Can't set background color of Window on Mac

Here's the code which works fine on PC

def __init__(self, parent, id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent,-1,
"VueToolbar",(-1,-1),(130,tFrameHeight+tYIncrement),wx.FRAME_TOOL_WINDOW|wx.STAY_ON_TOP|wx.CAPTION|wx.CLOSE_BOX|wx.SYSTEM_MENU)

        gBackgroundColor = wx.Colour(64,64,64)
        self.SetBackgroundColour(gBackgroundColor)

Any reason it doesn't work on Mac? Thanks anyone for help on this.

best, Chipp

Hi Chipp,

Here's the code which works fine on PC

def __init__(self, parent, id):
       wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent,-1,
"VueToolbar",(-1,-1),(130,tFrameHeight+tYIncrement),wx.FRAME_TOOL_WINDOW|wx.STAY_ON_TOP|wx.CAPTION|wx.CLOSE_BOX|wx.SYSTEM_MENU)

       gBackgroundColor = wx.Colour(64,64,64)
       self.SetBackgroundColour(gBackgroundColor)

Any reason it doesn't work on Mac? Thanks anyone for help on this.

That's because wx.Frame doesn't support this on Mac (because the underlying native control doesn't). But what you can do is create a wx.Panel to the Frame, call SetBackgroundColour on that panel, then add the frame's children to the panel instead. This should give you the same results and work cross-platform.

Regards,

Kevin
