Table Coloring?

[robertmlinden]

Is there a way to style Tables? There doesn't seem to be documentation for this beta widget.

EDIT: documentation on styling

Specifically, individual table rows. I mean there's highlighting, but there's no custom coloring so far as I can see. I would like to give the table a dark theme with light text, perhaps!

There is a way to do it, using the new 1.0 syntax.

You can set any of: activeFg, inactiveFg, activeBg, inactiveBg:

from appJar import gui 

with gui() as app:
    app.table("g1",
        [["Name", "Age", "Gender"],
        ["Fred", 45, "Male"],
        ["Tina", 37, "Female"],
        ["Clive", 28, "Male"],
        ["Betty", 51, "Female"]],
        inactiveBg='red', inactiveFg='yellow',
        activeBg='blue', activeFg='white'
        )

There are other properties that could be set, they;re just not implemented yet...

Thank you!

[robertmlinden]

Can such properties only be assigned in the table's 1.0 constructor or is there a way to recolour afterwards?

e.g. .setTableActiveFg() (which isn't recognized)
