ui.collection title not showing

[talmazov]

Using the following code self.ui_outline_container = ui.collection(label="Outline Properties", parent = self.main_menu) self.ui_outline_container.builder([...])

does not produce a text label within the UI collection container

sadly, some of the UI collections need some work still. i haven't found a good way to handle it generally, so i might just resort to creating special UI elements. (note: the fns under ui are just factories, building up UI and UI_Proxy objects).

so playing around with ui.py i got collections to show a label but now the text is black and hard to see

here is the code below:

    kw_inside = helper_argsplitter({'children'}, kwargs)
    ui_container = UI_Element(tagName='div', classes='collection', **kwargs)
    ui_label = UI_Element(tagName='label', classes='header', innerText="TEST", parent=ui_container)
    ui_inside = UI_Element(tagName='div', classes='inside', parent=ui_container, **kw_inside)
    ui_proxy = UI_Proxy(ui_container)
    ui_proxy.map(['children','append_child','delete_child','clear_children', 'builder'], ui_inside)
    return ui_proxy

I've been trying to play around with ui_defaultstyles.css but can't seem to get it to work any way to over-ride the text color directly in python might work? suggestions? also noticed the same for input text area, hence why i am inclined to believe it is a CSS issue

you can add style="color:white" as a parameter to the UI_Element(...) call to give ultimate override.

important note: the CSS is handled differently than actual CSS in certain ways. One different way in particular, which might be the problem you're running into, is that addon_common's CSS has no notion of specificity (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity). all conflicting stylings are handled in order, as if there was a !important at the end of each line. eventually I'd like to have specificity. it was too difficult to work in at the moment.

this worked beautifully, thank you! I'll push the label and collection factories to addon_common repo so we can close this issue

Great! We can see if the subtree setup worked appropriately!
