Input Button Coloring

[Deus X Machina]

Hi!

I am quite new to MapTool, and I am trying to find my way into the program and make some ease of life macros at first.
Also, I am quite adept at programming, if I find the right commands.

What I want to do:
I want to create a Frame / Dialog, where The Light Sources for a Token can be toggled. For that, I want the Buttons to be colored, dependant on, if they are lit at the moment, or not.

What I managed:
I created a frame, it has two buttons (Torch / Candle), and when I use a button it displays a small text corresponding to the light source, for proof to me, that the macro chooses the right programming path.

What I can't find out:
How can I color the input buttons in the frame?
I found solutions to color macro buttons, but no solution how to color the input buttons.
Is there a way? If yes, which is it?

What i tried:
I tried the html commands for the coloring, in some variations:
<input type="submit" name="Light_Source" value="Torch" color=Black>
<input type="submit" name="Light_Source" value="Torch" color="Black">
<input type="submit" name="Light_Source" value="Torch" color=#FFFFFF>
<input type="submit" name="Light_Source" value="Torch" color="#FFFFFF">

I hope you can help me, or at can tell me that there is no way, so I know I can stop that path of thinking.


Very nice Tool, as far as i can see for now, and really nice possibilities to adapt it to different uses.

You can't. You could crate virtual buttons though. Check out my bag of truck to see what I mean

Thanks for the definitive reply.
I checked out the virtual buttons, those look good.
Either I use those, or I try to go directly for imagebuttons.

Thanks for the help.
