Hi community members,  
Here I am again with a question.  
I did not do anything with Glide since January this year, because of serious health issues.  
But for the last 3-4 weeks, I am trying to pick things up again.  
I started a new project and I am working on re-creating a Classic app into the New app.  
Many things have changed and sometimes disappeared.  
Now I trying to make the button bar in the new app.  
In the “Classic”, you had several options to “color” a button.  
Things like success (green), or danger (red), or just default.  
In the “New”, you don’t have this.  
It is either blue or white.  
Is this correct or am I missing something?

In my old app, I had a menu called “Measurements”  
In here I had 4 buttons  
Each button I had given a different color.  
Now I also tried to do this in the new app, but I am not able to give the buttons colors.  
For this, I had an option sheet.  
In the I gave the name of the button, a number, and a color.  
The number I used in the custom action, so would go to the correct screen.  
With just the word of a color, I gave the button a color.  
One time I saw a YouTube video on how to do this, so I followed the steps and it worked.  
But not in the “New” app  
For now, I just use the menu option at the bottom of the screen, but I was just wondering if this kind of thing would still be working or not.

I know. Sometimes to move forward, you will lose some things.  
There is not much we can do about it.  
We just need to find other ways to make things work 🙂

Yes: accent or white only.

Try to use template column to add some colored emoji to the button’s name. Or just add emoji( 🟡🟢🔴⚪🔵🟤🟠⚫) to button name

Also you can use horizontal collection

or you can use custom collection with rich text component

All of this is clickable and can be assigned to action

But actually, all of this looks not so good on mobile view.

And only way is to use CSS on paid plan.
