I'm using the notepad plugin on iOS which is great, but would like to change it so the text is white on a black background to match in with the styling for the rest of the app. I assume assume this is a small tweek to the .m file, but I'm no coder and am not sure what to touch. I'd appreciate a pointer... Thank you. Chris

I don't have this plugin but it may be easy for you to do this. Can you change the text colour or background in the control panel. If not do a search for [UIColor blackColor] and [UIColor whiteColor] in the .m file. It could also be in hexadicaml #000000 or #FFFFFF or RGB red 0.0/255.0 green 0.0/255.0 blue 0.00/255.0 , red 255.0/255.0 green 255.0/255.0 blue 255.0/255.0 I'm sure the code has written descriptions by it. Make them the opposite way around.

Thanks Kittsy, That has changed the screen to black, but now what do I alter to get the text I add to show up as white? Sorry to distract you :) Chris

look for something along the lines of textfield.text = [UIColor blackColor]; I'm guessing the text is used using a textfield itt could be a label. But your looking for the above. Now as standard text is black that code may not be there so you may have to create it. So you would be substituting textfield for the name of the the textfield name. copy and paste in your post the properties from the .h file. Blind coding at it's finest lol

You will make a coder of me yet Kittsy! Here are the lines in the .m where I changed the UIColor. That worked great, but no sign of 'textfield.text' in the code. //create UITextView self.textViewNotes = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, textTop, textWidth, textHeight)]; [self.textViewNotes setEditable:FALSE]; [self.textViewNotes setDelegate:self]; [self.textViewNotes setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeDefault]; [self.textViewNotes setReturnKeyType:UIReturnKeyDefault]; [self.textViewNotes setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]]; [self.textViewNotes setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15]]; [self.textViewNotes setScrollEnabled:true]; [self.textViewNotes setAutocorrectionType:UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo]; [self.textViewNotes setAutocapitalizationType:UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo]; self.textViewNotes.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth); Maybe there is a parameter in setFont that could be used? Chris

the textfield is a Textview which is textViewNotes so This should work textViewNotes [self.textViewNotes setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]; or textViewNotes.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor]

Bingo! That did the trick. Kittsy, you are a genius and a gentleman. This is unbeatable customer support- and it isn't even your plugin!!!! Interestingly, the reason why I was looking for black backgrounds throughout the app is that I am using your wonderful carousel menus, and they look stunningly gorgeous with reflections over black. Thanks again. Chris

No probs happy to help. your right reflections look amazing over the black. Go further change the font swap [self.textViewNotes setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15]]; to [self.textViewNotes setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"ArialMT" size:15]]; suitable ios fonts at www.iosfonts.com
