Title: Tooltip popup background color - can I change this?
Post by: Negasonic on September 16, 2024, 05:27:01 am
Frame/Color/Face3D seems to change the tooltip background color if transparency mode is on

If transparency mode is disabled you get a solid black or solid white background depending on skin. Is there a way to change this color?

I checked your link, but it seems to be about the new Playing Now popup skin, can the code be used for the tooltip popup in standard view skins as well? I am using ModernCards Dark.

Apologies. The word "Popup" threw me, so I didn't realise/register that you were talking about standard view tooltips.

The answer to your question is "Yes, I think so, but am not 100% sure", but, it involves you opening the main.xml file found in the specific skin folder and editing the colour values.

No, I do not have the specific colour values you'd need to edit in my head, and apologies, again, but neither do I have the inclination to go find them for you. Why? Well, that would be because, I'm 100% certain that the colours you'd need to edit would affect other colours elsewhere in your skin, and then you have a whole domino toppling effect going on, as you correct what you didn't want change and find that affects something else in turn. Colours are a nightmare :)

My advice to you is to find and download HPBEME's "Dream In Blue" skin. He has spent an inordinate number of freely offered hours adding comments into the main.xml file that will likely guide you as to what you need to change, and, what affects what.
Check the skin download page in the fist instance... https://yabb.jriver.com/mediacenter/accessories.php

To save you a little time if you want, the direct d'load link for that skin is: https://accessories.jriver.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/877.mjp

Good luck in your quest :)
