System Boolean with change text color property?

[AntonioNI]

Can some one make a custom button, identical to the system boolean (border goes blue and the background to a semi transparent blue on true state) but that alows me to change text color? I dont know how to do it

Silly me -- I thought this was going to be as simple as changing the Text Color property for the Control.  Grrr -- that does absolutely nothing!  Curiously, the Colors(4) also doesn't do what I expect -- I can get different colors for On and Off (but not on the System control ...), but the other two colors, which I thought represented "While Pushed" and "When Released", seem to have no effect either.  I tried this on the Modern control, as well as System, and used the OK button ...

You cannot customize system controls much. They get most of their cosmetic properties from the selected OS desktop theme.

That is because the colors of a system control are defined by -- wait for it -- the system. That's why they are called "system" controls... 😇

You can easily duplicate the desired look of a system control by modifying a regular button.

• Change the background color for the true and false case (or even import pictures)
• Use an event structure to dynamically change the color on mouse over, etc.
• use the "boolean text" properties to change the text color on the button.
