..uiii, very nice!!! big thx!!

..i have a double entry of "Color Editor" after installation in the main menu and the first entry works, the other one not!

wa 5.31

[martin.deimos]

perhaps check if you have 2 coloreditor.wac in wadir/plugins/freeform/wacs/
and delete the one that is not in ColorEditor dir

[n0j0e]

..nope, only one coloreditor.wac ! i have the color editor in to a fresh w5.31 installed.

[martin.deimos]

that's really strange!
Has anyone else this bug?
Perhaps use windows search in winamp folder for coloreditor.wac to ensure!

[n0j0e]

Plugins\freeform\wacs\ColorEditor\coloreditor.wac
Plugins\freeform\wacs\ColorEditor\xml\coloreditor.maki
Plugins\freeform\wacs\ColorEditor\xml\coloreditor.xml

..use BareGrep !! more faster and deeper than win-search.

Do you have Winamp 5.31 released on Oct 25 2006... Maybe you have one of the earlier builds of v5.31?

[n0j0e]

last two msg from me.. winamp bug or skin bug?

[Kyoto]

hey!
I've installed this cool tool (on winamp 5.3.0.920) in order to make a color theme for the original winamp skin to match my windows theme

The original winamp theme isn't zipped
I can't seem to get to edit the color themes: I huess it's somehow locked somewhere but I don't know how to make it editable

anyone can help?

thx

[TheElusiveMelon]

You can't edit existing themes because they are defined in the skin XML. What you need to do is click the New Theme button in the bottom right corner, and them make your own one from there.

I hope that is what you needed to hear.

[Kyoto]

thanks for helping me out: everything is ok now that i got it

i just wanted to post this to see if anyone else was having problems too...but in version 5.33 and using the color editor some bugs have appeared. custom themes i create, although saved in the CE, do not reappear when if i close winamp and restart it. also some odd behavior when switching color themes...now i notice that when i restart winamp, the color theme always switches back to the default, regardless of what it was on before.

this is on a clean install of version 5.33, using vista (32 bit).

[martin.deimos]

hm noticed some updating lacks, but this could have to do sth w/ my current skin!
otherwise no prob!
wa 5.33 (win xp)

[RandomCarpet]

very useful!

oh and btw what's its GUID?

[martin.deimos]

uh, your ask thinks! i dunno now if the ce has a static guid, perhaps check studio.xnf! here YOUR guid must be in!

[RandomCarpet]

didn't succeed in finding a guid, but the group id "wasabi.coloreditor.main" can be used instead, at least for what i want to do.

I want to make something like this:




and i managed to put the color editor inside another container:

PHP Code:

<container id="cEditor" name="Playlist Editor" default_h="270" default_w="333" default_visible="0" component="wasabi.coloreditor.main">

<layout id="normal" maximum_w="270" maximum_h="333" default_h="270" default_w="333" background="png.fake">
  <!--group id="wasabi.frame.layout" x="0" y="0" w="0" relatw="1" h="0" relath="1"-->

  <component
    id="coloreditor.component"
    x="14"
    y="43"
    w="28"
    h="90"
    autoopen="1"
    autoclose="1"
    param="wasabi.coloreditor.main"
  />
  <text
    id="text1"
    default=""
    x="215" y="10" w="80"
    antialias="1"
    font="ttf.D3CuteBitMapismA" fontsize="11" align="center"
    color="0,0,0"
  />

  <script
    id="coloreditor_SakuraSwatch.script"
    file="maki-code/coloreditor_SakuraSwatch.maki"
  />


</layout>

</container> 


i'll make the default controls invisible (well, that's not hard to do), but i can't find a way to access some of those controls (set the positions of the r,g,b sliders) by setting the properties of external (my) scontrols.

I even tried to get references to color editor's controls by using

PHP Code:

GuiObject Component.getContent() 


-doesn't work

tried assigning action="ABOUT" action_target="coloreditor"; action="FAQ" action_target="coloreditor" and so on, and some of those work if i start another instance of ColorEditor by:

PHP Code:

  <ColorEditor:Instance id="coloreditor2"/> 


,but my setlist (the one used in the instance with id "coloreditor2") lists only build-in color schemes

well i can hack the original coloreditor.xml to add the color swatch there

[SLoB]

the swatch type thing has been done in a previous skin (think it was for Quads baseball cap skin)but not for the color editor but to set a specific layer a color

[RandomCarpet]

yes, i've already checked that one out (forums search)

[martin.deimos]

randomei, perhaps you try FIRST to add all the things you want to do in the original coloreditor window - create a new box or something else!
then try to exclude it in a skin!

[RandomCarpet]

thanks martin. tried to do what you said, but could't get it to work.

anyway, figured out that if the color editor component is held inside another container and after the component is loaded, the objects defined in the coloreditor.xml are accessible (because they become child objects of that container)

but i can't think of a working way to autoload the component when my container is shown. autohide seems to work, but autoopen doesn't.

i assume the only way to load the color editor is by using the system menu or the thinger icon. the thinger icon is a guiobject and an attempt to trigger a left click event on it results in a guru meditation.

sooo, i'd be very happy to know what functions are executed when a thinger icon is clicked

[martin.deimos]

uh, you want to stimulate a thinger click, hm i have done real crazy things w/ wasabi, but here i havn't an idea! i might take a look in a old wasabi sdk, but i think this is impossible!

one question: can u view some coloreditor controls (test some Coloreditor:... objects) in a different wnd when coloreditor wnd isn't shown?

Nevertheless, you will have problems w/ your skin and CE isn't installed!

yes you can! but in that case the colorthemes list lists only build-in themes (those created by the user with the help of coloreditor are hidden) and what's more: the rgb/hls sliders are not locked even if the current/selected color theme is a build-in one and if you try to change the position of a slider, guess what - winamp crashes..

but i found a workaround: i call showWindow("wasabi.coloreditor.main","my container's id", Boolean transient) when the layout that holds the coloreditor component.. and coloreditor is loaded! and everything works like a charm.. i hope this method works with older versions of coloreditor and winamp. i'll post a working example .wal when i complete it.
ah, and the skin will check whether coloreditor is installed

[martin.deimos]

the crash should be normal CE wasn't build for this aim...

how can u detect if coloreditor is installed?
the only way i could imagine is checking for the coloreditor logo in CE directory, any other method?

[RandomCarpet]

here is another method:

i'll get the number of children objects of my layout before and some milliseconds after i call showWindow; if coloreditor is installed and loaded properly by showWindow its controls (objects) will become children objects of my layout as well, so the total number of objects will grow and getNumObjects() should return a greater number than before calling showWindow

Hi all.
First, thx for the plugin, it's very useful (:
I use WA 5.33 & Color Editor v2.1.
How can I change the color of the text shown on this pic (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c48/crazye_/wa.png) in red rectangle? I want the display to be in white, but when I set it, the text in question disappears (coz it's white).

[martin.deimos]

hm, if you've created the skin, ensure that you have defined a gammagroup for the coresponding text

Sorry, I missed to mark off that the skin's not made by me, this is Drone v 1.1

[martin.deimos]

does this color change if you select build-in colorthemes?

[stumpygremlin]

I can't get the thing to work at all. Can somebody walk me through step by step.

I click on View, then "Color Editor", but nothing happens. why?
