Changing text colour on Squeezeplay.

[Imagewerx]

I've got a mainly light coloured home screen/wallpaper which makes it difficult to read the standard white text.I can't see anywhere in the included menu options to do this,so is there a way with WINscp to do this so I can try different colours?

Beyond me, I'm afraid. Probably better to ask on the slimdevices forum under Squeezeplay.

Ok thanks anyway.I'd guess that somewhere the colour must be stored in hex format.

It'll be in the WVGA skin - but it's likely specified more than once for different screen types, so you may need to do a lot of search and replace!

Thanks for that,is there a WVGA folder I should be looking for,or is it inside of something else?

Code: Select all

/opt/squeezeplay/share/jive/applets/WVGAsmallSkin

Is where it's at.

Ok then.I find a couple of references to text colour on that page. This one.....

local TEXT_COLOR = { 0xE7, 0xE7, 0xE7 } (I don't recognise that as normal hex colour format)

And......

fg = TEXT_COLOR,

Am I getting close?

It's been a long time, so your guess is as good as mine; but it looks like you're on the right track!

Am I looking for the colour in hex code,i.e. as the text is white some where it'll have '#ffffff',or is it in a different format to that?

The one you found before is in hex - just generic raw hex. The text might not be pure white, so 0xE7 might be the one to twiddle with. Try 0x8D, 0x1C, 0x14 and you will get a colour called Falu Red. Popular in Sweden for barns, apparently.
