How can i use a white Background in a PopOver? I’d like to display QR Codes in a PopOver using a white Background. But i can’t find a workaround for this issue: https://tracker.xojo.com/xojoinc/xojo/-/issues/75942
Not even a Rectangle Control filled with &cFFFFFF shows up as such in a PopOver.
I have now packed a timer in a container like this. In this timer, the blue value in Color.RGB(255, 255, 255, 0) is slowly reduced from 255 to 0 and I can watch the background of the container slowly change to yellow. But it never looks like a white background.
(Updated the Issue with a 2nd Example showing this Test)
You’re saying at 255,255,254 it’s so yellow that it is obviously/massively not white (enough)?
Or 254,254,254?
Given how much color profiles and ‘night mode’ mess with onscreen color anyway…
No. With 255,255,255 it’s showing the Background Color as Color.FillColor (the System Window Background Color?) and from there it slowly fades to yellow.
I tried it with a Picture created in Memory. Used this as Backdrop in the Open Event of the Container, with the same result that the Background was colored in System Window Background Color.
Maybe Xojo should deactivate Translucency for Windows (or it should respect the System Setting, Windows and macOS, both have such a Setting).
The ticket says that William removed the translucent effect so the “white” could be “white”. Not sure if it will result in something people will like until seeing the results (that will show up on 2024R2).
