B4J Question Text colour [Solved]

Hi All,

I am attempting to port a B4A APP to B4J and I am having trouble with text colour in views.

With Buttons and labels I can set the colour in the designer by entering #FF0D88BF as the colour. This produces the correct Blue colour.

With text fields setting the colour in CSS as :
-fx-padding: 0; -fx-background-color:transparent; -fx-text-fill: #FF0D88BF; -fx-alignment: center-right;
I get a Pink text.

If I change the text colour of a button programmatically:
BtnMetric.Style = "-fx-text-fill: #FF0D88BF;-fx-background-color:transparent;"
I get the same Pink coloured text.

If I change the text colour of a button programmatically:
BtnMetric.Style = "-fx-text-fill: Blue;-fx-background-color:transparent;"
I get blue text, but not the required blue.

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Regards Roger

Have you checked if the values are ARGB or RGBA
In your first example #FF0D88BF gives pink but #0D88BFFF gives blue, the alpha is being read as the red value in the first value.

I think -fx-text-fill only reads RGB values(no alpha) so #0D88BF would give you the colour you wanted.
