What would i have to do to emulate the Active button look in compose?

[Alexjlockwood]

probably a Row of `IconToggleButton`s

[redrield]

Worded poorly, I meant the shaded look of the active button in this instance

[Alexjlockwood]

you might be able to try adding a Modifier.background() to the icon button if and only if it is checked? i’m not sure what color you’d use exactly… but i assume its Color.Black with some percentage of alpha applied

[redrield]

hm, I was hoping for something existing in MaterialTheme or something that could figure out the active shade given dark theme and the existing compose theme but that'd work

[Alexjlockwood]

yeah, i agree with you that i don’t think this is something that is natively supported by the material compose library. i would recommend filing a feature request here to support this: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:742043%20status:open

my suggestion was mainly just a workaround until then 🙂

[redrield]

Sounds good, thanks

there's no built in "active/inactive" but colours can be copied and modified, for the example above you could move the colour closer to / the same as the background specified in the current theme. Maybe it'd be nice to make it an extension function of androidx color with a boolean parameter?
