Title: Background lines?
Post by: beeing good on August 30, 2012, 01:15:54 AM: Can someone tell me which parameter I need to change to get the lines the same colour?

<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.

For eg, for the MurDusk thing I tried, these are the settings, focus of course being on the bg :

<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Default" bg="40,38,40" fg="200,200,200" />
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Disabled" bg="40,38,40" fg="110,110,110" />

<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.

You have to match those with these entries:

<element id="Content[TrackDetail].Body.Default"
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].Body.Disabled"

For eg:

<element id="Content[TrackDetail].Body.Default" bg="248,250,245" fg="151,136,87" bdr="250,252,248" />
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].Body.Disabled" bg="248,250,245" fg="204,195,156" />

matches with

<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Default" bg="248,250,245" fg="151,136,87" bdr="250,252,248" />
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Disabled" bg="248,250,245" fg="204,195,156" />

Post by: beeing good on August 30, 2012, 02:32:09 PM: lnminente, I don't/can't use that, I tried a few times but I never understood what I was supposed to be doing. I just edit them in wordpad.

I have to say i do recommend spending 10 mins learning to use the dummy skin. If you need help using it just ask here but i think the dummy skin thread is also pretty helpful. For me, once I started using it, it made skinning much much easier.

Post by: beeing good on August 30, 2012, 07:06:38 PM: I just realised that the dummy skin isn't what I was thinking of when I said I found it hard to use, I was thinking of the editor to do xmlc skins. This looks very easy and I didn't know that it existed. Thanks lnminente for providing such a great tool.

I wish we could get a better system of getting skins and how to edit them, loads of links to skins are broken in this forum and the skinning guides are buried. Maybe we should get them all on deviantart or something? If I knew how to do a wiki I would start one to compile all the skinning information.

Post by: Steven on August 30, 2012, 08:15:20 PM: also see RotemK's skinning guides:

i certainly wont have time to document anything more and the information will only improve if people take the initiative themselves to document their experiences with this

Hi,
Any thought to maybe putting a little what you can gather about skins over here on the unofficial wiki?

I have been trying to participate, though very slowly.. but as Silasje1 indicates there.. even a tiny bit helps a lot.. so I am trying to take that to heart.

Post by: beeing good on August 31, 2012, 04:19:25 PM: That's a great idea C. Alexis, I think I will try to get involved. Can the wiki host files? The problem with linking to mediafire etc is that the links don't seem to last very long, having one page where you can see screenshots for all the skins and download it would be ideal.

Post by: Alexis on August 31, 2012, 04:26:09 PM: Very happy to hear....The site hosts the screenshots, so you upload directly to it. You do not need a third party as far as i know.
