Official Bento skin color themes thread

[kafkef]

yeah i'm exiting winamp then starting again but i'm not getting any new themes.

maybe i'm putting the files in the wrong place? where are they supposed to be?

[Edit --> DJ Egg]
Edited instructions in my post above :-)

You're restarting Winamp after adding the new themes, right? It seems Winamp doesn't "see" the new themes until you've reboot winamp. Maybe an idea for a future build, a "flush theme-cache" or something to that effect?

[kafkef]

i'm putting them in 'Winamp\Plugins\ColorThemes\Winamp Bento\' but winamp doesn't see them. where am i supposed to put them? help please :/

My first color theme

Here is my first color theme. I hope you like it.

[DJ Egg]

Brighter Pack attached

Save .xml to:
C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ColorThemes\Big Bento\
C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ColorThemes\Bento\

(or whatever path you installed Winamp to, if not the default location)

Hit F5 to reload the skin

Matches 'Brighter' with the Default | * schemes

Brighter | Green
Brighter | Orange
Brighter | Red
Brighter | Sky
Brighter | Yellow

None of the darker themes really caught my eye or were too dark (text wise) so I threw this together. I started with a clone of Winamp Modern.

I'd rate this color theme as "Meh". Click for screenshot

hi,
thats the first time i play with this tool and that is what i got (screenshot)

I tried to make a bright theme because the skin only comes with dark themes. but I'm not so happy with my result.
anyway comments would be nice.

This thread has two purposes:

1. You can download additional Color Themes for the Winamp Bento Skin (Modern Skin).
2. You can post your own Color Themes.

Color Themes are a set of special text files that determine the look of Winamp skins. Each element is displayed in the appropriate color. This text files are written as XML documents. Installer available here contains a set of Color Themes.

There is also a special tool that allows users to create their own Color Themes. It is called Winamp Color Editor. Thanks to this it is very simple and easy to do.


1. Downloading additional Color Themes

You can download special installer that allows you to install plenty of different Color Themes created by You and shared with us in this thread. It also allows to install Winamp Color Editor.

Installer contains:
• Color Themes for Winamp Bento / Big Bento Skins
• Color Themes for Winamp Modern Skin
• Winamp 5 Color Editor

You can download it directly using below link:
Winamp Color Themes Installer

Installation process is very easy and intuitive. Installer contains also Color Themes for Modern Skin. It contains also Winamp Color Editor. You can find more informations here.

After having finished you should start Winamp with Bento (or Big Bento) as active skin. If Winamp is already running hit F5 if Bento is active otherwise select Bento as your active skin.
You can access the new Color Themes in the same list as the default ones are implemented.
Have fun with them and check this thread for new Themes from time to time.


2. Posting own Color Themes

As it was mentioned earlier, in order to create Color Themes you should download Winamp Color Editor and start to edit / create themes with it (color themes installer now contains Color Editor (v2.2.1)).
Do not forget to click 'Save Themes' when you close Winamp or refresh the skin.
To submit your themes click the 'Export' button and post the new theme(s)code as quote/php in this thread.
