If I go into a folder’s preferences then the content has a certain normal color. When I go into the layout mode of the same folder, the color is different.
I need to make this background color dynamic and I would use the box property with a variable, but then the material effect of the icons disappear. This does not seem right since no settings of the icons are being modified.
If this is indeed how it is intended to function, then I’ll have to modify the content normal color preference setting for each folder I wish to make dynamic in this way.
The “normal color” in the second image is what will be applied by default to every item in that folder. In this case, each item in that folder has a transparent box. If you wanted to give each item a windows-tile-like box, you would set it to something other than transparent, and set the margins higher than 0.
Thanks for taking the time to clarify David Sprinkle. I ended up figuring that out the loooong way. Lolz!🙈
The only thing I was actually trying to do all along was to change the normal color of the folders in a panel to match the color of the page I am on (music/news/weather etc.)
I forgot I could just use the folder box property to make it dynamic. Oh well, that’s how we learn.
Oh in the 2nd paragraph I just mean that I can open the item (in this case a folder’s icon) in edit mode > add a box binding and enter “cn:”+$some_variable and then the content normal color property would be dynamic. But the thing I was missing all the time was that a folder has 2 box properties -> one for the icon that opens it and one for the folder container.

I don’t do a whole lot with code, and don’t exactly understand your second and third paragraphs. I wish I could help more there.

The 3rd paragraph was just me overcomplicating shit like I usually do because I tend to over-analyze stuff. Lolz
