Been trying to set the color of a panel to the color of the open folder for a while now but keep getting a null pointer exception on the commit.. Any body have any ideas???
var event = LL.getEvent();
var desktop = event.getContainer();
var flds = LL.getOpenFolders();
var fldLen = flds.getLength();
if (fldLen > 0) {
var fld3 = flds.getAt(0);
var editor = fld3.getProperties().edit();
var box = editor.getBox(“f.box”);
var editor2 = desktop.getProperties().edit();
var box2 = editor2.getBox(“f.box”);
var color = box.getColor(“c”, “n”);
box2.setColor(“c”, “n”, color);
editor2.commit();
}

This is getting called from the panels position Changed event if that helps…
And color is getting a value of -9961581

Might also be able to get by if I can change wallpaper tint via script… Anyone know if that’s possible?

You get the color from the PropertyEditor?
Edit: try to use base 16 when you write colors, it’s easier to understand when one reads
Are you sure event.getContainer() returns valid?
Post more info on the error.

It must be something with the container…. I tried forcing the color to the pure green color in the example at http://www.pierrox.net/android/applications/lightning_launcher/script/reference/net/pierrox/lightning_launcher/script/api/Box.html and still get the error. I can change the folder color fine by using the same call but not the container….
I’m fairly certain its the commit though since I put an alert in the line before and it gets called but then immediately errors.
But again all I get is java.lang.NullPointerException at line ##. Which is no real help.

Try to use bgColor for containers not *f.box*

In fact there are two mistakes.
The first is that you are acting on a Container object, but what you need is to work on the “Panel” object associated with the container. Instead of event.getContainer(); use event.getContainer().getOpener();
That is a bit confusing because from the user menu you see only one object (a panel) whereas in script you have to manipulate two things, a panel and a container.
The other small mistake is the extra use of an editor in “var editor2 = desktop.getProperties().edit();”, just use “var editor2 = desktop.getProperties()”

Pierre Hébert thanks for the help. I did play around with getOpener but the extra .edit stopped me from figuring it out.
I also had to change the second f.box to an i.box… but I finally got it working. Thanks again!
