Couple of Color Themes for Project Mayhem III, Red & Blue

Quote:Actually what you are suggesting I guess is like a 'diff' for a skin that will use either the theme version or the default version. The problem I see with this is that I am worried it would be annoying to maintain the themes as the main skin changes. Just changing an include seems more in line with what a "theme" should be.

So, the text<theme>.xml should be located in the skin/media folder to prevent issues with the main xml update and prevent confusion.... afterall one would think as the textures and text colors seldom change they would be maintained in a location outside of the main xml as it goes through almost as many transitions as the general source code. Isolation is a sure fire way to secure the typical user error when updating.

BTW, Jezz hell of an idea you had applying this to PM3... using it now and love it to no end!

Here are some updated versions of the themes they are extactly the same just now you can change the colors inside XBMC instead of swapping the Textcolor.xml file all the time

PM3_Blue_Theme_New.rar
PM3_Red_Theme_New.rar

you will need XBMC from this revision up for it to work

added: Support for skin color themes - done by placing an xml file in <skin name>/colors folder. <skin name>/colors/defaults.xml is the default color theme (if available). PM3 updated by Jezz_X to use the new xml layout.

Hi Jezz....

I have installed these, but for some reason the only aspect that changes colour are the main menu buttons....I notice in your SS that the RSS Feed changes colour as well as other aspects...but not on mine.

The skin is definately picking up the colour change, but just not in every part of the skin?

Any ideas?

Download the ones from the first post your xbmc probably isn't up to date enough to use the new ones also read what I said about the textcolor.xml files

Thanks Jezz, I will do that as soon as I get back from work. I also PM'd you on xbox-scene...hope you get it!

Jezz, question.. I downed the files you posted at the front of this thread and named them accordingly and placed them in your new folder.. they are selectable from the settings menu which seems to work however for example when I input the master code (which displays "*") is that text also supposed to follow your color scheme? I got red on red, blue on blue and then green lol

OK, I appologize... I made the assumption the color folder was to inclrporate the theme scheme you had going... not the case so above is irrelevant and mis spoken

links to download themes are broken.
where can I download them?

ggulchin you can find them and others here
