Customizing combo boxes - how?

[tomekslesicki]

Ok, I know it must be an obvious things but somehow, I can’t get it to work even though it seems to be documented. So, I’d like to change the background color and font color on the combo boxes that appear on the custom settings floating tile. How should I do this exactly?

Thanks again!

Ooops I answered too quickly. I just saw the last bit that you want to customise the custom settings. I don't think there is a built in way to do this

@tomekslesicki https://forum.hise.audio/topic/2620/possibility-of-changing-look-and-feel-of-custom-settings/4 if you don't mind looking at C++, but that post covers it step by step, it's pretty straight forward.

Actually I've just forgot to forward the global script look and feel to the UI elements of the settings windows. I've fixed that so you should be able to skin these combobox just like any other one.

@Christoph-Hart yay!!

[tomekslesicki]

Awesome, thank you!

[tomekslesicki]

Ok, one quick question - can I define the width of the popup box in the custom settings lists?

[tomekslesicki]

• an additional question - how can I change the background, text and get rid of the beautiful little images in the boxes that popup?

[Christoph Hart]

Funny I was working on exactly this customization on Friday...

I‘ll push this tomorrow.

[tomekslesicki]

@Christoph-Hart I love these moments!

There you go:

[tomekslesicki]

@Christoph-Hart awesome, thanks so much!

[tomekslesicki]

It's super awesome, but the only thing I can't get to work properly on this window is the font of the main text - it works fine on the headers. It works for fonts that are installed in the system like the mighty Comic Sans, but when I want to load a custom font from the images folder it doesn't work:

obj.font = "MyFont";

I've loaded the font previously with:

Engine.loadFontAs("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/MyFont.ttf", "MyFont");
Engine.setGlobalFont("MyFont");

Should I add it somehow else so that the obj.font can see it? It doesn’t work with the laf global font class either.

And one more thing - if I got rid of the icons, how can I center text to the center of the box?

[tomekslesicki]

@Christoph-Hart ?

[tomekslesicki]

It would also be amazing to be able to specify the height of the menu items to customize the vertical spacing between items! Or is it possible already?

[tomekslesicki]

Hey @Christoph-Hart, I noticed you added the fix to the font problem in the latest version, thank you!

In case anyone else was wondering about the height of the right-click popups and menu items, look at line 242 in HI_LookAndFeels.h file. You can change the height multiplier there.

[tomekslesicki]

The last question is - how to center the text box of the alert window if there's no icon? I guess it should be doable in one of the .cpp files but I'd really appreciate some direction as to where to look for it :-)

[Christoph Hart]

I've changed it so that if you want to not use any icon at all, just set the obj.type property to -1 in the script lookandfeel createIcon() method
