Smitjel Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Yeah, there's definitely a difference in how beta 2 renders these themes...the attached skin is the same one that I just posted, just using beta2...there's also a color difference in the playlist font. Every color difference seems to grab the default color instead of the color it should be. Hopefully the final version will some consistency so we can clean these theme colors up...

Smitjel Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Well, since the color schemes are xml based, did they just rename some component, like whatever component that blue bar is, and now our xml is referring to the wrong component? Maybe it's not that hard to fix... Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/108769-winamp-5-color-themes/page/2/#findComment-1312003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not that hard to fix... maybe it was done to make the track playing easier to read .. because on some skins .. it wasn't so clear at times ... anyway .. it looks better if the track playing background color is based on the skins theme, but a lil darker .... not the blue .... :pinch: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/108769-winamp-5-color-themes/page/2/#findComment-1312062 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUTZIFER Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I see some people comparing ColorThemes and comparing Beta 1 and Beta 2. The reason there are some differences, is that almost all those ColorThemes were introduced on the Winamp forums by different people, just after Beta 1 was released. After that, some of the color codes were changed a little bit by the authors, etc. etc. Then Nullsoft released Beta 2, which had a bunch of Modern skin updates too, plus it included many of the themes created by others. Some names were changed too, therefor, between the ones included with Beta 2 and the ones on the Winamp forums, you end up with some that are simular, becuz you end up with a mix of ones that have been tweaked and have been modified.
