Standard View Skinning Tutorial
EnglishTiger:
gab after a couple of hours trying the different variations of Color Settings that can be included in the VIEWHEADER <Colors......> Statement I think if have, hopefully, come up with a definitive list of each one's use/purpose.
HeaderBackground - Background color for the Active TabBar
A Faded version of the color is used as the background of TabBars in Split Views if an InactiveHeaderBackground color is not used
It is also used as the Background color for the header bar displayed when Double Clicking on an album in Album View
InactiveHeaderBackground - Background colour for Inactive TabBars in Split Views
HeaderHotText - Text colour on mouse hover over the Only Tab on a TabBar OR when hovering over TabBar Links.
ActiveTabText - Text colour of the current tab on ALL TabBars
Background - Background color for the upper panel in Playlist Forms/Windows
Text - Text color in the upper panel in Playlist Forms/Windows
It is also used as the Text color for the header bar displayed when Double Clicking on an album in Album View
Is used as the Text color for All Text on All TabBars if a HeaderHotText color and a ActiveTabText color are not provided.
Caution – Using this setting to color anything other than the Text in the upper panel in Playlist Forms/Windows should be avoided because unlike the HeaderHotText and ActiveTabText this one will also Color the 2/3 icons normally found at the left-hand end of every TabBar
