CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hello again,

I created a ToggleButton that allows the definition of a text colour for its 'pushed' state. However, it looks as if the the text/label is drawn twice and the colours of these two labels are multiplied. I defined a middle grey value (0.5, i.e. #FF808080) for the pushed state but the final result on screen is a much darker grey (0.25, i.e. #FF404040). Using a normal button instead of a toggle buttons works just fine. It's only the ToggleButton that behaves differently.

Here's the corresponding entry of my looknfeel file (simplified for convenience):



I can give you the complete file if you wish. The image above is a rough illustration for my problem. The left image is the ToggleButton creating the dark grey colour and on the right image you see the version with a normal Button. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

CEGUI log:

Your looknfeel stuff looks ok from a casual scan through it. I will need to check and see if there is a bug in the ToggleButton renderer.

Hi,

I've tried to reproduce this today, but had no luck. If it would it be possible for you to provide a minimal but functional set of files (or patch a stock looknfeel/scheme) that reproduces the issue, that would be great, thanks.

I modified/patched the TaharezLook.looknfeel, TaharezLook.scheme and Demo7Windows.layout to add a modified version of my toggle button:



Here are the files: Modified Datafiles

Just in case I wasn't precisely enough about my problem with this button. I defined a colour for the pushed state of the button and a colour for the normal state:

<PropertyDefinition name="NormalTextColour" initialValue="FF808080" redrawOnWrite="true" />
<PropertyDefinition name="PushedTextColour" initialValue="FF2D372A" redrawOnWrite="true" />



In the top row of the image above you see how these colours should look like. However, the lower row shows the wrong colours that appear instead.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this. I will test it out (tomorrow, most likely) and get back to you with the results

Hi again,

Just a note to say that I was able to reproduce the issue with the data files provided, and after much head-scratching I was able to resolve the issue - the fix has been committed into v0-7 branch and additionally merged back into default.

One thing I noted was that your files for 0.7 have the version attribute written - this can cause issues when CEGUI uses a validating XML parser (Xerces, basically). You might want to check that you have CEED configured to target 0.7 in your project(s).

Thanks again for report and for the test files, it's unlikely I would have found this issue without them

CE.

You're welcome. I'm glad that I was able to help. It's the least I can do. I mean you already helped me by supplying your GUI library.

BTW: By version attribute you mean the following line?


I didn't create the files with CEED. I manually wrote the ToggleButton entries and I just modified the datafiles that CEGUI already comes up with (by hand, too), so this version attribute was already there.

Yeah, that's the attribute I meant. It's there (actually required) for the 1.0/development code, though it's not there in the v0-7 branch. It doesn't really matter, except in the case where Xerces might be used
