Answer dialog bg color question

Post by Srdjan » Sun Jan 04, 2009 6:09 pm

Hi

Is there a way to set bg color of answer dialog?
For some reason, it appears with the bg color of my main stack.
I want it to be default (gray).

It has main stack's bg color only in standalone. In editor it looks ok.

I am using Rev 3 on WinXP

Thanks

This is a normal consequence of the 'inheritance' scheme of colors: all substacks that don't have their own color set, inherit the colors of the main stack. When you build a standalone, all included stacks (such as Answer and Ask dialogs) automatically become substacks of the standalone main stack.

But you can always set the colors of the 'card' of your main stack, and leave the stack colors empty, to ensure inheritance of the system colors.

Hope this clarified it,

Jan Schenkel.
