Enable CSS file from cn1 settings lead to failed loading theme.res file

 

can i use both two files in same project ? 

..

if yes, why i got failed in loading theme file ?

CSS generates a new theme.css file every time you build the project. You can have another res file but it can't be named theme.res. You can add its styles via theme layering as explained here: https://www.codenameone.com/manual/advanced-theming.html

Okay that's work

Is there an easy way to change color of shadow from black[default color] to yellow?

[Shai Almog]

This very much depends on the type of shadow you created. How did you create the shadow?

[Fuad Nassar]

from theme.res file 

i created a simple style and used it by UIID

On a border? A round or round rect border?

[Fuad Nassar]

round rect border -_-

[Shai Almog]

There is no feature to control the shadow color in RoundRectBorder. I've added a shadow color property to the RoundRectBorder class which should be there for the weekly update.

But doing this in the UI is more challenging so if you want that you'd need to customize it from code.

Thank you soo much. I will keep following cn1 blogs for the next week.

I won't post about it as it's a pretty minor thing. RoundRectShadow will just have a shadowColor(int) method after the next Friday update.
