I saw somewhere a normal green skin with red controllers...

Sorry i forget if it was made by EvilDragon or Teksonik.

Do you guys have that ready for 2.5.4?

I would like to try if it's available! Thanks!

Cheers,
Joseph

I made that, but I didn't update it for 2.5.4. I don't plan to, since I'm using the orange one exclusively now.

Yes I know but I was wondering if anyone (Urs) knows what label numbers they are since they aren't.....well labeled very clearly.

I've searched up and down the script file and there are a ton of label entries......I spent quite awhile changing a bunch of them one by one with no luck....which is when I got the idea to ask if anoyne knows which ones specifically......

Yes, there are a lot of labels with text ..., some are from the Matrix page, others are modulation knobs, and a few of them are envelope special knobs (fall/rise, delay, init, etc.). It took a while to replace them all, yes.

Code: Select all

CONTROL type='Label' name='Label 4372' bounds='-5.00 26.00 34.00 13.00' parent='Knob 4371' layerMask='ffffffff'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='colours' id='0' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='colours' id='1' value='dark Text'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='graphics' id='0' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='labeltext' id='0' value='...'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='parentLabel' id='0' value='yes'

For example, this is the first label with ... that shows up in the original GUI script. Obviously you change 'dark Text' to something else here, and you can't quite change the color defined with 'dark Text' at the beginning of the script because that would mess up quite a number of other things for sure. So you gotta go one by one.

.....Or hope Urs knows which label numbers I need to change..........

I've found a few.....487, 497.I've managed to change the text on a few of the modulators on Osc 1.....Would be nice to have an "All Modulator Knobs Text Color=" option but that would take the fun out of it.........

I could spend time and modify the default skin by adding that new color for you if you want. I did not do it by searching the label numbers though.

I agree, the controls should've been named in a more sensible way, but what can you do...

How would you add a new color? Anyway so far it's just been replacing some "dark orange" entries with "black" so the text below Modulator knobs matches the other text and is more easily read. Time consuming but will get done eventually....I figure there are another 50 or so entries to change

EvilDragon · Post by **EvilDragon** » Fri Sep 07, 2012 11:42 am

You just add a new constant and add value to it at the top of the script file in the "Colours" section.

For example:

COLOUR name='mod text' rgba='aaaaaaff'

Have you tried it and that works? I'm at work now but I'll certainly give it a go when I get home tonight.......will save a ton of time......

EvilDragon · Post by **EvilDragon** » Fri Sep 07, 2012 1:27 pm

Yes, I did it in my orange skin and it certainly works.

Hmmmm I cut and pasted the line you provided above and I can't see any difference...(using the default patch)..where did you place the entry? I tried placing it right above and then right below the "Dark Orange" entry........

Teksonic, That really does make me feel really good

bet it was allot of HTML colour coding to do that though? I did see the code a view posts back bakc cannot remember what the coding was, its not deep code isit, or isit somekind of text file you can edit (or like a file you can normally edit within notepad etc?) I Think this should be crowned ZebraTS haha

...only thing that lets it down is...Zebra's arnt Orange

, But I must admit I like it allot

Just placing a constant won't magically make it work.

Declaring a constant means you can use it in any colour entry for any control, as a value, instead of hexadecimal RGBA code

So, after you declare your constant with the color you want, you have to use it in all the controls you want to use that color. For example:

Code: Select all

COLOUR name='Teksonik' rgba='abcdeff'


CONTROL type='Label' name='Label 4372' bounds='-5.00 26.00 34.00 13.00' parent='Knob 4371' layerMask='ffffffff'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='colours' id='0' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='colours' id='1' value='Teksonik'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='graphics' id='0' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='labeltext' id='0' value='...'
PROPERTY control='Label 4372' name='parentLabel' id='0' value='yes'

Clearer now?

Teksonik · Post by **Teksonik** » Sat Sep 08, 2012 10:58 am

Yes clearer now but that means you still have to manually change each entry. So no different than changing each label from "dark orange" to "black" which is what I have been doing. Thanks anyway though.
