it should already be using bg, but i see it was ignoring fg - is that what you meant?

Yeah. I thought it was both colours but I see now it's only ignoring the fg colour.

it should be fixed now

Thanks for the links @sveakul.

It's not working for me so I must have something wrong.  I copied the code from the first link and changed the name of the skin to MusicBee3 which is the one I am using.  I put in values for the colors.  Here is what mine looks like.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root dependsOn="MusicBee3.xmlc">
<element id="Content[NowPlaying].Body.Default" bg="224" fg="000" />
</root>

I named it Now Playing Background Color.xml and put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\MusicBee\Skins where the MusicBee3.xmlc file resides.

I then exited MusicBee and restarted it, but the background for the Right Main Panel where the lyrics display is still white.

I am using the patch mentioned in the previous posting, 3.3.7275.

Can anyone help me by telling me where I went wrong?

Thanks,
Bill

I see that I coded the colors incorrectly.  I changed it to:

<element id="Content[NowPlaying].Body.Default" bg="224,224,224" fg="000,000,000" />

It still isn't working.  I must have something else wrong.

Oops.  Never mind.  I see what I did.  I didn't follow the instructions in the 2nd link all the way to the end so I forgot to select my new skin.

Sorry about that.

Works like a charm when you follow directions!

Thanks for the help!

No problem BillH, glad you have it looking the way you want it.
