Hi

Is it possible to change the UI/thumbnail font color
I find it not very legible and often have to struggle to read

[HPBEME]

Yes it can be changed. You have to modify the hex color specified in the LIST section of the skin XML file.

Fantastic! Thanks so much!

You can also change it by using fonts in the text.

Here's a sample with a red line:
[Name]
<font color="0xff0000">Hi!<//font>

Attached is a multi-line example, generated with the following code in the view's tab menu Thumbnails > Thumbnail Text...

Code: [Select]

<font color="FF7F50"><b>[Artist]<//b><//font>
<font color="3CFF3D">[Album]<//font>
<font color="00FF00">'right([Year (Release)],2)<//font>    <font size="85">FormatDate(convertdate([Date Acquired]),M//d//yy)<//font>Thumbnails > Thumbnail Text Lines... = 4.
Note:  third line of code includes two custom library fields, but you get the idea - lots of flexibility with MC's Expression Language.

Reference: Section "HTML Font Properties" near the bottom of the wiki page for Expression Language:

There are also numerous examples in old MC forum threads.

Using this approach you can customize font properties for each tab individually, and the customization generally persists when you change standard skins.
