Showing image in ui Button
-
This is probably an easy one. But I've been spinning my wheels for a while so I thought it's time to ask for help.
I want to show a graphical image in a ui Button (not the black-white icons that are available through the ui designer, but emojis and custom images). But no matter how I try to do this, the image always shows up as single-color silhouette.
For example, here is the "getting started" sample code from the tutorial on ui, with an added line to set the image:
import ui def button_tapped(sender): sender.title = 'Hello' view = ui.View() # [1] view.name = 'Demo' # [2] view.background_color = 'white' # [3] button = ui.Button(title='Tap me!') # [4] button.center = (view.width * 0.5, view.height * 0.5) # [5] button.flex = 'LRTB' # [6] button.action = button_tapped # [7] button.image = ui.Image.named('Ear') # added this view.add_subview(button) # [8] view.present('sheet') # [9]
This results in a blue ear.
I'm likely missing something about how these objects are getting drawn. Thanks for you help!

Change
button.image = ui.Image.named('Ear') # added this
tobutton.image = ui.Image.named('Ear').with_rendering_mode(ui.RENDERING_MODE_ORIGINAL)
This should remove the blue tint.

Ok that worked great! I read the docs and it looks like buttons default to TEMPLATE rendering mode. I never would have figured that out.
Thanks for the help!!
