The colors thread (show us your color themes) [Alaska only]

WJWNL Wrote: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!

I love that black. Will try it out when you post it! Can I see how it looks in homestyle 2 and poster view please?

WJWNL,

Post your mod. We want to play too =P

Did you define a color like so:

<color name="OSDStatusBackground">ff15efd9</color>

jbor613 I have to tell you that same colours but a brighter background makes this theme better in my opinion. Maybe the thing I don't liked was the similarity of texts and background.

So, brighter than the second one I posted?

I didn't really make it to be enjoyed by anyone else, frankly. I made it for my own personal tastes. Anyone is welcome to take what I've done and modify it. But I'm not going to change it

Yep, but didn't work.

I will post the modification this week, I'm not entirely done with it yet.

Edit (for fillidill):

Red slate is still going strong but I found myself a little unsatisfied with the status screen.
The issue is that the alpha level of OSDStatus is affected by OSDStatusBackground.
Thus bbad0909 becomes nearly opaque when it should be fairly clear.

Solution for picky bastards like me, but that alpha down to size:

<color name="OSDStatus">55ad0909</color>

Produces a much happier result.

I want to say that the second one is perfect!!!! Maybe the problem is my English And thank you to share it because is a very good theme.

Have you updated all the XML's?

Amra Wrote:I think it is this section (from the default color xml):

Code:

<!-- List & File colours -->

    <color name="ListTrackNF">FF686868</color>
    <color name="ListTitleNF">FF474747</color>
    <color name="ListTrackF">FF686868</color>
    <color name="ListTitleF">FF474747</color>
    <color name="FileTitleNF">ab474747</color>

In the image above, ListTrackF & ListTitleF are white. ListTrackNF & ListTitleNF are yellow. Obviously, I've used different numbers than what is in the default.

Hope I got that right & it helps.

Thanks a lot,

It was just the info I needed, now my orange color scheme is almost done.
