color the names of groups/frames/packages etc on a case by

Question

I know how to use skinparams to change colours on lots of thnigs, but I'd like to be able to use dark colours for backgrounds (which means I want white fonts) on a case by case basis. E.g. in the following sarah works coz the color is light and black fonts work, but fred does not because I haven't found out how to color the font of the name of the group (i.e. "fred") white. The syntax I have below is what I would use to do this with an actual activity, but I can't do it on the group ... (and i'd like to be able to do it on other diagram types and containers too).

group january {
   group #darkgreen:<color:white> fred {
     :does x;
   }
   group #azure sarah {
     :does y;
   } 

}

}

Answer 1

Hello B.,

You were almost there; Here is a possible solution:

group january {
   group #darkgreen <color:white>fred {
     :does x;
   }
   group #azure sarah {
     :does y;
   } 
}

And FYI, the form:

• #[color|back:color];header:color;line:color;line.[bold|dashed|dotted];text:color

is only available for Class diagram or Deployment diagram, (not yet for Activity diagram).

Later you can use style.

Enjoy,
Regards,
Th.
