Title: Changing background color in zones
Post by: roller on May 02, 2025, 06:46:12 am

I often use two zones. Both zones have the same black background behind their tabs.
I would like to change this background of the active zone. Does anyone know where I can do this in the main.xml file? 
In the attached picture it is a light blue colour. So that it is clear which is the active zone.
I did this years ago but can't remember how.
What is this area called in main.xml and where can I find it?

 It looks like you are referring to the VIEWHEADER with 2 or more Split Views open.  If so, try:

<VIEWHEADER> 
     <Colors  HeaderBackground="62aebd"  InactiveHeaderBackground="3e3e3e" ... />

Although making that change in the ViewHeader will allow you to differentiate between the Active and Inactive TabBars there is no way of being able to give the TabBar for one Zone a different color to that being used for another Zone.

Also if you do make that change make sure you change the name of the modified skin and the folder it's using because if its an MC Stock Skin your Modified Version of the Skin will get replaced by the Unmodified Stock Skin the next time you install an MC update.

Thank you for the hint with <VIEW HEADER>. I have added: InactiveHeaderBackground="303030"
It was was missing in the original.
I sometimes use three zones and now the active one is easier to recognise.
