I am having a strange issue in Kivy where a button's background_normal and background_down values are being set to a directory path which is 'images/icons/software_icon.jpg' however when my program is started, the image is not displayed and I am given the basic grey box that Kivy buttons default to. My guess is that Kivy is not finding the image in the directory I've given it however I have ensured that the image is in the correct directory. This method has worked with all my other buttons in my code so I'm not sure what's going on. Here is my code:
Button:
id: power_button
text: ''
background_normal: 'images/icons/power_icon.jpg'
background_down: 'images/icons/power_icon.jpg'
center_x: 1520
center_y: 120
texture: self.texture
height: 50
width: 50
opacity: 0
disabled: True
on_press:
root.powerOff()
Button:
id: settings_button
text: ''
background_normal: 'images/icons/settings_icon.jpg'
background_down: 'images/icons/settings_icon.jpg'
center_x: 1520
center_y: 190
texture: self.texture
height: 50
width: 50
opacity: 0
disabled: True
on_press:
pass
Button:
id: os_button
text: ''
background_normal: 'images/icons/software_icon.jpg'
background_down: 'images/icons/software_icon.jpg'
center_x: 1520
center_y: 260
texture: self.texture
height: 50
width: 50
opacity: 0
disabled: True
on_press:
pass
The output: image of the issue
Any ideas as to what I should do now?
I found the solution! I'm still unclear as to why this made any difference but I am not complaining. Anyways here is the newly updated code for the button in the .kv file:
Button:
id: os_button
text: ''
center_x: 1910
center_y: 260
texture: self.texture
height: 50
width: 50
opacity: 0
disabled: True
on_press:
pass
Image:
source: 'images/icons/soft_icon.jpg'
size: os_button.size
pos: os_button.pos
So just adding the Image attribute instead of the background_normal and background_down attributes cleared up the issue. Hopefully this helps anyone having the same issue in the future!
New result: FINAL RESULT
