Control of the uiButton text font and size (and border control)

[dervur]

I think it would be nice to have control of the uiButton text and size I just noticed that this is probably the only modulator that does not allow this, even the uiImageButton allows it.

I think even control of the borders would be nice, I think this might've been possible at a certain point? Because in another panel I have a uiButton that doesn't have rounded edges but squared one, and it seemed there I even changed the colour of the border of the button. I can't remember how I did it, but if I copy paste that one in new panels it appears correctly. So I don't know if some properties just disappeared... Or I simply forgot how to do this...

If somebody wants to change font and size of the text of button, what I'm doing right now is using a label to create the frame of the button, and then use an image button with no image loaded on top of it to give text to the empty uiLabel. It is not perfect (for example you can't change colour of the button when on and off unless you change the uiLabel appearance via lua for the states of the button) but it works.

I did not even noticed it because I mostly use uiImageButton.
It's missing from the JUCE 5 to 6 update. (Ctrlr v5.6)
I'll add it to the issue list for CtrlrX

Thanks

Now, the buttons have LookAndFeel_V4 by default and some parameters won't apply to all LnF versions.
Some parameters should work on certain styles but not for all like corners etc it was for LnF_V3 and V2.

Can you please try using LookandFeel_V3 ? text colour should change :

[damiensellier]

I jut tried and colours for both text and button are working for LnF_V4 and older versions
to remove the rounded corners the properties "Connected Left" etc are also working on all versions.

I'll try to add a way to change the text value and font if you want.

CtrlrX Issue is there : damiensellier#71

Hi Damien, thank you very much! Yeah changing text values and font would be nice to allow for extra flexibility

Even if I understand the request and also agree it would make Ctrlr more complete, I would have never prioritized this CR.
I think that we should in fact only have uiImageButton.
There are tons of ways to just create a two (or more) states button with text. From using Powerpoint up to using Jknobman or full image processor like Paintshop Pro or Photoshop.
For such basic button, Powerpoint is perfect and fast. just need to make a screenshot and adjust the frames of each button states

Anyway, as usual, thx Damien for this improvement!
