Binding color to image in widget

I am trying to change the color of a image in a widget. I bind the image color and opacity to a linear variable but the color does not change when the variable does.

is there some step I am missing?

  1. create image
  2. size as needed
  3. goto graph create variable (linear color)
  4. set linear variable to a color
  5. go back to designer
  6. select image
  7. bind on color and opacity -> select linear variable from drop down under properties

nothing changes

This is still an issue in 4.10
I tried both Linear and Slate colors, and nothing happens.

Well, give me an Image of your Widget, the Binding, etc. Maybe one of you skipped a step or misunderstood something. As far as i remember,
i had no problems changing image colors.

Scratch that, it does work.
But I am not binding it though, I am simply calling Set Color and Opacity from BP.
Weird… anywhooo…

There might be an issue with renaming the output “ReturnValue” . If you change the output text to read something else such as “ReturnColorValue” it causes issues (for whatever reason).
