Re: Changing Fonts - "Use Indirection" option

Thu Aug 26, 2021 9:26 am

Hi Catalin,

I still don't get it.
For example, I select a text field in the "MaintenanceTypeDlg" and see, it has text style "use indirection: True" & "IndirectProperty: SubTitleStyle"
If I then go to the font settings and look for the property "SubTitleStyle", I see that the the text style "SubTitle" is used. When I change the color to purple and switch back to the dialogs, the text field remains in the old style, as long as I don't change the "Use Indirection" option to false.

Is this really the desired behavior?

Best regards,
Simon

Hello Simon,

Yes, that is indeed the desired behavior.

As I have explained in my last thread, for different variations of the same theme, the fallback support is used.

If you go to "Themes" page --> "Text Styles" tab --> double click on "Manufacturer" and then click the "Set fallback" hyperlink, the following windows will popup:

Hope things are clearer now! :)
