I'm trying to match my GeUserArea color to the current interface color.
I've tried:
color = c4d.GeGetGray()
self.background_color = Vector(color['x'] / 255.0, color['y'] / 255.0, color['z'] / 255.0)
and
colid = c4d.VIEWCOLOR_C4DBACKGROUND
self.background_color = c4d.GetViewColor(colid)
...but neither one matches.
How do you get it?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
GeGetGray() returns the default Cinema gray color. It's not meant for the GUI but for bitmaps, materials, textures i.e. rendering.
GetViewColor() returns only colors for the viewport system.
To get a GUI color from inside a GeUserArea call self.GetColorRGB() with the color ID to retrieve e.g. c4d.COLOR_BG for the background color of Cinema interface. Note the returned value is a dict so you have to build a color vector and divide each value by 255.0 as you have done in your GeGetGray() example.
In Init():
bg = self.GetColorRGB(c4d.COLOR_BG)
self.backcolor = c4d.Vector(bg['r']/255.0, bg['g']/255.0, bg['b']/255.0)
In DrawMsg():
self.DrawSetPen(self.backcolor)
