Hello all,

Is it possible to change the text colour of a checkbox item, nUICheckboxButton?

It works with Phoney but appears to be ignored on Android (renders white text no matter what colour is set using setTextColor).

I would need dark text colour since I have light-coloured background.

Kind Regards,  
Andrey Lazarov

Hi Andrey,

I believe you should be able to do this, but I haven’t checked all the implementations. If it’s not functionality correctly, this sounds like a bug. Is this something that’s needed urgently?

Regards,

Nick.

Hi Andrey,

I was looking at something similar to this issue today and can confirm that you should be able to do this. Expect a fix for Android with the next internal update.
