Change button or label text color in kivy
kivy, python
Solution
Use `color` (all lowercase):
<RootLayout>:
rows: 1
Label:
text: "Why does this not work?"
color: 1,0,1,1 # <-----------
canvas.before:
Color:
rgba: 0, 0, 0, 1
Rectangle:
pos: self.pos
size: self.size
Problem
I'm following this kivy book, and while I can understand how to change the background color of buttons, I haven't found the keyword to change the text color. I saw this and other questions. Here's my code: ``` #!/usr/bin/kivy import kivy kivy.require('1.7.2') from random import random from kivy.app import App from kivy.uix.widget import Widget from kivy.uix.gridlayout import GridLayout from kivy.graphics import Color, Ellipse, Rectangle class MinimalApp(App): title = 'My App' def build(self): root = RootLayout() return(root) class RootLayout(GridLayout): pass if __name__ == '__main__': MinimalApp().run() ``` and in the .kv file: ``` #:kivy 1.7.2 #:import kivy kivy <RootLayout>: rows: 1 Label: text: "Why does this not work?" # rgba: 1,0,1,1 # doesn't work # Color: # doesn't work # rgba: 1,0,1,1 # doesn't work # font_color: rgba: 1,0,1,1 canvas.before: Color: rgba: 0, 0, 0, 1 Rectangle: pos: self.pos size: self.size ```
