MATLAB Creating Graphical User Interfaces

10 Lay Out a Programmatic UI

Standard Background Color

MATLAB uses the standard system background color of the system on which the UI

is running as the default component background color. This color varies on different

computer systems, e.g., the standard shade of gray on the PC differs from that on UNIX

system, and may not match the default UI background color.

You can make the UI background color match the default component background color.

This code gets the default component background color and assign it to the figure.

defaultBackground = get(groot,'defaultUicontrolBackgroundColor');

fh.Color = defaultBackground;
