Hi,
How can I change a color of a button if a condition is satisfied. For example, "if :item1 is not null" I would like to change a color of a button into red.

Use the SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in, such as

set_item_property('button_item', background_color, 'r100g0b0');

Note that colors have to be set as a reference to an RGB value.

It was a good hint for me. I just adjusted the above command into:

set_item_property('button_item', VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE, 'RED');

and changed Iconic to Yes.

I didn't think it worked for iconic buttons. What you would do there is use a different coloured icon.
