I'd be interested to try out the khaki colour scheme if it's ever posted. Smile

I've made an entirely black and white (and a little bit of grey) Alaska theme.

I can post the .xml, but I've changed some more things that aren't in the .xml color file!

Yes, please post the xml. The more color combos we can stack up, the better.

As far as other adjustments... I'm sure the Alaska crew would be interested in what else needed to be adjusted.

Was it just color cosmetics that you adjusted, or deeper modding?

If you've changed textures simply build a new textures.xpr with just them using XPR Express.

I simply changed some font names, and made some things less transparant. I also changed some textures, but I will post my complete Alaska files when I'm entirely done.

I have one question though:

[Image: 05.jpg]

Which line in the colour .xml changes the grey time, seen in this picture?

How does that XPR work exactly?

Just added new colour tags -

<color name="OSDStatusBackground"></color>
<color name="OSDStatus"></color>
<color name="OSDPlayingDuration"></color>

As for XPR Express, simply place only the textures you've changed in a folder and get XPR Express to compress them to a new textures.xml.

I liked the blurry. It's supposed to be like a old-school, sepia-tone type feel.

The pictures posted are from before themes were implemented, so I had to change a bunch of stuff in the media folder, and now it doesn't work with the current build of Alaska.

However, I've modified it slightly to look like this:

[Image: screenshot002-1.jpg]

[Image: screenshot003-1.jpg]

I like the original version better, but that's it for now.

I'm sorry to state this Hitcher, but I've added the new colours in my .xml file and they aren't working!
