  • Portal With Scroll Bar

    From Charles H. Sampson@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 24 20:04:04 2018
    I solved most of my present problems, with a lot of help. This next one
    is pretty small.

    I've got a couple of portals that have scroll bars. The thumb in the
    scroll bar is pretty difficult to see. I've poked around the Inspector, particularly the third set, whose icon is a painter's pallette. I don't
    see any way to change the contrast. There must be a way and somebody
    here surely knows.

    There's not much to do about that.

    But you can build scroll bars of your own, creating buttons and
    assigning scripts to go to the next record or to go down pagewise. But
    you can't drag that way.

    Depends on the theme under which the portal was created, as well as the
    line color used for the portal.

    It sounds like you're talking about style, Howard. If so, what if I want
    to create my own style?

    Some THEMES offer more formatting choices than others, especially when
    it comes to portals and checkboxes. Scrollbars are not separately
    formattable on ANY layout object. On some object types/themes, changing
    the line thickness and/or color will help and on some they will not
    help. You can create your own styles, but they all generally start from
    a base style that is associated with the theme. With the above
    limitations, scrollbars aren't something that can be specifically set as
    part of your style.

    There is no question for me that FileMaker's implementation of themes
    and styles is confusing and inconsistent and frustrating. But what they
    have given is us is all we have, which is likely to be the case for many versions to come.
