Default background color on Vista

Reported by lyle (at lylejohnson) | November 11th, 2009 @ 06:53 PM

A user reports:

I wrote a GUI using FXRuby under WinXP. I then upgraded to Vista, installed Ruby (and thus by default FXRuby) and ran my GUI. It was then that I noticed that the colours have gone weird. The main user interface is now white (the default colour that Vista uses), but all of the data targets and tables have remained beige (RGB 236, 233, 216). Of course one can individualy declare a white background colour for each of these widgets, but then it looks garish if run on XP or Linux. Is there any setting I can apply to make the colour for the application uniform and overide the system default. I already tried such things as app.backColour = FXRGB(236, 233, 216).

FXRuby is a library for developing powerful and sophisticated cross-platform graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for your Ruby applications. It’s based on the FOX Toolkit, a popular open source C++ library developed by Jeroen van der Zijp. What that means for you as an application developer is that you’re able to write code in the Ruby programming language that you already know and love, while at the same time taking advantage of the performance and functionality of a featureful, highly optimized C++ toolkit.
