Theme Property Descriptions

Color font_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 1) 🔗

Default text Color of the LinkButton.

Color font_disabled_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is disabled.

Color font_focus_color = Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is focused. Only replaces the normal text color of the button. Disabled, hovered, and pressed states take precedence over this color.

Color font_hover_color = Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being hovered.

Color font_hover_pressed_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being hovered and pressed.

Color font_outline_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1) 🔗

The tint of text outline of the LinkButton.

Color font_pressed_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being pressed.

int outline_size = 0 🔗

The size of the text outline.

Note: If using a font with FontFile.multichannel_signed_distance_field enabled, its FontFile.msdf_pixel_range must be set to at least twice the value of outline_size for outline rendering to look correct. Otherwise, the outline may appear to be cut off earlier than intended.

int underline_spacing = 2 🔗

The vertical space between the baseline of text and the underline.

Font font 🔗

Font of the LinkButton‘s text.

int font_size 🔗

Font size of the LinkButton‘s text.

StyleBox focus 🔗

StyleBox used when the LinkButton is focused. The focus StyleBox is displayed over the base StyleBox, so a partially transparent StyleBox should be used to ensure the base StyleBox remains visible. A StyleBox that represents an outline or an underline works well for this purpose. To disable the focus visual effect, assign a StyleBoxEmpty resource. Note that disabling the focus visual effect will harm keyboard/controller navigation usability, so this is not recommended for accessibility reasons.
