Is there a way to change the colours which Thunkable uses to display disabled components?

I have a button on the screen which is disabled and the colours clash with the rest of my app. Is there a way to change the colour palette?

I don’t think so.

Hi there,

It’s not possible to change the default disabled color scheme, but you can create your own look for a component to be enabled/disabled in blocks.

In these sample blocks, I have a `disable button` function which changes the background color of a Button and sets a variable called `isButtonDisabled` to `true`. I also have an `enable button` function which changes the background color of the Button and sets `isButtonDisabled` to `false`.

When I click the Button, its blocks will only execute if `isButtonDisabled` is `false`.

You can use something like this in your own app to create exactly the design and functionality you want for your components as you enable and disable them!
