How to change to change the controller highlight colour

[iisfaq]

I have never liked the new v7.4 highlight on the squeezebox controller so I wrote a short WIKI article on how to change it.

Hopefully it may be of some use to the group.

Cool.

[Kuben72]

Very cool indeed.

Excellent thanks.

EDIT: Tried it. Right clicked on the magenta images and saved them, but the file size of those is much bigger and the controller doesn't show them?

Not sure what you mean - if I right click and save them on from the WIKI page they are 1KB each.

One thing I did not mention is that the filenames will be case sensitive.
I am wondering if you have changed the case of the filenames, or did you foreget to rename them to "menu_sel_box.png" and "menu_sel_box_r.png"

I will actually go though my instructions and dbl-check that they work 100%

I just went though the process without error and it worked fine for me.

I modified some of the text in the article but just to make it easier to read so you should not have had any problems from what I can see if you follow it to the letter. The filesize issue is the part I do not understand.

Ok odd. I get 22kb files if I right click and save as from the wiki.

EDIT: If I first click on the pics and then right click on the pics in the resulting wiki page it works. Wasn't clear to me at least.

Don't "Save as...", but "Save image as...".

I have updated the WIKI Article - sorry for the confusion.

Thank you very much, it worked like a charm.

what about the highlight for the "+" menus?

[iisfaq]

what about the highlight for the "+" menus?

I have had a look and the file is called

button_cm.png

this is in the folder "Popup_Menu" instead of "Menu_Lists

I have not yet updated the WIKI article but changing this file does work.

If anyone wants to provide patches like this you can create a zip file with the structure as the following one:

http://erlandapplets.googlecode.com/svn/PatchInstaller/trunk/patches/ControllerGreenHighlight/ControllerGreenHighlight-1.0.zip

The result is that a zip patch like this will in 7.5 be as easy to install as installing a applet through Applet Installer.

To do this you will need the "Patch Installer" applet I have in my testing repository, which currently is at beta stage, which makes it easy to install patches.

http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml

iisfaq, I've added all the highlighting patches on the wiki page in my own repository with your name as "creator". Let me know if you would prefer to provide them in your own repository xml file or if you would prefer that I used my own name as "creator" for some reason.

Hi Erland

This sounds really interesting. I like the idea of it as I know a lot of people do not want to go through the extra steps like in the WIKI article and having a simple patch sounds great.

One Issue right now is you have some broken XML in your repository.

RadioBiggerFont has a new <patch> tag instead of </patch>

I do not mind having it in your repository since this particular patch probably won't change other than colors.

Thanks, it should be corrected now.
