DebugFlo Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Huge thanks to @Jason Carr and @faeran . On my side I try to update the old plugin, but it’s hard. And also thanks to @viking for his hard work on colorful theme. Quote

Expand Ok, i have that file open, but how do i know the colour code to input there? I currently have ZX Spectrum and Windows only showing green. Quote

I'm guessing it comes from the videos that were created either by viking or someone in the community. You could always try an eye dropper program to capture the colour from the video. 3 Quote

Its all well and good saying you can add any colour to any system, but most people wont have a clue what colour code they need. I didnt know there were programs to get those codes, so ill have a look for one. Quote

Expand Those two codes are a little too dark, but close enough thanks, ill have a look for a program though to find them. Why cant it be simple and just be "light blue" and "dark red" Quote

crisemmm Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 is there anyway to revert to ver 1.0 of this theme? im on ver 1.1 and get two different colors merging from left when showing your platform videos when coming across certain console systems? Quote

Expand If someone still had the older theme files you could use them, as long as you note that all platform view colors are broken in that version. I've ported the theme over to the COMMUNITY Theme Creator, which is currently in beta. That version will eventually replace this one. So if you, or others, have time to test the colors, I can make any adjustments before the release. Quote

viking Posted August 23, 2021 Author Posted August 23, 2021 The problem with colors in video is that it changes all the time. using the eyedropper in Photoshop does not always work well. We're close, but it's not perfect. What I do in these cases: Launch BigBox and launch the desired platform. Press "print screen" key on my keyboard. Open Photoshop > Ctrt+N > Ctrl+V Here, use the eyedropper tool to get the Hex code yes. Boring ... but it's works ! Because between Photoshop edit, After Effect export, codec and VLC player, all color change a little ... 2 Quote

Mute64 Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) ** update ok.. unsure how but i fixed it.** All right, so i was trying to fix the platform Windows colour problem i was having so i went into the COLORFUL_Styles.xaml and added the windows line <SolidColorBrush x:Key="windows Color" Color="#349EC8"/> unfortunately i made a typo and the theme view crashed and went back to default BB. So i found my typo and fixed it but still had the theme crashing so i did a complete fresh install of the theme but still had the theme crashing. this is now the error i am getting with this them. What have i done wrong and why wouldnt a fresh install of the Theme fix the issue? Edited August 26, 2021 by Mute64 Quote
