Layout background about kivybits HOT 6 CLOSED

The Layout classes are all subclasses of the Widget. Would it not make more sense to add this to the Widget docs as it would apply to more than just Layouts? I hesitate add a background property as these classes are deliberately kept very minimal....

I dont know where to put it properly so widget might be a good place.

"as these classes are deliberately kept very minimal...." it is a frequently asked question how to give it a background so i guess... also you could then maybe remove the background from other subclasses if this does not cause incompatiblity. About the minimal thing maybe you talk to some other maintainer. Maybe if its kept minimal for readability you could append it in some way i am not sure what the sense behind this is.

As the method works on all widgets, I agree it's the place.

In terms of background, a lot of the other widgets have "background_up", "background_down" etc. so it might be hard unifying them. It might be ambitious (still just getting into kivy code), but I'll do some grepping and see how many widget share it.;-)

Thanks

I suggest the background overwrites the default up an down when the up and down is not specified, The widgets that have up and down just keep it.

Oh and an example maybe helps me but it helps not improving kivy.
