File path control - browse button colour/color

[Tournifreak]

I can't change the colour of the browse button on a file path control. I'm using LV 8.5, but I think I have the same problem on 7.1

Is the only way to change the colour to customise the control? Every other part of it seems to take colours from the tools palette.

Thanks for any pearls of wisdom.

I beleive that you answered yourself - I think the only way to do it is to customize it...  I usually edit a picture in PAINT and drop it on top of my buttons

Jon,

I suspect that the browse button is like a system control or a strict type def.  In either of these cases you cannot change the appearance.

However the size can be changed which tends to rule out the strict type def and it does not look like any system button, at least on the Mac.

The reason you cannot change the color is the button is purely an image.  Even though the button appears to be that same as other LabVIEW booleans, they took an image and imported it into the button.  You can do this with any boolean.  So, you'll need to make your own button image in something like Paint and customize the button in the path control to import the new pictures.

I am able to change the path browse button color in 8.51 are you trying to change the button color or the color of the folder on the button.  To change the buttoin color use the paint tool and make sure you hit the space bar so you are painting the left color (Background color I cant remember which is which).  This probably doesnt work on system buttons.

Another thing on the browse button, you can replace this with any button you would like if you customize the path control.
