[solved] How Do I Get The Colours That I Want? (4 Viewers)

I tried "blue" and that worked OK, but it is a much darker blue than the existing hex value gives. So then I tried "lightblue". That works too, and is a closer match to the colour corresponding to the hex value.

In the interests of not leaving incorrect code or xml in MP source, @catavolt ought to modify "splashscreen.xml" to use "lightblue" in place of the "#hexvalue" currently specified.

If you would have had a look into 1.16 Pre Release DWHD, then you would have seen that it´s already fixed

Apologies for incorrectly impugning "DefaultWideHD".

When I started my customisations to "DefaultWide", I copied to my laptop the skin files for both "DefaultWideHD" and "Ares", for ease of reference. Evidently, they were from an older build of MP 1.16.

Also, I said in a previous post that "Ares" did not have any hex values that began with "#". Unfortunately that was another mistake , as the "Ares" version of "splashscreen.xml" contains the value "#eaeaea" in my copy of the skin files. If @wizard123 has not already corrected this, he should do so.

It is right. It's not a mistake. You yesterday checked that no # is not working.

To be clear: splashscreen.xml is a very special case - it´s not a standard window of MP, so the colour tag there is correct - but with MP 1.16 Pre skinners now have some more possibilities to skin this screen

Agreed without the hash in that screen it will not work.

With MP 1.16 Pre and the new functions it will work without # and full ARGB
