Try this.... ..
IF it doesn't work save the XML close HISE and reload the project/open XML.

LAF with Custom settings (Transparent BG)

@Rudra-Ghosh but I want to use laf, if I comment it out and reset that doesn't fix the problem. Or will it be okay in the exported plugin?

[A Former User]

@d-healey Yes... LAF is okay in Exported plugins too.

In such case you will need to reopen HISE.

What I mean is that hiding the problem is not a solution.

Are you saying that with laf enabled and the settings panel combo boxes black, I can export the plugin and the settings panel will look normal again?

[A Former User]

@d-healey If you enable Laf register....you will get black box until or unless you write

laf.registerFunction("drawComboBox", function(g, obj) {
 .........rest of the code
    g.setColour(0xFFF7B7C7); 

[A Former User]

@d-healey I didn't hide anything...didn't hide black combobox either. If you write

laf.registerFunction("drawComboBox", function(g, obj) {
 .........rest of the code
    g.setColour(0x00F7B7C7); // make transparent

});

[A Former User]

Works perfectly in DAW

[d.healey]

So in order to use the settings tile I have to make all combo boxes transparent and then redraw the settings tile using a panel and a paint routine?

[A Former User]

@d-healey Not only transparent, you can select any Combobox/Custom settings panel color from the code.

laf.registerFunction("drawComboBox", function(g, obj) {
 .........rest of the code
    g.setColour(0xFFC7D1D6);
});

const var laf = Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel();

Always override the default LAF. So you don't need to write Paint routine to draw combobox. The default combo box will be overridden by the drawComboBox

Content.makeFrontInterface(500, 400);

const var laf = Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel();
laf.registerFunction("drawPopupMenuBackground", function(g, obj)
{
    g.fillAll(0xFF222222);

});

laf.registerFunction("drawPopupMenuItem", function(g, obj)
{
    var a = obj.area;
    var h = a[3];
    
    if(obj.isSeparator)
    {
        g.setColour(Colours.white);
        g.drawLine(a[0]+10, a[0] + a[2]-10, a[1] + a[3]/2, a[1] + a[3]/2, 1.0);
        return;
    }
    
    if(obj.isTicked)
    {
        g.setColour(0x9F5AC4EC);
        g.fillEllipse([a[0] + h/3, a[1] + h/3, h/3, h/3]);
    }
    
    g.setFont("Calibri", 15.0);
    
    if(obj.isHighlighted)
    {
        g.setColour(0x9F5AC4EC);
        g.fillRect(obj.area);
        g.setColour(Colours.white);
        g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, [a[0] + h, a[1], a[2] - h, a[3]], "left");
    }else{
        g.setColour(Colours.white);
        g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, [a[0] + h, a[1], a[2] - h, a[3]], "left");
    }
});

laf.registerFunction("drawComboBox", function(g, obj) {
    var a = obj.area;
    g.setColour(0xFF1B2129);
    g.fillRoundedRectangle(a, 1.0);
    g.setColour(Colours.withAlpha(0xFFACACAC, (obj.enabled && obj.active) ? 1.0 : 0.2));
    g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, [a[0] + 10, a[1], a[2] - 30, a[3]], "centred");
    var h = a[3];
    g.drawTriangle([a[0] + a[2] - h/3 - 10, a[1] + h/3, h/4, h/4], Math.PI*2,1.0);
});

@Rudra-Ghosh Thanks for the example, that makes it more clear. I think I'm still going to avoid LAF for now, it feels too janky.

[ustk]

@d-healey The only thing I'm not confident is the Content.createPath() issue that makes the components disappearing as we mentioned in the related thread. I'm pretty confident about the rest. It is just that switching from custom to standard LAF makes some weirdness inside Hise (hence the reset function), but once compiled, everything works as it should.

exactly what I decided......

[ulrik]

@ustk I had to put

Content.createPath()

outside the function to get LAF to work with sliders, then it's working fine also when compiled

[ustk]

@ulrik yeah that might do it, but since Christoph said it was bad to refer to external variables in a custom LAF, I’m a bit confused on doing this...
