Title: change color
Post by: Imhotep on January 07, 2010, 07:43:42 pm

hi,
i'm working on some customizations.
is there any possibility to change the backgroundcolors of the movie and filmtitel-window.
it would look very nice in black  ;D
Or still the background of the listed films. Because i can't find a solution yet.

The page colour is set BEFORE the first section statement.

<border shape="none" />
<color>$B09A71</color>

The colour of the font in the list can't be changed, to my knowledge, so a black list with black text won't work.

You might find more ideas in my newest skins (one for movies, one for people).  I was going to wait for the next version of PVD before posting, but here goes. 

CAVEATS:  No comments in code, no screen shots, and changes to both skins are 100% guaranteed in the near future.

List item colors are configurable at Preferences - Appearance.

Insert the color code after the following line:

 <preview>skinimg_movie_VinT.png</preview>

My skins are in a zip file attached to my last post.

ahhhh, ok sorry.
i thought there's an extra "point" for color
and appearance is only the headline of the list.
