Re: [sc-users] How to change the default server window colors, fonts, etc

There are two ways:

1. you can put something like this in startup

Server.local.window.close ;
w = GUI.window.new("Test") ;
w.view.decorator = FlowLayout(w.view.bounds) ;
w.view.background ="">Color.blue.alpha_(0.4) ; // whatever
w.bounds_(Rect(0, 500, 650, 100)) ; // ex.
s.makeWindow(w)



But I was suggesting that you cannot customize it  a lot (e.g. fonts) without rewriting  the method, as Fredrik noted.
Hence the second way


2. you can simply change the the graphic related code in the makeGui method (e.g. instead of 
GUI.font.new("Helvetica", 10);
you can put another font name)

Then you need to save the file and recompile (pretty easy, Lang --> Compile Library)
And you should see some changes

Best

Ok i found the ServerPlusGui class, but i cant find the makeGui method
Do i have to replace this class with a new one, modified, if can understand?
And then in the Startup file to close the default server and read the new
class?

Well, that's not a separate issue, in your startup you can close the  
window and recreate it (I do it in my startup).
E.g.
Server.local.window.close

But maybe -In order to customize the window- the easy way is to  
overwrite the makeGui method of Server (ServerPluGUI.sc)

Thanx for your reply..

I dont try to make a new server, just to modify the existing...To  
have other
colors, transparency and other fonts...

As far as I can understand on the fly, examining sources you should
be able to pass a window you created to an instance of Server, e.g.

s.makeWindow(Window.new)

but there's a problem with w.decorator.nextLine, as the decorator in
this case is nil.

Hmm...
