What were you trying to do?
What's wrong:
Configure dash. What I want to do is have my LOGOUT
button be the normal white background and black text.
I've added the dash clock, and I want that in reverse
video. If I set the (analog) clock to reverse video with
*clockTree.clockWindow.reverseVideo: True
the clock is all screwed up. If I set everything to
reverse video with
*reverseVideo: True
then the clock is a perfectly normal reverse video clock.
If I then try to make the LOGOUT button or it's dialog
box back to its normal color with
*logoutDialog.window.reverseVidoe: False
(similar for the button), then I just get a white box.
(Ie: white text on a white background.)
I get the same results on all of the above if I try
explicitly setting the foreground and background colors
of the windows I want to change. (Instead of using
reverseVideo.)
