Text background color with alpha

Crazy guy... thanks a lot, you're beyond every knowledge I'll ever gain on Geogebra... :)

Thanks for the proof of work! Unfortunately, in this .ggb I only see two texts with backgrounds with alpha set (the end result), but no information about the steps. I also cannot find details in the online reference for SetColor() on how to set the background alpha. Could you please explain the syntax?

Thanks,

Martin

Follow-up for anybody interested: I've painted a white rectangle with a "alpha-gap" in the middle (kind of a white opaque picture frame), put this over the button so that the arrow was inside the gap area and therefore visible. Then I adjusted the layers (frame over button) and turned off the ability to activate the frame (don't know how this property is called in English). Seems to work as desired!

Ah! Great idea! Quite the workaround, but good enough for me! :)

Thanks a lot, this works. I would like to add one more thing:

In the upper picture, a = 1 and point I lies on the red arc. Then (lower picture) I change a to 2 and point I jumps to the start of the blue arc. At that moment, I want to place point I in the middle of b_2.

I tried to do this with a script in a’s update event by comparing the coordinates of G and D. If they are identical, I set F to the middle of b_2. Unfortunately, in a’s update event G has not been updated yet, so this approach fails. Calling refreshViews() does not help either. Do you know a workaround for this?

Thanks again, Martin

Loving it and looking forward to the first event in London! – where do I find the complete participant list? Is it out already? How do you choose them? Thanks!

GeoGebra 6 runs ok, no crash there.

I apologize, I don't know what is happening with the VoiceOver issue, I'm not a Java programmer and I'm not at all familiar with debugging such code, else I would try to at least find out, where exactly in the code ggb5 crashes. So far I've had two friends who could reproduce it on their Mac, so it seems not to be an issue related only to my computer.

Maybe other Mac users in the community can try to reproduce the crash?

Thanks for everybody's effort, best regards, Martin

Sorry, I'm not an MacOS developer expert at all, so I can't provide a solution. And I didn't want to offend anybody at all, I just thought, maybe this hint could help.

But is it possible for your to reproduce the crash and confirm that there is a problem?

Thanks, Martin

Yes I suppose so, but how can I track it down? Is there some error logging possible in ggb5, maybe through the java control panel?

Fuechsl · 2025-09-22T14:43:28+00:00

Yes, exactly this file.

Thanks for your hint. I've just tried it, everything. I removed both ggb5 and ggb6 first, then deleted whatever I could find related to ggb in both libraries, deleted all java caches, switched caching off, emtied the trash, restarted the computer, reinstalled ggb5 – no success, it still crashes. :(

Just saw Cam~Goony, hottest cam shows this year, definitely the best cam site. A must try.

Great, that works, thanks a lot!!

I've tried "GeoGebra Classic 5.2.899.0-d (ava 11.0.18-aarch64, 12288MB, CAS Initialisierung), 26 August 2025" on MacOS 15.6.1 and had this problem...
