Define alarm and warning colors in Jdraw/ATK widget

# 8 years ago
steve123	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. :)

Jean-Luc	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);`

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);

steve123	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? Steve

Jean-Luc	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); } }`

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);     
  }

}
