Title: Mr ChriZ: Plugin template - Foreground text isn't visible...
Post by: raldo on April 30, 2009, 06:59:10 am

I've used your VS 2005 template as a base for PVD import. Thanks by the way, great work!

Now, for some skins, the text is hardly visible in the plugin window. Do you know how to fix this? My google fu has failed me...

It's quite a few years since I've seriously looked at this,
could you post a screenshot of what you're refering to?

Darichman, can you do me a favor, post a screenshot with Blue Steel or another skin where the text isn't visible?

Ahh, so that's what you meant. I obviously haven't used any other skins but noire for ages ;)

Hmm that's interesting.  No ideas tbh.
I think if I remember, there maybe a setting somewhere to turn off skinning for the plugin.
This maybe a registry change I can't remember.

I figured it out: Remove all the skinning calls *within* the plugin. Both initialization and skinning change event...
