Changing Scrollbar Colors in a Field

Post by Gage » Fri Jan 31, 2014 12:46 am

Hi,

Simple question:

What are the properties that control the scrollbar colors and threeD in a field? Specifically referring to the scrollbar that is built into fields.

I know they are shadowColor, backColor, and threeD for scrollbar objects, but I can't figure it out for the scrollbars built into fields.

Thanks!

Phil

I don't think there's any way to change those, they'll always look like whatever the lookandfeel is set to. Said that, they do react to some of the color settings when you set the lookandfeel to motiv (which is the default on mobile platforms).

If you want custom themed scrollbars for fields, you have to not use the built in scrollbars, and link up the field with your custom scrollbar yourself.

Hmm, that is strange. The default it is using is a blue slider and up/down arrows with a black background... hardly seems like standard colors!

Thank you for your response!
