Property Descriptions

String language = ""

  • void set_language ( String value )

  • String get_language ( )

Language code used for line-breaking and text shaping algorithms, if left empty current locale is used instead.


StructuredTextParser structured_text_bidi_override = 0

Set BiDi algorithm override for the structured text.


Array structured_text_bidi_override_options = []

  • void set_structured_text_bidi_override_options ( Array value )

  • Array get_structured_text_bidi_override_options ( )

Set additional options for BiDi override.


String text = ""

The button's text that will be displayed inside the button's area.


TextDirection text_direction = 0

Base text writing direction.


UnderlineMode underline = 0

The underline mode to use for the text. See UnderlineMode for the available modes.


String uri = ""

The URI for this LinkButton. If set to a valid URI, pressing the button opens the URI using the operating system's default program for the protocol (via OS.shell_open). HTTP and HTTPS URLs open the default web browser.

Examples:

uri = "https://godotengine.org"  # Opens the URL in the default web browser.
uri = "C:\SomeFolder"  # Opens the file explorer at the given path.
uri = "C:\SomeImage.png"  # Opens the given image in the default viewing app.

Theme Property Descriptions

Color font_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 1)

Default text Color of the LinkButton.


Color font_disabled_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1)

Text Color used when the LinkButton is disabled.


Color font_focus_color = Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1)

Text Color used when the LinkButton is focused. Only replaces the normal text color of the button. Disabled, hovered, and pressed states take precedence over this color.


Color font_hover_color = Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1)

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being hovered.


Color font_hover_pressed_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1)

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being hovered and pressed.


Color font_outline_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)

The tint of text outline of the LinkButton.


Color font_pressed_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being pressed.


int outline_size = 0

The size of the text outline.

Note: If using a font with FontFile.multichannel_signed_distance_field enabled, its FontFile.msdf_pixel_range must be set to at least twice the value of outline_size for outline rendering to look correct. Otherwise, the outline may appear to be cut off earlier than intended.


int underline_spacing = 2

The vertical space between the baseline of text and the underline.


Font font

Font of the LinkButton's text.


int font_size

Font size of the LinkButton's text.


StyleBox focus

StyleBox used when the LinkButton is focused. The focus StyleBox is displayed over the base StyleBox, so a partially transparent StyleBox should be used to ensure the base StyleBox remains visible. A StyleBox that represents an outline or an underline works well for this purpose. To disable the focus visual effect, assign a StyleBoxEmpty resource. Note that disabling the focus visual effect will harm keyboard/controller navigation usability, so this is not recommended for accessibility reasons.
