However, I want to it to be different for different parts of my game. Basically I want to be able to do it in the same way as text:



Instead with radio buttons, perhaps something like this:



Is this possible?

Can't be done?

I would think something like this could work:

Radiobutton* rb = static_cast<Radiobutton*>(getWindow("MyRadiobutton"));
Color color(red, green, blue, alpha);
rb->setNormalTextColour(color);

Make the look'n'feel use a ColourRect property instead.

Second attempt...

This might be what lindquist was saying:

rb->setProperty("TextColours", "tl:FFFF0000 tr:FFFF0000 bl:FFFF0000 br:FFFF0000");

The sad thing is that this code comes from this post from myself...where oh where is my memory going!

If the looknfeel defines the TextColours property and uses it as a ColourRect then yes.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by making the look'n'feel use a ColourRect property. Is this simple to do?

I'd certainly prefer to specify the colors in the look'n'feel and layout files instead of modifying any C++ code, if this is possible.

Within TaharezLook.looknfeel, under the TaharezLook/RadioButton section:

which means that we can use:

When I add the <propertyDefinition...> tags, I get an error that says it already exists within the system. Here is what my RadioButton looks like:



What am I doing wrong?

I have not played with looknfeel yet so can't help you much. But what happens if you do not add these first 4 lines to your looknfeel, can you use rb->setProperty("NormalTextColour", "FFFF0000") nonetheless?

When I call the following, it just sets to the default white radio button color:

<Property name="NormalTextColour" value="FFFFF444" />


So basically it just ignores the call. This is what it looks like:

I'm not sure how to use ColourRect properly for what lindquist is referring to. Do you know how to do that?

Ok I fixed it. The problem was that my .imageset file was missing some stuff, and for some reason it prevented me from changing radio button text colors.

So now I can change their color like so:
