Set programmatically a transparent BG color of indicator

[Gub156]

Hi forum,

I created a csv file where I can set all visual parameters of my GUI (caption, default value, visible, size, colors, ...).

With this file, I also set the forground and background colors, but I don't know how to set a transparent color.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Andrey_Dmitriev,

Thank you for your answer. I tried your solution, but it doesn't work. I can change the background color to transparent, but to get a real transparent indicator, the frame if the indicator needs to be changed as well.

The only way that I found to do this is to use the tools palette and change manually the color of the frame.

This is what I get with your example

And this is what I want:

Why do not use Simple Text indicator from Classic Palette:

You can easily make it "frameless" (see my attachment in previous comment)?
