An Example

To make a colour change, you need to edit the configuration file, UniqueBible/config.py.

1. Make sure you quit UniqueBible app first before you edit the configuration file "config.py".

2. Locate the following default values in the file "config.py"

materialIconMaskColor = '#e7e7e7'
maskBackground = True
pushButtonBackgroundColor = '#e7e7e7'
pushButtonForegroundColor = 'black'
pushButtonBackgroundColorHover = '#f8f8a0'
pushButtonForegroundColorHover = 'black'
pushButtonBackgroundColorPressed = '#a2a934'
pushButtonForegroundColorPressed = 'white'

3. The following modification changes the icon background colour to black and foreground colour to red:

materialIconMaskColor = 'red'
maskBackground = False
pushButtonBackgroundColor = 'black'
pushButtonForegroundColor = 'red'

Graphical User Interface GUI

You can edit the settings via a GUI dialog available in Material menu layout:

UniqueBible > UBA Preferences > General > Button Colour Customisation

Select the button on the left side to change each colour setting.

You can select a colour simply with a mouse click or enter manually if you know actually what you want.
