Change Background Color And Text Color of Labels - Python Kivy GUI Tutorial #10

In this video I'll show you how to change the background and text color of Labels with Kivy and Python.

Changing the background color and text color of a Kivy Label is a little more complicated than changing the color of other widgets. We need to set a Canvas and create a rectangle first.

We'll also look at making text bold and italic, as well as giving it a shadow background!

On (what I thought was) a completely different topic... I was trying to get a label to show over top of a background image. It turns out that the only way to do that is to define a canvas.before for the Label and give it a Color and Rectangle.

Every language has its weirdness(es) and this is definitely one for the books.

Thanks again, John. Learning lots.

Hey, pretty cool video again! A few notes - I didn't even know you could mix canvas instructions in the middle like that, and while it's nice, it's more conventional to have your rules be ordered like properties → canvas → children. You added syntax HL, nice! Didn't realize it until it failed on the outline properties for some reason, but it sure makes the code easier to follow! And finally, there's a few more things about colors - first you can use implicit tuples (for colors and size and any tuple), so you can just remove the brackets ; also (and I know it might be overkill in the tutorial), you could use a list comprehension to handle the /255 for you, like "color: [rgba/255 for rgba in (192, 168, 0, 255)]" or something :-)

[randall.chamberlain]

It's easy indeed, but also horrible. No, way around that. I hope it gets redesigned tbh
