v8.0.2

I’m trying to set a different background colour to a text field on enable/disable, but having two different colours for background and non-editable background does not appear to do anything. Toggling the enabled property (in the designer) does nothing; the background remains the colour of the background fill.

Interestingly, if I set the background fill to a slightly transparent colour, it displays slightly transparent when enabled, but full opacity (same hue) when disabled??

Button appearance is something we’re still ironing out issues with, but should hopefully be improved by a couple of bug fixes related to this (in 8.0.3, naturally).
