I have a custom mach3 screenset.... basically a black screenset with green text, nice and easy to see in the garage / workshop, extract below. (for a plasma)
I have started to fiddle with a plasma screenset in Mach4 (not my creation...) and also tried to make the background black... unfortunately the sliders seem to have a white background behind the green text.... any suggestions on how to get rid of this?
The LED's seem to have a white ghosting about them (the circular ones seem to be particularly distorted hence have gone for the rectangular ones although they still have a partial white border.
Also text setting.... is there anyway to make the text bold (I get \n = newline).... just wondering about the contrast / definition seemed a better visual in Mach3 somehow...
thanks

Unfortunately I never found a way of changing the foreground colour within the screen editor or with any external wxform builders, i may be wrong but I came to the conclusion that wxlua/wxwidgets was using the system colours for sliders and other controls so it could use the windows themes.
Again the leds are a very hit n miss thing - every now and then even during normal running the background of these can turn white, unfortunately this is not a mach4 coding error, it is somewhere between wxwidgets or wxlua Z height control.

Thanks Daz, maybe someone from NFS will pick up as a minor bug (if it can be fixed) or provide a comment.
I was going to try to have a fiddle with fonts as it appears lua does not really do bold... But if you change the font to bold looking font, problem solved.
More reading and learning to do...
