what version are you using ?
and what mode did you start the ide in (light or dark) ?
there is, or was, a bug in the IDE that left certain editors in their startup color (white or black) and there was no decent way to fix it without quitting & restarting in the other color more
this is one of the problems with Color
there’s no way to have a value that isnt a valid color
So the whole issue related to “if you left the color as &c00000000” then Xojo would assume you meant “textcolor” but if you really wanted black … well …
and setting certain values in the inspector & yeah …
Colors needed to have a int32 value and one extra one that was “null” or “default” or something else
The thing I find intriguing is that if I open something else and return to the event definition the parameters and return value are displayed perfectly OK, but as soon as I select something they dissapear.
And I didn’t meant to imply it is your fault, it was working OK until I messed up with the color scheme.
I believe it is something I did, it is the first time it has happened to me. I can see the values in a darker color than the input box background, relly hard to read but they are there.
EEEkkkkkk !!! the default colors in R3 are just … well … horrendous
I actually tried really hard to clone the look of Xcode in dark mode which doesnt use standard system colors
But … as soon as I left they put those hugely vibrant ones
So I exported the default theme from 2019r1.1 and just drop it in 2019r3.1
I thought you were the artist behind the R3’s color scheme LOL
As I mentioned in another trhead I tired to mimic the VSCode Pale Night theme which I really like and helps me a lot to not feel my eyes tired at night. Default R3 theme and recently switching to transition eye glasses was making me really dizzy.
I’ll stop messing with this since restoring defaults and reloading the theme didn’t work either.
I think I posted my default them for download
Its just an XML file
Save the following in a text file with an extension of “xojo_theme” then drag it into the navigator and it will be adopted
