Video Archiver background gone?

[dab]

The background behind the text in Video Archiver is no longer black. The whole screen except for the text shows the standard Blue skin background. This makes reading it a little hard on the eyes. I tried reinstalling and no luck.

How do I get the black back??

Thanks.

Which skin are you using?

[dab]

Standard Blue.

Here's what it looks like. Any help would be appreciated, I've been using GBPVR for a while and your plugin is the favorite especially with the identification of the colored buttons on the screen. I wish that was a standard plugin requirement, I have seen some people start to pick it up.

Thanks.

Ok I understand what you are saying now. I changed that a while back in the standard skin. If you look in the archive skin directory you will see a file called List View skin.xml. Open it with notepad and scroll down a ways. You will see a set of ies that say:

Code:

<!--                                    -->
<!-- images used for directory list box -->
<!--                                    -->
<CompositeImage name="DirectoryList" size="310,242">
    <!--<DrawRoundedRect loc="4,4" size="295,235" radius="7" borderWidth="4" borderColor="Orange" fillColor="Black"/>-->
</CompositeImage>

If you remove the <!-- from in from the <DrawRoundedRect line and the --> from the end of the line, that will return the blank box for the directory listing (I commented it out of the xml).

If you look further down you will see similar commenting out of the black boxes for the CompositeImage name="FileList" item, the CompositeImage name="ViewedDescription" item and the CompositeImage name="NotViewedDescription" item.

To be safe, make a backup of the file first before trying this since some people seem to have trouble with notepad and xml.
