Textbox has no background color in Matlab 2014b (and higher)

Hi,

I just updated a plot to run on Matlabs new graphics engine but I can not manage to change background color of a textbox. It stays transparent all the time.

In MATLAB 2014a it worked finde to call e.g.

set (hVertStopMarkers(k),'BackgroundColor','green')

but in MATLAB 2015a the exat same command does not change anything. The background stays transparent. Im able to switch other things like fontsize using

set (hVertStartMarkers(k),'FontSize',10)

How can I access and change background color now?

Thanks!

Hi

What happens is you execute the following code?

 figure;
h = uicontrol('Style','edit');
set(h,'BackgroundColor','green');

Does that work?

Yes. For a seperated plot like the example above this is working.

I would love to give a small example of my code but I cant. The problem is that the GUI I'm working with is pretty complex. One can add and remove different timeseries from different datasets, edit and cut, resample, compare again... ect. So it's hard to extract a small example.

Anyway. In MATLAB 2014a the background color of the textbox was as I wanted.. Any Ideas what I could try?
