Currently the lay-out of the action control buttons in a text-area are outdated.
Please add more options for styling these buttons. E.g. type of button, collor of button, shadow, animation, border, etc. Another option would be to add the possibility to use custom css for these buttons.
Also, would it be possible to have a change in the button styling for mouse hover events?
Great, thank you very much!
Hi Wim... i've popped up a description of how to do the buttons as a question in the forums so others can find it though a search. Its https://community.tibco.com/questions/tip-how-style-your-action-buttons ... message me if you want actual code. In particular how we get the clicked button to change colour, how to add an icon upon click, etc. I still support your idea tho and think it would be great for this to be natively supported - in fact I'd like to be able to style all of the control items in text areas through css/html like drop-downs, mutli select list boxes, etc.
@Dave Chandler
Can you explain how you get those button working? Thank you in advance!
I'm starting to realise there's not much difference between hacking spotfire to work and using spotfire as designed! The customisation is so limited, you have to hack!
example of where we have used the jQuery .button() ... this does allow for custom CSS and also icons on the button... BUT not having to hack it would be fantastic!
Agree with this and below - remember you can work around this limitation currently using jQuery .Button() - allows for both CSS styling and binding of click action to a hidden ugly Spotfire button.... still this gets one of my votes
how about allowing custom classes when we create the button. Just allow it in the format menu. Then we can target this class with css to change the styling to our liking.
