Did you load the stylesheet then? In the App class?

class MyApp : App(MainView::class, Styles::class)

Are you starting

TornadoFXApp

or are you starting a View? If you just run the View via the plugin, the stylesheet would not be applied.

ah wait I was running it as view and not as APP

Yup. That would do it.

still does not do the colors though

Well, you just said "color", not "apply this color to some property" 🙂

Try

textFill = c(...)

You should enable

liveStylesheets

to make it easier to try stuff without having to restart.

but do they work when you only run the view instead of the app?

They work if you apply them 🙂 If you want to run the view and see the styles you have to override

init

and do

importStylesheet(Styles::class)

though.

Did you get the color applied?

Maybe I could add an option to the plugin View run configuration to apply stylesheets to the view...

yes it did

Great!

I'm working on the property issues in the plugin that @Ruckus found

Sorry I've been quiet for the past week or two. OReilly webcast is next week. I fell behind in prepping and after that, I will have much of my time back to focus on open source projects and finishing the guide.

@thomasnield I figured, but thanks for telling us anyways 🙂 The webcast seems to be a great hit? So cool!

@Ruckus I think I solved all the problems. Will you try this version?

@User uploaded a file: tornadofx-idea-plugin.jar

@Ruckus The old syntax doesn't support package level objects, so if you try you should get a friendly hint about trying the alternative syntax for that use case.

Hm... actually, I could just swap to the original syntax in that case, would that be better @Ruckus ?

@edvin the reloadStylesSheets does not seem to work, or I am doing something wrong

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

result in the console window:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

@edvin I'll test it out soon.

As far as package level objects go, how hard would it be to have a confirmation box explaining the issue and asking the user if they want to use the alternative syntax (possibly with the option of never asking again)?

@edvin: Another possible feature request: would it be possible if, when running on a

var

it converts it to a propertym but when running on a

val

it converts to a read only property?

I believe that would require the new syntax
