MaterialInputField question

Question

Hey guys,

I'm trying to modify leftContentActiveColor and rightContentActiveColor at runtime, in a script. It works, but the change isn't visible unless i trigger some GUI update from the editor. Like modifying the color manually in the editor - this refreshes all the modifications I made with the script.

Any idea what function I need to call after I change the color?

Thanks!

Hey :)

We must make some work on these properties so they can be used at runtime too you're right...
But for now, you should be using leftContentGraphic.color instead of leftContentActiveColor :)

Thanks, I'm trying to make a dark mode version of the UI, so I need to set backgrounds and certain buttons to a darker version at runtime.

Will wait for a runtime patch :)

Well, you better use the "trick" I gave because a runtime patch for this is absolutely not on top of priorities :/

foreach (MaterialInputField option4 in darkModeMUI) {
	option4.leftContentGraphic.color = new Color (1f, 1f, 1f, 1f);
	option4.rightContentGraphic.color = new Color (1f, 1f, 1f, 1f);
	option4.hintTextObject.color = new Color (1f, 1f, 1f, 1f);
}

I did that, and it works if I add the function to a switch (Toggle) for example. Each time I click the toggle - the colors are updating.

But when I run the same function at startup, it gets executed and everything is updated, except all the items in my MaterialInputField list.
Really weird.

But I did fix it with a coroutine that waits 2 seconds and re-runs the function.
