A GUI button/box to select no shading/background under the main toolbar buttons

[Robert Van Vugt]

#1204639 shows fix committed but no plans for a GUI button/box to select no shading/background under the main toolbar buttons. The fix (manual config.ini modification works well) but what use is it without a way to select it in the GUI? Wishlist item would be to add a GUI button or selection box to be able to turn this on/off.

Thanks

There are a few rarely changed things like colors which are on purpose not settable in the GUI to avoid clickbox clutter. It should be enough if such a setting is documented in the manual/wiki. Few people will want to switch button shading on a daily basis, sounds like a personal preference (one-time setting).

I remember some time ago that a line in the config file could be changed/edited to allow this fix and it worked very well but I can not find that entry to modify. Is it still there? What is the entry called? under what group heading? I have looked thru both config files and see no entry about the shading behind these buttons. Was it removed?

Thanks

gui/flag_show_buttons_background = true or false

Thanks - Seems that flag has been removed but editing it back in still works fine.

Hi Alexander - Once again that GUI flag (gui/flag_show_buttons_background = false in config.ini) is missing from V15.2 Windows x64 release. It still works if I paste the line entry into the config.ini file but why does this keep getting dropped? I highly prefer no shading and I am sure there are others that would like to turn that off if they knew they could. As you say it is an opinion and we all have them LOL.

Thanks
Robert

Alexander - Nice work! Just installed v16.0 and this works very nicely. Love it! Thanks for adding this minor feature.
