Multiple color for Star Ratings?

Balinus · 2012-03-20 04:47

Hello!

I' d like to know if it's possible to have more than one color for Star ratings? I mean, I'd like to add a new color theme to a skin, but it would be better to also change the colors of the stars. So, in other words, a blue theme with blue star, yellow theme with yellow stars, etc....

Thanks!

Balinus,

This is what I use in my skin, probably what you are after

PHP Code:

            <control type="image">
                <posx>272</posx>
                <posy>335</posy>
                <width>177</width>
                <height>25</height>
                <info>ListItem.StarRating</info>
                <colordiffuse>StarDiffuse</colordiffuse>
                <visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Thumb)</visible>
                <visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.StarRating)</visible>
                <animation effect="fade" delay="300" start="0" end="100" time="200">Visible</animation>
            </control> 

Just place an entry in your color.xml file called StarDiffuse and you are good to go.

Or if the design of the stars is more advanced (colordiffuse doesn't work so good then), you can use something like <texture>$INFO[Skin.CurrentTheme,rating/,/]$INFO[ListItem.StarRating]</texture>.

OK, I'll look into those solutions, thanks a lot!

Will report back in next days with results Smile
