How to retrieve the mode config ?

[Marc Rechté]

I am trying to tweak MPF-MC which does not honour the widget_styles directive from the mode config file.

To get the machine config, one can do self.mc.machine_config['widget_styles'], but how to do the same for the mode file where a widget is defined ?

See mpfmc/uix/widget.py:379

Thanks

Interesting! You may be the first person to actually attempt widget styles in a mode rather than in the main machine config :)

You can access a mode at self.mc.modes['mode_name'] and it should/may have a config property. I haven't tested but looking at the code, it looks like MC goes ahead and loads up all the modes and all their configs. My only hesitation is that MC tends to use stripped-down versions of things because MPF is the one that cares about most stuff, but hopefully self.mc.modes['mode_name'].config['widget_styles'] will get you what you need!

Ok, but how do I get the mode_name where the widget is defined ?

[Marc Rechté]

I think I found the solution: instead of looking for the styles in `mc.machine_config['widget_styles']`, this should rather be done from `mc.widget_styles`

Shall I send a PR ?

[Anthony van Winkle]

Excellent find, yes please submit a PR and thank you for the fix!

I also noticed that the digit group separator is not configurable, although the code made provision for it. I have another PR that corrects this, but it also impacts MPF (config_spec.yaml). How do I proceed ?

[Anthony van Winkle]

Ah, this is a tedious part. You need to first make a PR into the MPF repository config_spec.yaml with the updated change, and then MC will be able to consume the config spec and see the new option.
