Official Bento skin color themes thread

No, that's actually not really the right way!

Far too complicated and your Themes will be gone the next time you update Winamp!


Here's the right way, much much easier:
Just download the .xml's and save them "as they are" into the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ColorThemes\Bento

(or ....\Big Bento for Big Bento).

If you have a 64bit System, the Program Files folder may be "Program Files (x86)".

If that doesn't work or you don't find the folder, try looking here:
%APPDATA%\Winamp

(enter this into the Address Bar of your Explorer Window).

This is the new location for the config files. From there you again go to Plugins, ColorThemes etc.

You have to open each xml file, copy the content (from <gammaset id="xxxxxx"> to </gammaset> -that would be beginning and ending of each theme) and paste it at the end of the colors file for Big Bento located at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Skins\Big Bento\xml\color-presets.xml

no one knows?

[z3N]

how do use those .xml files?

[Victhor]

Ok, long way it is then..

[Pawel]

I am sorry. I do not share my code. I repeat, if you want to use NSIS, check its Examples directory, read documentation or use NSIS forum.

[Victhor]

Ok, one more thing (now I realize I should've started with this..): Would you please share the files / scripts you used for this? I'm not so much into coding, but given a "base file" I can surely replace paths and parameters. I would really appreciate it, it would be really great so I won't be doing the same work you already did!

[Pawel]

You can use whatever you want. To create above installer I used NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page).

[Victhor]

Can you point me to which libraries and soft I need?

[Pawel]

Everything is possible, especially with NSIS. This is just simple installer that copying to user system a set of color themes. It is not difficult.

[Victhor]

Is it possible to do some sort of compiler to function like this? So I can do a new set of color themes for a specific skin and distribute it with a installer like this one.

May be too hard to do? Or to learn how to?

[Pawel]

Ps: We are waiting for a new Color Themes. Upload it in this thread!

[DrO]

there have been no changes with colour themes so this should work the same be it 5.63 or 5.64 or 5.7 beta.

[OlexijL]

Is that 5.64 compatible Color Pack? This 2.1 version?

I want to share my final version of my XML-file now:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/o2rbfunv1912w7l/sabine_klare_dream.xml

My XML-file is for the pasting into the right directories, but if someone wants have an easier reading of the codes, I have also a TXT-file:

The whole story about my files can be read here:

It's easier for me to show my screenshots in deviantART & Photobucket, much better than using the attachement-feature (because I don't want to make my post too large and too long):

Here I have also some screenshots with Winamp in Windowshade Mode:

I make my Winamp-Screenshots because of the very nice visualizer Milkdrop 2 (I have currently 3880 Winamp-Screenshots on my harddrive).
And I am looking again to my work now...
