Selected font color?

ubergeek · 4th April 2006, 21:11

I know SelectedBG is used for changing the background color of a selected song, but what if I want to change the color of the playlist entry when it is selected?

Pledit.txt gives the font colors and font face for the Playlist Editor track listing as well as the MiniBrowser URL display, located at the bottom of the MiniBrowser.

Here are some sample settings for pledit.txt is:

[Text]
Normal=#FF8924
Current=#FFFF00
NormalBG=#1A120A
SelectedBG=#944E11
MbFG=#FF8924
MbBG=#1A120A
Font=Comic Sans MS

The funny values are Hexadecimal RBG values (see Hex RGB). Each row has a different setting:

* Normal - Color of the regular text (Playlist).
* Current - Color of the current track text (Playlist).
* NormalBG - Background for normal text (Playlist).
* SelectedBG - Background for the selected text (Playlist)
* MbFG - Text color in the MiniBrowser & video status bar. (MiniBrowser)
* MbBG - Text background in the MiniBrowser & video status bar. (MiniBrowser)
* Font - Font face that's used in both windows

That doesn't answer my question.

Well those are the only colour options available to you in the playlist editor, so in a way it does.

So you want to change the colour of the text when the song is selected? unfortunatly you can't it would be a nice feature but its not there.

That's pretty messed up.

Its not really messed up at all,

just means you can't set SelectedBG to the same value as Normal

because when selected you will end up with invisible text.

The difference between a good skinner and a bad skinner is the good skinner can over come problems like this,

I am forever making changes to my designs to accomadate for the limitations of skinning winamp. Its just one of those things.
