Button Highlighting Update

Active Button Highlighting Implemented

Added proper visual feedback to show which frame type filter is currently selected.

🎨 Visual Appearance

Active Button (Selected)

  • Background: Blue (#0080ff) - same as the original tab highlighting
  • Text: Bold white text
  • Class: -active CSS class applied

Inactive Buttons

  • Background: Dark gray (#262626)
  • Text: Gray text (#999999)
  • Hover: Lighter blue background on mouse over

Button Layout

[1. Overview]  [2. CH10-Data(1105)]  [3. UDP(443)]  [4. PTP-Signaling(240)]
    ↑ Active      ↑ Inactive          ↑ Inactive      ↑ Inactive

🔧 Implementation Details

Highlighting Logic

  1. Initial State: Overview button starts highlighted (blue background)
  2. Button Click: Clicked button becomes active, others become inactive
  3. Keyboard Navigation: Number key selection updates highlighting
  4. Dynamic Updates: Highlighting preserved when buttons are refreshed

Key Methods Added

  • _update_button_highlighting() - Updates active/inactive state for all buttons
  • Called after button selection, frame type refresh, and initial mount
  • Uses CSS -active class for consistent styling

CSS Classes

#filter-bar Button.-active {
    background: #0080ff;
    text-style: bold;
}

#filter-bar Button {
    background: transparent;
    color: #999999;
}

#filter-bar Button:hover {
    background: #0080ff;
}

Visual Feedback

  • Clear indication of which filter is currently active
  • Consistent styling with the rest of the StreamLens interface

  1. Start: Overview button highlighted in blue
  2. Press 2: CH10-Data button becomes blue, Overview becomes gray

Expected Behavior

  • Active button is clearly highlighted in blue with bold text
  • Only one button highlighted at a time
  • Highlighting updates immediately on selection
