Panel background color?

[FedeClaudi]

Hi!

I was wandering if there's a way to set a panel's background color?

I can change the panel's text and edge colors (e.g. see screnshot from knowledgebase), but I haven't found a way to "fill in" the whole panel with color, any suggestions?

Somewhat related, is there an options to have a "transparent" color? Sometimes I use visual elements like panels to make sure things are aligned correctly but I don't want to see the panel. Currently I'm hard coding the panel's edge to match my terminal color but it doesn't sound like a long term solution.

Thanks Will, Rich is so much fun :D

You can set a background color with the style argument on Panel. For example Panel("Hello", style="on blue")

There's no transparent Panel per se. But you could use Padding to create a one cell border around something. For instance Padding(renderable, 1)

Glad you like Rich. You've done some awesome stuff with it lately!

thanks!
the on color option fills in the whole segment taken up by the panel:

I think that makes sense, but it's not what I had in mind, I was trying to get the panels to look like

so only coloring within the edges. I guess that might be very hard to achieve though?

Impossible on a terminal I'm afraid!

thought so, fair enough. Thanks for help anyway :)
