Doki theme discussion/support thread

[nopeless]

Hi everyone, a month ago I decided to port Doki theme to MusicBee

This was done out of personal interest as I wanted my music player to have the same theme as my code editor.

I am "releasing" this addon and accepting suggestions for improvement

I am not affiliated with Unthrottled.

Any feedback is appreciated

My suggestion would be to show us a screenshot so we can decide if this is something we want without having to download and install.

I downloaded the files, but there are no xml or xmlc skins in them?
Except for my Cheetah DNA skin that you seem to use as a basis?

There is a lot of javascript stuff in the files.
Is a user supposed to run scripts on his computer to produce functioning skins?

sorry for not replying

Just in case anyone stumbles upon this, you are supposed to download the zip file from the releases tab. the JavaScript code is for generating the themes. apologies

I would still like to see a screenshot before investing any time in this.

8800 posts and bro too lazy to goto the Github. Crazy.

I've opened an issue ticket on github:

TL;DR:
Because of the way MusicBee v3.6 interprets skins (and this seems to be a correction compared with v3.5), one of the colour references must be replaced in all the skins of the package. The corrected versions work with both MB 3.5 and MB 3.6.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The package in version 0.1.3 works fine under MusicBee v3.5, but in v3.6 the Player Panel shows a grey block where the current track title should be visible. This means that the wrong background colour is taken for that area. The precise element concerned is bg within element id="PlayerFlat.DisplayPanel".

CORRECTION TO APPLY
* current state:
element id="PlayerFlat.DisplayPanel" bg="Playerpanel_Controls_Lowlight"
* corrected line:
element id="PlayerFlat.DisplayPanel" bg="Playerpanel_Background"

TESTS
After applying the patch and testing several skins with MB v3.5 and MB v3.6, the corrected skins work fine in both MusicBee versions.
