SetGadgetColor()

Syntax

SetGadgetColor(#Gadget, ColorType, Color)

Changes the color attribute specified by 'ColorType' of the given #Gadget. RGB() can be used to get a valid color value. To remove the custom color and go back to the default system color, set the 'Color' parameter to -1.

The following values are possible for the ColorType parameter: (not every gadget supports all of them)

  #PB_Gadget_FrontColor     : Gadget text
  #PB_Gadget_BackColor      : Gadget background
  #PB_Gadget_LineColor      : Color for gridlines
  #PB_Gadget_TitleFrontColor: Text color in the title        (for CalendarGadget())
  #PB_Gadget_TitleBackColor : Background color in the title  (for CalendarGadget())
  #PB_Gadget_GrayTextColor  : Color for grayed out text      (for CalendarGadget())

This command is supported by the following gadgets: (see each gadget description for the supported ColorType values.)

- CalendarGadget()
