Can we style dialog boxes?
Is it possible to make custom dialogs which have a very distinct style from the ones in the samples? I'm in the process of rolling my own and want to check before I get too far into that.

Here is an example of how I've set a button group in a dialog. Hopefully this is what you are looking for:
The code defines a dialog control in the XML:
<Dialog
id="ControlDialog"
visible="false"
/>
Then in the brs file, it accesses the control, creates a group of buttons and sets the focus bitmap:
m.top.ControlDialog = m.top.findNode("ControlDialog")
m.top.ControlDialog.buttonGroup.buttons = [tr("BUTTON1"), tr("BUTTON2"), tr("BUTTON3")]
m.top.ControlDialog.buttonGroup.focusBitmapUri="pkg:/images/Button_Blue_HD.9.png"
RobMichThank you for your response, It's working. Is it possible to change the focused text color?. I tried with "focusedTextColor" like below. But no luck.
' optiondialog.focusedTextColor = "0xFFFFFFFF" 'nonexistent field ' optiondialog.ButtonGroup.focusedTextColor = "0xFFFFFFFF"
For the keyboard dialog box, the "focusedKeyColor" field is Works. But, It's only available for alphabet and digit. Is there any option available for focused text color in the dialog box?

I have not experimented with this setting, but according to the documentation, the focusedTextColor field on the buttongroup should be working.
optiondialog.ButtonGroup.focusedTextColor = "0xFFFFFFFF"
Are you using a custom font for the button text? That could be causing it not to work.
No, I don't use Custom Font. I tried the same as per Document mention. My Example is here. But no luck.
I managed to make this by using a darker white
dialog.buttonGroup.textColor = "0xFFFFFFFF" dialog.buttonGroup.focusedTextColor = "0xDDD9D7FF". 'darker white (shows as white)
hope it helps
