How to change formspec field highlight color?
How to change formspec field highlight color?
Starting in Minetest 5.6.0, I've noticed all formspec field elements default to having a green background color when selected. Is there any way to change this color? The only workaround so far is to disable the entire border, but that's not what I want to do. This didn't happen in previous versions of Minetest.

This probably has to do something with the irrlicht version. I think it's this color: <https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... r.cpp#L176>
TBH, I don't remember how the background of a focused field element used to look like.
It doesn't look like there's a way to change the color using a mod. You could try to make a PR to extend the style element for this.

Edit: I was wrong. It first started in 5.5.0. I think this is the change that made it happen. https://github.com/minetest/minetest/co ... bda7394d20
Hmm ok. I'll try to dig through the code to figure out if that is it or not. Below is a picture for reference of the before and after. It's the same thing for in-game formspecs. The old way was more neutral and didn't clash with other colors.

I think it's good to have a distinction on the focused element and that green fits the default theme just fine, but I understand a lot of people would want to use different colours in their formspecs. What colour what you suggest instead?

It would probably be best to somehow allow styling the field colors with the style formspec element. But if that happened, I imagine the color when highlighting text would also be an issue. It could lead to some funky color combos.

You could open a feature request, btw..

I can't find the code at the moment, been too long since I looked but those fields can be styled. What I can't remeber is where the green came from just that it was irritating to find.
I'll have another dig tommorrow if this hasn't been answered/worked out :)
Edit: Think it's just add a styling element to the fields....Could of sworn green was stored somewhere....

Code: Select all

"style[creative_filter;border=false;textcolor=#7feef3;font=bold;font_size=+4]"..
"field[0.3,4.2;2.8,1.2;creative_filter;;" .. esc(inv.filter) .. "]"
