[Plib-users] Customizing puSlider objects

[Ibrahim M. <ib...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am trying to customize a few sliders I am using. I know how to change their color, style, size,
width, etc... but I can't seem to find anything in the documentation on the website about how to
change the color of the little box that moves inside the slider.

Also, is there a way to make it so that the first part of the slider (from the lower end of it up
to the little box) is of a particular style and color, and the rest (from the little box up till
the higher end of the slider) is of another?

Thank you,
ib

I think it's coded to always be drawn in the same colour as the slider's main widget.

In plib/src/pui/puSlider.cxx, the function that draws the 'handle' on the slider is called
puSlider::draw_slider_box.   It calls 'puBox::draw' using the same colours as the puSlider
itself - so without some significant recoding, this isn't something you can change.

Nope - there is no way to do that either.
