Define alarm and warning colors in Jdraw/ATK widget

General Development

How can I differentiate the colour of a widget when in warning/alarm? by default it looks as though both warning and alarm show the same yellow. :slight_smile:

Hello,

By default both colors are the same: Color.orange.
If you want to change it, you have to use the following the static command in your code:

 
ATKConstant.setColor4Quality("WARNING",myColor);

Hope this helps.

 
/**
   * Sets the default background color for the attribute quality factor.
   * Affects all viewer running in this JVM.
   * @param quality value (can be "INVALID","WARNING","ALARM","VALID","CHANGING")
   * @param c New color
   */
  public static void setColor4Quality(String quality,Color c);

Thanks,

I am just using jdraw/synopticappli, so I would make this change in atkPanel? I think the tango distribution only has the class files, would I get the sources from svn?

Unfortunately, there is no way to change the default colors without coding.
You can write a small java class that launch the SimpleSynopticAppli and call setColor4State.


import fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.jdraw.SimpleSynopticAppli;
import fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.util.ATKConstant;

/**
 *
 */
public class MySynopticAppli {

  public static void main(String args[]) {   
    ATKConstant.setColor4State("WARING",  myWaringColor);
    SimpleSynopticAppli.main(args);     
  }

}
