  • Fullscreen is the only deviation that can be made from the main widget skins, as I believe.

  • I did this by creating an image of the background color, and just adding that to the widget view before anything else:

    // background
    new KONtx.element.Image({
    src: $tendril.styles.images.common.background_image,
    styles: $tendril.styles.common.background_image,
    }).appendTo(this);

    where styles has 0,0 as h/v offsets and width and height defined to take up the entire area of the view.

  • Views themselves are also style-aware, and can have styles like background images applied to them.

    Do not apply dimensions or offsets to views!

    CODE
    var MyViewClass = new KONtx.Class({

      Extends: KONtx.system.SidebarView,

      createView: function () {
       
        this.setStyles({
          backgroundColor: 'red'
        });
        
      },
      
      updateView: function () {
        //
      }

    });

  • I am pretty sure any changes to the sideBar main appearance will result in immediate rejection of the widget, as the display standard for the views is a requirement for acceptance.

    It has been discussed in quite a few other topics. :)

  • Hi Jaya,

    Please use [yourImage].setStyle('backgroundColor', 'black'), I think that you are needing this thing.

    Thanks,
    Hoa Tat.

      updateView: function () {
        //
      }

    });

    This code works properly in a simulator but doesn't work on my Samsung LE32B650. I see just a black screen.
