Hi,
Quick one I hope.

Is it possible to change the background colour of a button from within code, i.e. I want to make the colour dynamic so I can make it all black or white like a crossword. Or should I utilise the image to match my needs?

Thanks for your time.

Regards
Gary

"class ui.Button"

becomes

"class ui.Button (subclass of ui.View)"

I have often forgotten something is a subclass or not known
