#2530 bg and fg for fwt::RichText

SlimerDude Thu 14 Apr 2016

Hi,

To complement bg and fg in the Text widget, here's a quick patch that adds the same to RichText. Though perhaps this could / should be moved to the TextWidget base class instead.

I would have added Javascript support too but there doesn't seem to be a TextWidgetPeer.js.

Bump!

I'm still keen on adding fg and bg to fwt's RichText widget, either through the above patch or other means.

RichText does need a bg for it fills the gaps between the text and the window. Here's a comparison of what a program looks like with the patch, and without.

Comparison of RichText widget with and without a bg property

I think we can all agree that that with looks better than without!
