Usage

• In the tree view declaration, put options='{"bg_color": "red: customer==True"} attribute in the field tag:

  ...
  <field name="arch" type="xml">
      <tree string="View name">
          ...
          <field name="name" options='{"bg_color": "red: customer == True"}'/>
          ...
      </tree>
  </field>
  ...
  
  With this example, column which renders 'name' field will have its **background** colored in red on customer records.

• In the tree view declaration, put options='{"fg_color": "white:customer == True"}' attribute in the field tag:

  ...
  <field name="arch" type="xml">
      <tree string="View name">
          ...
          <field name="name" options='{"fg_color": "white:customer == True"}'/>
          ...
      </tree>
  </field>
  ...
  
  With this example, column which renders 'name' field will have its **text** colored in white on customer records.

• If you want to use more than one color, you can split the attributes using ‘;’:

options='{"fg_color": "red:red_color == True; green:green_color == True"}'

Example:

...
 <field name="arch" type="xml">
     <tree string="View name">
         ...
         <field name="name" options='{"fg_color": "red:red_color == True; green:green_color == True"}'/>
         ...
     </tree>
 </field>
 ...

• Can use strings too… In the tree view declaration, put options="{'fg_color': 'green:customer_state == \'success\''}" attribute in the field tag:

  ...
  <field name="arch" type="xml">
      <tree string="View name">
          ...
          <field name="name" options="{'fg_color': 'green:customer_state == \'success\''}"/>
          ...
      </tree>
  </field>
  ...

Note that you can use single or normal quotes. If the declaration of the options doesn’t follow the JSON format, the options string will be evaluated using py.eval()

Known issues / Roadmap

• Before version 13.0, this module had a feature allowing to change the color of a line depending on a field, using a colors attribute with the name of the field on the <tree> element. Since 13.0, the colors attribute is no longer in the RelaxNG schema of the tree view, so we can’t use it anymore. This feature has then been dropped, but could be reimplement in another way.

• Since version 17.0 coloring is written into style attribute of (td) element
