Hi everybody,

Maybe I'm just blind and can't see the method, but how can I change the background of a TextRectangel from transparent to something different?
I've already tried to use the coleringattribute and the material but nothing worked for me. Is there an easy way (like setColor()), or do I really need to add a second rectangle behind the first one?


greetings,

As I can see TextRectangle has setColor method inherited from Quad (and btw it has setTexture method inherited from Rectangle).
Maybe this is what you're looking for ...

see TextRectangle.

Hi,

I've already tried setColor() and nothing happend. Changing the material also didn't yield the desired results.


Thanks for your help

If you want to change transparency you should use setAlpha

I suggest not to use the TextRectangle anymore. Creating a draw texture (static method on Texture2D) is much better, since you can do everything you can do with a TextRectangle and additionally anything you know from drawing on Graphics2D and a lot more. Just have a look at the appropriate testcases.

Thanks Marvin, I'll give it a try.
