`BasicTextField`'s `cursorBrush` parameter default...

# compose-desktop

[Dirk Hoffmann]

`BasicTextField`'s cursorBrush parameter defaults to SolidColor(Color.Black)
I think it should default to some MaterialTheme value ... otherwise it is very hard to spot in darkModes 🙂
(btw is this chat the right place to report such things??)

Use Google’s issue tracker, problem looks generic

[Dirk Hoffmann]

Do ya have a pointer for me, please? ... so that I create it for the right Project (probably not compose-desktop!?)

BasicTextField is in foundation so it shouldn't depend on material.

[Albert Chang]

If you want a material themed text field use TextField.

[Dirk Hoffmann]

I know, but I need BasicTextField's onTextLayout: (TextLayoutResult) -> Unit = {},

[Albert Chang]

I'm saying that there's no theming in foundation and this is expected. It's used to build your own design.

[Chris Sinco [G]]

Yes @Albert Chang is correct - BasicTextField is in foundation, so it intentionally doesn’t depend on Material and MaterialTheme

[Chris Sinco [G]]

You are free to add that theming dependency though in your project. For example, I create my own TextInput Composable that I reuse throughout my app: https://github.com/c5inco/Compose-Modifiers-Playground/blob/main/src/main/kotlin/com/c5inco/modifiers/ui/controls/Inputs.kt#L491
