Default Icon for Toggle action: question.

Hi !

When i customize a toolbar and add a text icon which inhibits a Toggle action, one would assume that the text icon also toggles, so lighting up with one click on it and becoming faint when again a click on it.

But this does not happen, so the toggle status is not visible in the text icon.

Is this normal behaviour ?

Any specific toggle action which won't show the state in the text button? The ones I have on my toolbars work.

Thx for coming back at me Breeder !

Example:

I have "Toggle free item positioning" assigned to a Text Button.
When i click that button, it just lights up a split second and then goes faint again.
Also, i have also assigned a custom keycommand to that action.
When i do that keycommand on my computer keyboard, the action IS exectuted but the Text Button just stays faint, no lighting up, even not in a split second.

I use latest pre-release of Reaper - 64bit.
OSX 10.9.4
Rado Theme (maybe this is the culprit ??)

EDIT: Just tested with default Reaper 4.0 Theme: same issue.

Yep, doesn't report the toggle state here either. Not OS specific I gather, Win8.1 here. Also, it doesn't matter if this action is set for a text icon or with icon image, same deal. There seem to (still) be some toggle actions which don't show the state, this is not the only one. Can be armed with the right click though.

Shoot, Breeder.

Well, it most probably has never worked like that and might not even been intended to work? I mean, if and when free item positioning is per track, it would require a bit more processing from the engine to acknowledge what are you doing and where, and then changing the button state accordingly. I believe there are some other toggles like that too, where the state shown would not match everything you can actually do, so it is not shown at all.
