no it’s more of a cut out text that reveals an underlying image/bg effect

Hi there
Simple question but I can’t seem to get this working.
When a ui.SegmentedControl is selected the background goes black and the text transparent. How can I replicate this transparent text on a solid black background with a ui.label text?
Tried setting text_color (0,0,0,0) and background_color (0,0,0,1) to no avail.

Thanks works perfectly:)

Hi how can I set a custom font for ui.SegmentedControl instance?
Objective C hackery?

Cheers!

Yeah the real ants is what I was looking for obvs!

Thanks guys :)
I think I just really needed to understand that it’s not
.set_line_dash(sequence [,phase])
but more like:
.set_line_dash([10,15,10,15] ,phase)

Which is what was confusing me..
Duh

Hi
How would I go about making a marching ants/continuously shifting dashed line effect between 2 fixed points using ui.animate anyone?

I’m actually using the reload method and it seems fine - I guess it’s just really inefficient is that what your saying @JonB ?
Thanks for help so far everyone.

Hiya
I’m trying to fill a tableView with rows one after the other with a slight delay between each cell appearing.

This is how I’m trying to do it - but they all still appear in one go:

def tableview_cell_for_row(tableview, section, row):
    cell =ui.TableViewCell("subtitle")
    data = tableview.data_source.items[row]
    cell.bg_color = (0,1,0,0.1)
    cell.text_label.font= ('system',(17*Hmult))
    cell.text_label.text_color = (0,1,0,0.0)
    cell.text_label.text = str(data)
    selected_cell = ui.View()
    selected_cell.bg_color = (0,1,0,0.2)
    selected_cell.text_color = (0,1,0,1.0)
    cell.selected_background_view = selected_cell
    def anim():
        if len(tableview.data_source.items) != row:
            print(row)
            cell.text_label.text_color = (0,1,0,0.5)
            ui.delay(anim,0.2)
    ui.delay(anim,0.2)
    return cell

Thankyou for that got it working at last :). I need to set each cells bg rather than the table - got it.

Hi what is the secret to getting a table view from ui designer to overlay onto a background such that only the text is visible and the cells have no background?
I have tried setting bg_color of data source and/or table view to none but it’s not happening.ie each cell is always white.
I can remove white separator lines using tableView.separator_color=(1,0,0,0).
Why won’t the same work for .bg_color and/or .background_color (and what is the difference between those two anyhow?)
Thanks in advance for any help :)
What am I missing here?
