Hello Doru,

This feature does not exist on Text. TextAttributes I am aware of includes: underlined, italic, bold, narrow, struck out, indents, text color, fonts (fonts work poorly in some circumstances) and alignment properties. Additional things such as links and URL are there but I have never achieved to make them work.

However, highlighting is available directly in PluggableTextMorph.

If you inspect a NautilusWindow (open Nautilus, use Morph halo to inspect it), you can have in the iv model the packageTreeNautilusUI, then in the iv sourceCodeArea a PluggableTextMorphWithLimits. Then in the inspector you can do:

highlights add:��

((TextHighlight on: self)

color: Color lightBlue;

lineRange: (10 to: 30))

After moving once the window, you'll notice this result:

So to have highlighting for your text I guess you'll have to dig in that direction ... This is directly implemented on the Morph and not on the Text so it may be a bit difficult to use.

Regards.

Sorry. I was not explicit enough.

We now have a way to set the TextColor of a text. I am looking for a way to do something like this:

aText addAttribute: TextBackgroundColor yellow

Is there something like this implemented for Text?

Cheers,

Doru

Hi,

Does any of you know if there is a way to add a background color to a piece of text?

Cheers,
