What you need in the third line with adjusted colors are elements starting with "PlayerSidebar" which you can find from "Skinning Elements" page (http://musicbee.wikia.com/wiki/Skinning_Elements) on the wiki (I know you only asked about side player background color, but if that changes player controls colors need to change as well).

What do you mean?
The guide is about creating an xml file to override either xml or xmlc skin without opening them.

hi
i want to edit the skin not create a new one
thanks

Of course. But you can't open the xmlc file with text editor, right? That's why you need to create an xml file to override the original skin. That's not creating a new skin but a way to tweak existing skins without source files.

hi
could you make just an example ?
skin stealandbee

the skin is located here musicbee\Skins\Neutral\
i want to change the yellow and main color skin
the original yellow is f8c958
and the main skin is 929292

my new color are yellow will be black 000000 and the main skin will be darker and will be 747474 (red 116 - green 116-blue116

ok i create with notpad++ a file callled SteelAndBee.xml

sould be

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root dependsOn="SteelAndBee.xmlc">
<element id="Player.Backgroundr" bg="0,0,0" fg="0,0,0" bdr="0,0,0" />
<element id="main color ?"  bg="116,116,116" fg="116,116,116" bdr="116,116,116" />

</root>

can find the skin color main but is it correct?

thanks

Yes, something like that, only with the right element name. But do not use the same name as the original skin since the skin list in MB menu doesn't show file extension.

hi
but is there an example?

and why the  i have to use a different name ? inside the skin folder they have the same name but with xmp extension (this should change the skin ,right?)

thanks

For examples, look at Dark-Fine Tuned skins. They are all dependent on Onyx skin.
I don't understand what you're saying about the skin naming. Try it yourself.
