Hello guys,
I'm trying to finish up my first skin and I've compiled a list of issues I haven't been able to find solutions for in any of the wiki information. I was hoping someone could point me to the right spot in the theme editor for these changes.
Here is a screenshot of the first set of problems: ( the forum seems to crop the right side of the image so save it locally or maybe right click > view image )
Problems:
1: When I try to change font color of the sorted header it will only let me use a system value like clRed ( which is shown currently ). The object is at Header/SectionSorted/Font/Color and I wanted it to be $00ED3607 and when I enter that it some how defaults to Blue and disregards the hex color which I don't understand since it will let me use hex values for other font colors in different objects.
7: I know it's out of order but already uploaded the picture an this issue is relavent to number 1. I can't get the ListItem/ItemAdv/Font /Color to take hex values either. currently it's set at clRed which seems to work fine. Is this a limitation of mediamonkey or have I missed something?
2: There is an ugly dotted border around the selected item in the track list and main tree which ruin the look. can I turn this off in some settings or .ini file?
3: This is the song currently playing. As you can see it is in bold text. I want to also control the color of this text. I assume since we can set the bold attribute we should also be able to set it's color. Where can I do this? I've looked all over the VirtualTree an ListBox and didn't find anything...
4: This number i listed twice on the screen because I assumed the issue is caused by the same container object. It seems tehre is a margin somewhere that is making keeping the lists from going all the way to the edge of the container and the black border is ugly. I would like to lower the margins to 1 pixel but can't seem to find which object is controlling this. I thought it would be a panel but those margins didn't seem to have an effect.
5: Notice how the main tree image, and i assume containing object overlaps the status bar by 1 pixel. I would like to remove this. so that is stops just before the status bar as the track lists does. The Album Art section also over laps by 1 pixel but for some reason in the screen shot it is not shown. ( I started with base of VitreousNew if that helps you understand why the margins are like this in the first place )
6: This is probably the one that annoys me the most. I can't figure out how to change the background color of the album art panel. I've changed the client of the panel to black but nothing seems to change it.
I'll update with the next set of problems soon if I don't figure them out myself in the next few days.
Also, comments about the skin are welcome, I know i'm going to change the Edit ( Search ) box at the top bar but let me know how it looks to you. I was going for a very flat, easy on the eyes, low contrast look while preserving the red/orange from Glided.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I forgot a problem. Can I change the icon in the top left corner of the program? i don't like the white corners. I assume this icon is in the mediamonkey install directory somewhere?
