Is it possible to make the background of a button look different to the other buttons on the same toolbar?
I want the button that appears on my drive toolbar when an external device is plugged in to be a different colour to the other buttons so it stands out more. I’ve altered the colour and I can see the the colour changes when in customize mode, but when I come out of the button it reverts back to default.
This is the code I have in the button.
Go DRIVEBUTTONS=fixed-cdef,removable+i,lettersbeforelabels
In the image it is the last button on the tool bar (removable Disk)
For individual buttons I'm not aware of a way to do this however you can change the look of all buttons on a toolbar. So you could create a new toolbar with just one button on it and in customize/toolbars set the colors as you want.
For the one button the command might be something like:
An individual button's text and background colours can be changed via the two Color boxes. In the screenshot below the background one has been changed to red:
Nudel I used the two colour boxes to get the blux colours you can see in the image. The problem is that when I leave customize mode the colours disappear back to defaults. I think this is because the button is a "DRIVEBUTTONS" button.
What I want to do is for the colours I pick to stay after I leave customize mode.
Ah yeah, it looks like the DriveButtons command ignores its background colour. I'll file a bug report as it should respect the setting. For now, like John suggested earlier, a standalone button with "Go i:" or similar on it should let you change its colour.
