Title: MEGA-ME Skinning - TargetBar Text Color
Post by: ZRocker on May 04, 2002, 12:13:01 pm
Nikolay,

Can we please get a setting for the TargetBar's text color?  Right now it follows the FRAME > Colors > Text setting...which isn't very convienent.  I'm requesting a specified setting under PLAYERWINDOW (where TargetBar is defined) for the TargetBar's text color.  The column header's got their own TextColor setting...so should TargetBar (in my opinion).

ALSO -
I'd request a separate text color setting for those up/down triangles used on the visualization divider bar (in Playing Now)...currently they take on the color of FRAME > Colors > Text too.

OK...still more -
Separate Text Color settings for Menu text, Button text and, maybe, Dialog 'static' text.  I see many examples in current MEGA-ME skins where it is hard to be creative because the current 'one text color fit all' scheme (FRAME > Colors > Text) doesn't fit everywhere...look at Green Eyes w/black on dark green buttons (very hard to read...making the text white makes the menu bar and TargetBar text hard to read...and so on).

ZRocker,

This line is from Techno skin, it shows how to set Text and ActiveText colors for TargetBar:

Sorry, not in this version.

New version will support separate color setting for buttons.

TextBox (static) already has it's own color.

I guess I should have said individual controls' text color because the checkbox, radio button, etc. text all follow FRAME Colors.  Setting TextBox color any different that FRAME Color Text makes for a very weird display.  I guess I'm requesting a set of text color settings for dialog controls separate from the ones used for Menuing (or vice versa...I'm mean leave things as they are and have a set of text colors for Menu colors).  Confused?  Independent color settings for dialog control text and menuing text...that's what I'm requesting.
