Stylizing build-in elements
-
Hey guys,
I am fine-tweaking the smallest graphic elements of my instrument and would like to stylize the pre-built elements...
-
Comboboxes: how do I specify a particular font to be used and font size? It is not matching the font I loaded for the project.
-
Floating tile-CustomSettings: how do I customize the included comboboxes (combobox size, font size, font weight, font color)?
-
Floating Tile-CustomSettings. The following automatically-generated buttons are invisible when placed over white background: Clear MIDI CC, Change Sample Folder and Toggle Debug Mode. How do I change background color and text color for those buttons?
-
Floating Tile- Keyboard: Is it possible to change the style of the keyboard? The value "UseFlatStyle": true, doesn't make the keyboard look flat and modern, but rather have a standard look to it. Is there more than 1 keyboard look available?
I hope that those things are possible to do. Thank you!

You have to use
Engine.setGlobalFont(). Last time I tried it, which was months ago, it screwed up all my fonts, so test it before you implement it in your main project. It might not have any problems now.- Floating tile-CustomSettings: how do I customize the included comboboxes (combobox size, font size, font weight, font color)?
Learn C++.
You can tweak some of the colours through the interface designer or through a tileData object. Checkout the way I'm doing it - https://github.com/davidhealey/librewave_woodwinds/blob/master/Scripts/settings.js

See number 2

You can change to vector style or you can use completely custom graphics. Documentation is here - http://hise.audio/floating_tile_api/class_midi_keyboard_panel.html - if you use custom graphics you won't be able to change the keyboard colours to show key switches or playable range.

@d-healey Thank you so much!
I will check out all of those resources carefully. Hopefully, I will be able to make them work
