I like this idea with Border but i can’t see my text. I repeated the action on the gif, but maybe smth wrong
Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to change the color or font of the editable text block? I’ve tried working with the styling of the widget, but it just doesn’t work.
I mean without cpp, bp only.
Afaik, this property is not exposed to blueprints dynamically (either by omission or some nefarious purpose…). As in, BPs cannot directly set the colour of the Editable Text widget run-time (you can outside of PIE, ofc). So you need a workaround, pick one:
- wrap the Editable Text in a user widget - this way the parent can directly manipulate the slot via
Set Color and Opacity. This may be useful if you want the text to handle some logic. Otherwise go for the next option… - wrap the Editable Text in a border with a transparent brush, this way the border can set the
Content Color and Opacityof its child, as in:
In this case, you will be modifying the Content of the border that holds the text, rather than text itself. It works well enough, though.

What is the border’s Content color set to? The opacity there has to be 1.0; 0.0 for the brush.
Perhaps you forgot to set default text?
Is it possible to remove the border’s colored background when selecting text by mouse cursor?
Not sure what you mean, if you make the border brush’s opacity 0.0, then you can’t see the border:
