Highlighter on Album Covers

[joecru]

Hi Sub,

Can you please change the colour on the Album Directory select.When using the MVP its hard to see what Album you've
selected,because the backgrounds white and the Highlighters a thicker white. What about Blue or RED.

Regards
Joe

Very minor thing but I'd also like to see the album sleeve when you have descended into the directory with the mp3s actually in it

perhaps it could be placed under the area where play/play all/shuffle etc buttons are

@joecru: you can change the color of the highlights in the skin.xml-file in the music-directory. i suppose, you are using one of the default skins, where a png is displayed. it might be enough to change those png's...

Hi dottore ,

Do you just edit the skin.xml file in note then?How do you add the png files etc?
I had to use the Default Skin because the JukeBox wouldn't work otherwise.

yes, i use notepad. look at the following lines in skin.xml:

<CompositeImage name="Folder" size="165,141">
<DrawImage filename="large-folder.png" loc="0,0" size="162,138"/>
<!--&lt;DrawRoundedRect loc=&quot;0,0&quot; size=&quot;162,138&quot; radius=&quot;10&quot; borderWidth=&quot;3&quot; borderColor=&quot;White&quot; fillColor=&quot;ForwardDiagonalarkBlue-Black&quot;/&gt; -->
&lt;/CompositeImage&gt;

&lt;CompositeImage name=&quot;FolderSelected&quot; size=&quot;165,141&quot;&gt;
&lt;DrawImage filename=&quot;large-folder-selected.png&quot; loc=&quot;0,0&quot; size=&quot;162,138&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/CompositeImage&gt;

&lt;CompositeImage name=&quot;File&quot; size=&quot;165,141&quot;&gt;
&lt;DrawImage filename=&quot;large-file.png&quot; loc=&quot;0,0&quot; size=&quot;162,138&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/CompositeImage&gt;

&lt;CompositeImage name=&quot;FileSelected&quot; size=&quot;165,141&quot;&gt;
&lt;DrawImage filename=&quot;large-file-selected.png&quot; loc=&quot;0,0&quot; size=&quot;162,138&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/CompositeImage&gt;

you see, that you can draw several images (in this case, it's only one image, e.g. large-file-selected.png) and even rounded rectangles (see the commented line in the first node). play with these settings. the *Selected are interesting for you, try drawing a better large-folder-selected.png or use a colored rounded rect.

Hi Dottore,

Thanks for the instructions. So if I change the White to another colour,this should change the Highlight colour in the Music Lib Dirs. How does it know were to get the colour from?

Sorry if these are stupied questions,but I'am new to programming.



<!--&lt;DrawRoundedRect loc=&quot;0,0&quot; size=&quot;162,138&quot; radius=&quot;10&quot; borderWidth=&quot;3&quot; borderColor=&quot;White&quot; fillColor=&quot;ForwardDiagonalarkBlue-Black&quot;/&gt; -->

first of all: delete the comment-tags (<!-- and -->. difficult to explain....let's try it (my english is bad, so don't expect too much :-)):

there are a few colors which can be accessed from every &quot;application&quot; by name: White, LightGray, Yellow, Red, DarkRed, DarkGreen and so on. alternatively you can use the hexadecimal notation: #ffffff would be white.
(#rrggbb, r = red, g = green, b = blue from 00 to ff). the color for the border comes directly from this source: when you say borderColor=&quot;Green&quot; gbpvr draws a rectangle with a green border. this green cannot be changed, it's just .... GREEN! :-)

ForwardDiagonal:color1-color2 draws a diagonal gradient from color1 to color2
Horizontal:color1-color2 does the same in horizontal direction
Vertical: see above, but vertical.

i am not sure, what you meen by &quot;where does the color come from&quot; but when you are new to programming this information should help...

Hi Dottore,

Had a play about with .png file last night and got the highlight colours changed. Thanks for the help.

Would it be possible to make changes to the JukeBox Plugin,
Pgn/ up/Down to display a page at a time when selecting songs etc?

Dottore,

I changed the suround colours on the large-folder-selected.png last night ,and also on the large-file-selected.png in the skin\musiclib dir.When I tryed to use the Jukebox this morning, it would let you select Jukebox and would start to play,but when I try to select a different song, the MVP drops the connection to the server.Would the changes I made to the above files cause this problem with the Jukebox plugin?
