Menus - change window background onFocus

[guiismiti]

Hello again
Like the title says, I'm trying to change the background of a menu window onFocus.

I did it successfully by making two windows - unfocus_window and focus_window, with the desired background colors.
Then I used onFocus in the text that is over the window:


onFocus
{
hide unfocus_window;
play "mouse_over";
show focus_window;
}


The only problem I have is how to change the color back "onUnFocus".

How can I do it?



Edit: I'm not sure if there is an easier way, but I'm going to create a button under the window which is slightly bigger, and I'm gonna use onFocus on it.

Edit #2: It works :)
If there is an easier way than this workaround, please let us know.
Here is the code:


itemDef
{
name "unfocus_window"
style WINDOW_STYLE_FILLED
rect 275 375 90 30
backcolor 0.2 0.8 0.2 .3
border 1
bordercolor 1 0.5 0 1
visible 1
decoration
}

itemDef
{
name "focus_window"
style WINDOW_STYLE_FILLED
rect 275 375 90 30
backcolor 1 0.6 0.3 .3
border 1
bordercolor 0 1 0 1
visible 1
decoration
}

itemDef
{
name "button_unfocus"
type ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
style WINDOW_STYLE_EMPTY
rect 265 365 110 50
textalign ITEM_ALIGN_CENTER
visible 1
onFocus
{
hide focus_window;
show unfocus_window;
}
}

itemDef
{
name "button_reg"
text "text here"
type ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
style WINDOW_STYLE_EMPTY
textstyle ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
rect 275 375 90 30
textalign ITEM_ALIGN_CENTER
textscale GLOBAL_TEXT_SIZE
textalignx 45
textaligny 25
forecolor GLOBAL_UNFOCUSED_ORANGE
visible 1
textfont UI_FONT_NORMAL
action
{
play "mouse_click";
}
onFocus
{
hide unfocus_window;
play "mouse_over";
show focus_window;
}
}

Don't forget to hide focus_window when opening the menu, so, on menuDef:


onOpen
{
hide focus_window;
show unfocus_window;
}

You could also do it like this:



mouseEnter
{
setItemColor "some_item" forecolor 1 1 1 1
}
mouseExit
{
setItemColor "some_item" forecolor 1 1 1 0
}

Thank you izno.
I got it working like this:


mouseEnter
{
setItemColor "window_name" backcolor 1 0.6 0.3 .3;
setItemColor "window_name" bordercolor 0 1 0 1;
}
mouseExit
{
setItemColor "window_name" backcolor 0.2 0.8 0.2 .3;
setItemColor "window_name" bordercolor 1 0.5 0 1;
}

Dont mind me, just silently cursing at myself for adding borders to my menus manually for years now.
