OS Win10 PsychoPy version 2021.1.2 Standard Standalone? (y/n) Y What are you trying to achieve?:
I’m building a word-by-word self paced reading task. Followed by comprehension Qs the answers of which has to be typed (used editable textbox). I want to change the color of the SPR in this flow. Only.
What did you try to make it work?:
I searched in the discourse and found this:
so I clicked on the tools, screen,
and tried playing with numbers, like -1, -1, -1. It did change the color to a black background with a white-colored text but for the whole project. What I wanted to change was the background color of the SPR to white with a black text. oh and I tried this:
This was very confusing happy-go-luckily, I was changing colors and then there was no ok to save the changes! What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
Moreover, I asked a friend who had changed colors for her experiment and she told me to insert polygons! Crazy, but I tried that too. I inserted a white rectangle Pos 2, 2; It did change the background color of the SPR to white but the text was also white. So it was like a blank page.
I know there must be a better way.
I appreciate any help in advance
Do you mean that you want to change the background just for one routine? If so then you can add a Code component with win.fillColor = "white" in Begin Routine and win.fillColor = "grey" in End Routine, as win is the name PsychoPy gives to the window.
Ah my mistake, I was thinking in terms of polygons - for window it’s just win.color not win.fillColor. You may also want to add win.clear() and win.flip() after it in the Begin Routine tab to make sure it applies.
Dear @TParsons,
hi
My question is in reference what we discussed earlier about color. Today, I pushed my experiment to Pavlovia and I receive this error:
ReferenceError: win is not defined
I assume it’s related to color, but I don’t know how to solve it. I’ll appreciate any helpful comment of yours.
happy-go-luckily, I was changing colors and then there was no ok to save the changes!
