Looking for Element(s)

[phred]

The skin.xml that was used as a basis came from me, and I can pretty much vouch that the order of all elements is functioning correctly.

Hopefully I am not adding to any confusion, but if from the skin you uploaded, all you change is to disable (or remove) "Toolbar.MenuTextOverride", isn't that what you are trying to achieve?

You didn't add to the confusion at all.  AAMOF, you solved the problem.  I didn't even think to look for an existing override.  But once I commented it out, I had what I wanted.

Thank you both for the guidance.

Glad it's resolved.

But bee-liever mentioned exactly that one before, and you responded (post #4) that it didn't work.
I couldn't believe that. It probably didn't work then because you had changed some other stuff too while experimenting.

Btw I really like the way your skin is developing.

I think what I did was change the override to 255,255,255 and it didn't work.  It never occurred to me to comment it out.

Despite the alternating color bars, eh?  :-)
Thanks very much.
If you haven't looked at the "no cover artwork" graphic, you should.
I'd like to say I'm done with it now, but as I'm sure you know, there's always something else popping up that needs a tweak.

Yeah, that's one of the funniest no-artworks I've seen.

My original 'Outlook' was more about mimicking MS Outlook 2010, including some gradients, linings, and more whites.
Your 'Lookout' mod is more contemporary, going towards the 'metro' look which seems quite popular here.

(still hate the alternates though ;-)

I just knew you'd like it.

If it's leaning towards Metro, then it's just a coincidence as I just used colors that go well together and that I like.  I definitely removed a lot of the whites in favor of more blues.

Yeah, well...

I'm trying to find the background element shown in phred's screenshot (highlight is controlled by Menu.CommandButton.Selected) and also the separator below it.

[Bee-liever]

The bg should be from
<element id="Toolbar.Body" bg="XXX"
and the line underneath should be
<element id="MenuBarSeparator" bg="XXX" />

@Bee-liever
Thanks, that was driving me crazy.
