Progress Bar

I was wondering how you would change the colors on a progress bar.

You can change the colors of a progress bar created with vizdlg or vizmenu by setting the object's theme. Take a look at the example script attached to post #3 of this thread to experiment with changing the theme. The following code changes the color of a progress bar by adding it to a vizinfo panel and changing the theme of the underlying vizdlg panel:

import viz
import vizinfo

viz.go()

info = vizinfo.InfoPanel('',icon=False)
slider = info.addItem(viz.addProgressBar(''))
slider.set(0.5)

#Set in colors for green theme
greenTheme = viz.Theme()
greenTheme.borderColor = (0.1,0.2,0.05,1)
greenTheme.backColor = (0.5,0.7,0.3,1)
greenTheme.lightBackColor = (0.6,0.8,0.4,1)
greenTheme.darkBackColor = (0.2,0.4,0.1,1)
greenTheme.highBackColor = (0.2,0.4,0.1,1)

info.getPanel().setTheme(greenTheme)

Is there a table in which we can use to figure out the colors or is it based off of trial and error?

[Jeff]

Each of the theme properties takes normalized values for red, green, blue and alpha. Press 'Alt + 1' to open a color dialog in the Vizard IDE and insert RGB values into the script.

Thank you! That really helps!
