Title: EDIT XML (NOIRE TABS)
Post by: JONCAT on October 11, 2007, 07:35:58 pm
Noire tabs have never displayed properly in Negative mode. I tried changing the tTab text colors in the xml to FFFFFF to achieve white text on the grey background. No luck.

Any ideas?

DC,
Are we talking about tabs on, for example, the Skin Manager or Split View tabs?

Any movement on this front? Quite a few users using PixOS & Noire in negative.

This has been an issue since MC12's first beta:

From what I can see, there doesn't appear to be any way to change the colors of the tabs. None of the skins I've looked at have done it. I'm assuming the section in the XML file you'd be interested in is the SPLITVIEWTAB section, not the TAB section. But the SPLITVIEWTAB section doesn't appear to specify a font color in any of the skins I've looked at. So that may be an omission in the skinning engine. As for why the Skin Effects aren't applying the negative effect on the tabs (and apparently the OSD in Display View?) looks like a bug.

to change the colour of the letters in the osd add this to the main xml:

<OSD>
   <Colors Text="000000"/>
</OSD>

succes
gab

maybe i should add that this changes the colour of the letters in black. resulting in white when using negative. when you switch back from negative the letters will be invisible, because the background from the osd does not change when using negative. which i think is a good idea. to get the text white again change it to:  Colors Text="ffffff" or just take it away.

edit 2: just thought that maybe this would look nice enough and works in negative and normal:
<OSD>
   <Colors Text="4695E2"/>
</OSD>
