Background Color Difference of Forms Depending on DefaultMode

Posted on by videnoir83

I have two forms in my app. One form is in DefaultMode.New and the other is in DefaultMode.View. They are both on the same screen next to each other. I want both of their backgrounds to match colors, so they both have the same RGB background color set. When I am designing the app, everything matches and looks great, but when I hit play or test the app live, the form with DefaultMode.New as the setting changes to a slightly darker version of the initial color. What I realized is, this is being caused by the DefaultMode, because when they are both set to new, or both set to view, the colors match. Unfortunately I need them in two different states, with the same color as a background. Is there any way to fix this so there is no color shift depending on mode? It seems this shouldn't happen, and I can't find any setting that addresses this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @videnoir83 ,

There is really no setting or reason for this to happen - what color are you using ?

Hi @videnoir83,

The forms in both states should have the exact same background if they have the same RGBA value defined in the Fill property. The background might differ when no item is found for the view Form - make sure you have a valid record defined in the Item property of this form. This occurs due to a semi transparent grey overlay being shown which indicates that no record was found to display.

Besides the 'No item to display' overlay, I was unable to make the background colors differ between Form states. Should this be the issue, you could show your own 'custom' No item to display pop-up over the View Form when no record is found. (Rectangle with the correct Fill color & a Label; Visible property would be IsBlank(RecordReference) with RecordReference being the value in the View Forms item property)

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.

Thanks!

It seems you were right in that the issue was the View Form didn't have data in it, because it runs through a deep link to grab data from a SharePoint. I retested it live and it appears as normal. Thanks.
