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.
