Colour issues skin editor

Hi there, it’s me again :slight_smile:

I was checking some things in the skin editor and I noticed these ‘bugs’.

Playlist: (not working in dark and light mode)
Playedrowcolor, Playedfontcolor, Skippedrowcolor, Skippedfontcolor are not working, while the fontstyle, fontsize, fontname of these functions are working.

Player: (not working in dark mode, but working well in light mode)
Playingartistfontcolor and Playingtitlefontcolor are not working either, while the fontstile, fontsize and fontname are working here as well.

Looks like a bug to me, or should we use other command for the colouring of these items?

My cartwall in 6.3
According the new possibilities from 6.0 I collard the tabs


In all the 7 versions the tabs stay white
Schermafbeelding7.0

(skin ini imported from 6.3)

Player: (not working in dark mode, but working well in light mode)
Playingartistfontcolor and Playingtitlefontcolor are not working either, while the fontstile, fontsize and fontname are working here as well.

The ‘bugs’ mentioned above are solved in version 5010.

PlayedRowColor, PlayedFontColor, SkippedRowColor are still not working in the playlist part of the skin editor.

Works for me.

Can you please post the relevant lines of your skin file?

From skin reference wiki tabs
These settings take effect from Version 6.2 Build 4111 on.

Used those settings , not at home now so can’t access my pc.

No worries, take your time. But it would save a lot of my time if you could give me the exact lines that fail, so I don’t have to go through the reference first (no, I don’t have every single setting in mind all the time).

Hi Torben,

Strange this option works for you. I have just tested it again and still no colours.
When testing I removed all lines wich were under the PlayedRowColor etc. so I was sure I didn’t make a mistake in my Skin editor file. I use #00FF00 and #0000FF colours for testing so It will be visible very well.
These were the results for dark and light mode:


Line 258 is the last used line in the file when testing. As you can see the FontSize and FontStyle are working.

Hereby I send you the playlist part in the skin editor file;

Hope you want to have a look at it so you can see what I do wrong wich makes this not function well. As said before, (The testing this in version 5010.)

The skin file is case-sensitive, please try PlayedRowColor with a capital C.

Just remember Uli asked it also :grinning:
And for copy paste you doesn’t need the mairlist pc😉

Sorry Torben, my bad on the capital in the PlayedRowColor line.

But then again I don’t see the capital issue with the FontColor lines. You have an idea what I do wrong there?

SkippedFontColor=#00FF00

Here is a screenshot of the FontColor issue;
In the first screenshot I changed the text to PlayingFontColor, The second is with the PlayedFontColor.


Found the cause. It mixes up the order of the lines, so your PlayedFontColor has lower priority than the TitleFontColor defined earlier. Will be fixed in build 5011.

Pasted it into the [Cartwall] section, and this is what I got:

This is how it looks in 6.3 :grinning:
The latest I had was 5007 and then it was white .

Found it why it was not working here my cartwall was in the skin [CartWall] in 6.3 (and before it was never a problem)

Made almost everything back the way it was in 6.3.
A couple things are missing the background off the mix editor and the cartwall button toolbar.
and an empty playlist (I have 3) is white cant there be an empty state background like before
