hi guys!
I was trying to modify the color of Rhino interface these days by Python.
All the color change i expected had almost taken effect,
except for “Rhino.Options.UiPaintColors.InactiveTabBackground”.
Whatever color i set for InactiveTabBackground,
it just keep the default Color [A=0, R=255, G=255, B=255].
At the same time, i found something strange.
If i set a newcolor = default Color [A=0, R=255, G=255, B=255],
the codes would change “Rhino.Options.UiPaintColors.NormalEnd” color to its default.
If i set a newcolor = other color,
the codes would change “Rhino.Options.UiPaintColors.NormalEnd” color to the newcolor.
I was really confused.
I’m a beginner in Python, maybe i have not found the right way.
Here’s the codes I wrote for test.
import Rhino.ApplicationSettings.AppearanceSettings as ras
import Rhino.ApplicationSettings.PaintColor as PaintColor
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
newcolor = rs.CreateColor([255,255,255,0])
# PaintColor(23):InactiveTabBackground
# the codes below will not change the InactiveTabBackground color
# but i found something strange
# if newcolor = default Color [A=0, R=255, G=255, B=255]
# the codes will change "Rhino.Options.UiPaintColors.NormalEnd" color to its default
# if newcolor = other color
# the codes will change "Rhino.Options.UiPaintColors.NormalEnd" color to newcolor
ras.SetPaintColor(PaintColor(23),newcolor)
rs.Redraw()
import Rhino
import System
from System.Drawing import Color
# get the color
pc = Rhino.ApplicationSettings.PaintColor.InactiveTabBackground
old_color = Rhino.ApplicationSettings.AppearanceSettings.GetPaintColor(pc, True)
print "OldColor: {}".format(old_color)
# set the color
new_color = Color.FromArgb(255, 245, 245, 245)
print "NewColor: {}".format(new_color)
Rhino.ApplicationSettings.AppearanceSettings.SetPaintColor(pc, new_color, True)
Hi @clement ,
Thanks for your patience and help !
I have learned the other way to try solving the problem from your codes.
I tested it with your codes, but the problem is still not solved.
Your codes also encountered the same problem as mine.
then i ran this code and tried to change the color for InactiveTabBackground to Color.Yellow:
import Rhino
import System
from System.Drawing import Color
# set the color
new_color = Color.Yellow
print "NewColor: {}".format(new_color)
Rhino.ApplicationSettings.AppearanceSettings.SetPaintColor(pc, new_color, True)
the result is that InactiveTabBackground did not change, however it changed NormalEnd to Color.Yellow instead.
