Changing item colors by item type?

English General
1

Just curious, is it possible (through skin.ini or gui.ini maybe) to change an items color whenever it’s inserted into the playlist by the item type assigned to it?

For example, jingles/sweepers are item type sweeper, when they’re inserted they could be a different color than a song, or a voicetrack, etc.

just wondering

Oh, yes, skin.ini support for the new item type feature is still missing. I will add that.

Please try the new Build 669. I have added an (optional) “item type” part in the skin.ini RowColor line format, between “player state” and “item category”.

[Alternate][History][PlayerState][ItemType][ItemCategory]RowColor=<HTML Color>

where ItemType is one of the following:

Unknown
Music
Voice
News
Advertising
Package
Jingle
Sound
Effect
Trailer
Promo
Sponsorhip
Sweeper
Drop
StationID
Bed
Instrumental
Show
Other
Custom1
Custom2
Custom3

After messing around with this… I can’t figure it out :-\ . I don’t use a skin.ini file normaly, so I made one and added
[ItemType]
Unknown=#0000A0
Music=#FFFF00

And nothing… what am I doing wrong!!!

Oh, in this case I think you should take a look at some skin.ini examples first to learn how it works.

Try this:

[Playlist]
UnknownRowColor=#0000A0
MusicRowColor=#FFFF00
