Watched/unwatched icon vs. colour (1 Viewer)

[KayJay]

Is it by design or by mistake that the episodes are no longer colour coded to indicate if they are watched/unwatched/not present? I know the new icons show the state of an episode but it is very hard to get a quick overview of which new episodes have been downloaded lately in the Latest view which is the one I use the most.
I have gone through the xml files but I can't find anywhere to manually change the text colour. Any solution or easy hack out there?

You'll find what you are looking for at the top of tvseries.xml. Pretty self explanatory.

*edit* Oops sorry, this is for StreamedMP. Didn't occur to me to differenciate between skins.

Its all up to the skin designer...if there are watched/unwatched/not-available icons displayed whats the point, it just makes the facade a multi-colour mess.

Sorry, I don't see it...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<window>
  <id>9811</id>
  <defaultcontrol>50</defaultcontrol>
  <allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
  <controls>    
	
	<!-- Import Dummy Controls to handle visibility -->
	<import>TVSeries.dummy.xml</import>
  
    <!-- ********************** BACKGROUNDS************************************** -->
    <control>
		<description>Background</description>
		<type>image</type>
		<id>1</id>
		<posX>0</posX>
		<posY>0</posY>
		<width>1280</width>
		<height>720</height>
		<texture>Background.png</texture>
    </control>
	
	<control>
      <description>Fanart Background #1</description>

and so on and so forth. I can't see anything that would help me here. I have also tried editing the imported TVSeries.dummy.xml but no luck there.

The way I use the Latest view is to skim it to see which shows have been downloaded that I haven't watched yet (white text), which ones haven't downloaded yet (red text) and the rest (grey) are the ones I already watched. When everything is up-to-date they are all the same boring grey colour

If your using Blue3Wide, look for:

          <remoteColor>FFa6c3e1</remoteColor>
          <!-- Watched color -->
          <downloadColor>d4d2d2</downloadColor>
          <!-- not watched color (normal) -->
          <textcolor>FF78ace0</textcolor>
          <!-- local file not present color -->
          <textcolor2>FF78ace0</textcolor2>
          <!-- local file not present color  column 2-->
          <textcolor3>FF78ace0</textcolor3>
          <!-- local file not present color column 3-->

This is located down near the bottom.

Thanks, that helped. I had been changing those values at first but without any effect. Now I found out that they appear twice, once for the series view where the icons look much better than the colours and then again near the bottom for the episode view.
This plugin is the one I use the most and together with Moving Pictures it is the reason I use MP instead of one of the alternatives. The colour coded episodes is what makes it easy for me to check the status of the shows so I'm happy I could get it back

You have to clear the skin cache after altering the skin's xmls, right?

I know you used to have to clear it but I got this to work without clearing it. I takes more than half an hour when I start up with a cleared cache so I just hoped it wasn't necessary.

half an hour? are you sure, shouldnt really take that long

I mean the skin cache. Not the tvseries database nor the tvseries thumbs folder.
Half an hour is too much for the skin cache. Even half a minute is too much!
