Toggle Fill missing?

I am using a toggle in a gallery to show the status. I have been able to set the color of the toggle "button" based on its true or false value. However, I am setting the background of the gallery's currently selected row to dark gray. This makes the background fill around the text dark gray as well. I want the background around the text to be white at all times. See me screen shot below. The first two are not selected, the third one is. It makes the text hard to read. Wouldn't this normally be the "Fill" property? I don't have a "Fill". I have TrueFill and FalseFill which sets the color or the toggle button.

Am I mising where to set this?

@TMLyes, it does not have a fill property to it like you suggest.
One workaround is to put a rectangle shape underneath it and set its fill to white. That will always give you a white background to that toggle.

Hi TML,

The Toggle control doesn't have a standard Fill property that I'm aware of.
The easiest way to achieve the effect you're looking for is to insert a rectangle icon, make it white and place it just behind the toggle control.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Randy & Russel... I should have thought of that myself. Seems weird that every control under the sun has a fill but not the toggle. It even has a "HandleFill" which is the round circle that slides left and right.

I know what you mean...seems like they didn't expose that one.

The GOOD news is that you can now use Components and create your own control that would have a White shape under a Toggle control. Expose whatever properties you want and then reuse it in your App without having to add a bunch of shapes to all your toggles. Definite "Like" for Components (even though still experimental).
