It's easy - you just use the gui file that comes with 2.2 and update it with the colour section of Dark Horse

I suppose it'll be updated here soon as well!

I've tried that, but the position of several labels were off. So I guess the skin also has some custom positioning in it.

Ah... interesting...

I have a tool though that lets me compare the files and find differences... I can probably come up with something...

Hey, Urs, are you talking about that open-source/freeware file comparer? I can't find the really useful one I downloaded a while back, which I was using to compare PHP pages for a site I'd modified.

Nah... I'm talking BBEdit... that one lets me scan whole folders for differences and has a very convenient layout

Ah, BBEdit - When I learned to code HTML 1.0 that was what I used on most on-site jobs (at home I used HomeSite). I got so I could write the most extensive search/replace scripts with it. I mean, probably child's play compared to what you do with it, but I have great fondness for that program.

Dln,
any chance of making the skin compatible with the new Zebra release?

I actually haven't updated yet because I like your skin so much...

Oh wait...

Am I just stating the obvious, Dark Horse fans? But I think I discovered something about the mis-aligned labels with 2.2b6.

I'm doing a mod on this beautiful skin, tweaking the backgrounds to my liking and adding a personalization and whatnot, so I was looking closely at the structure of the files and trying to decipher the config file.

So, not to state the obvious, if the DarkHorse Zebra2.txt file aligns the labels correctly, wouldn't we just want to use that? Or did other things change in that file so that we would want to use the most recent?

Nevertheless, I'm having a great time building my own version of this. Many thanks to the author for releasing this.

All right. For you intrepid folks, I figured out what you need to edit in the Zebra2.txt file to tweak the DarkHorse skin to work with b6.

I figured there were most likely important differences between the old layout configuration file and the current, so it was better to learn what it was that I needed to adjust to fix the layout.

So with a decent text editor (really, you're gonna want something that has decent search functions), open up both the DarkHorse skin and the Default skin.

The string you're going to want to search for is:

Code: Select all

name='labeltext' id='0' value=''

So for example to fix the VCF1 alignment search for:

Code: Select all

name='labeltext' id='0' value='VCF1'

(You can further speed this up by doing a search for name='labeltext' id='0' value=VCF - leaving off the number and closing quote and you flip through the things you're going to fix.)

That will land you on the right block of code.

On the top line of this block of code is a string something like this

Code: Select all

bounds='0.00 14.00 43.00 12.00'

Those are the placement variables for main lables. You can copy them out of the DarkHorse skin, or tweak them yourself - I did some of both.

There are still a couple of small misalignments but at this moment it's close enough.

Hope that helps, or that I'm not giving away company secrets. If so, just delete away. No worries.

i found that automatically assigning the XY functions to filter using the contextual menu would not work whilst using dark horse skin. this was before the b6. i too would love to use this skin again, it's one of the best skins i've ever seen for any plug in!!!
