NEW: Twilight Skin -- Changes With Time Of Day

<< < (4/7) > >>

Matt:
It just uses your system time and compares it to midnight for the darkest.

bytestar:
Ah ok, and is it also planned that the Media Center theme will be based on the system setting for dark and light ? (a real dark mode ?)

Doof:
I don't see myself using this with this particular skin, because I'm all-in on dark mode everywhere else and it's just too bright. Team chat and my code editor are both dark mode but then MC is just bright white on my right monitor so I have to minimize it. But if this could be applied to any skin I would definitely see myself using it on something like Modern Cards: Dark Edition to have it tweak brightness/contrast throughout the day/night. Color shifting between two colors throughout the day would be cool, too.

Like if I could set a "peak day" setting and a "peak night" setting in Skin Effects and then have MC dynamically shift between the two throughout the day. That would be awesome.

marko:
So, is it simply this:

--- Code: --- <!-- Enable the DSP functions for this skin -->
<Effects>
<Data Enabled="1" Style="1" />
</Effects>
--- End code ---
that makes the magic happen?

I've had Twilight active for some time now, (19:30 atm) and can see no difference between it and the default grey version.

How would this behave, do you think, on a skin that was predominantly dark to begin with?

Matt:
Yes, we tell the skin to transition in the skin's XML.

We could add other types of effects, but walk before we run :)
