Probably silly skining problem...

[ACTCMS]

BTW The trouble's really about to start... your man's started looking at skinning :eek:

I'm trying to refer to a NamedColour defined in the (Blue) baseskin such as

<NamedColor name="ListSelected" color="#4500FF00"/>

in a plugin skin as in

<DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="217,22" radius="7" borderWidth="4" borderColor="White" fillColor="??????"/>

but I can't figure out the syntax needed to assign the NamedColour to the fillcolor - sorry, must be getting too old...:o

Although, on the plus side, I did figure out 'transparent'

In some places you have to use a real colour rather than a NamedColor. This is because the NamedColor supports gradients etc, which arent usable in all places.

A real colour is either one of the Microsoft constants, like Black, White, Blue, Salmon etc, or a #RRGGBB or #AARRGGBB constant. So, fillColor="#4500FF00"

[ACTCMS]

OK - but suppose you know that the BaseSkin NamedColor is an #AARRGGBB colour, could I refer to it in another skin?

[sub]

Only in those places where you can take a named colour (which is most places). I'm not in front of my development PC so I cant check the specific example above to see if it supports named colours, but if it did, then you'd just do fillColor="ListSelected".

Thanks for that... Looks like I've got more reading to do with this project...
