[Configuration] Customizable Color Scheme (1 Viewer)

[Drewsta]

Hey,

Given that i choose to use the default skin for stability and compatibility reasons, it would be awesome if you were able to change the color scheme to something other than blue/green.

Ie: in the configuration your could select a color scheme from a drop down box which would then be applied to the all aspects of the skin/icons etc.


Cheers

Colors in MeMo is a matter of:
- colors of font
- colors of pictures (like background, menus, butons etc)
These things are managed by selected skin.
So, changing colors means changing a skin.

The easiest way to do customisation - by only changing colors of pictures:
- open "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin" (or a corresponding folder on your PC);
- you will find skin files there.
Suppose, you are using Blue3. So, go to "Blue3\Media" folder and find lots of png files.
To create additional color scheme - copy Blue3 folder to smth like "Blue3 (yellow)".
Next goto "Blue3 (yellow)\Media" folder and open in Photoshop (or smth else) required png files (stand for background, for example), edit colors as you like (to yellow, for example).
Then in "MediaPortal Configuration" select the new skin "Blue3 (yellow)" and get thrilled with new colors .

So, since everybody has own tastes in colors - is better to select colors by youself
