Title: Change UI/thumbnail font color?
Post by: rogueblue on June 07, 2023, 04:29:31 am: Hi

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

Fantastic! Thanks so much!

Here's a sample with a red line:
[Name]
Hi!<//font>

Code: [Select]
[Artist]<//b><//font> [Album]<//font> 'right([Year (Release)],2)<//font> 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.
