I am using the PixOS Skin
I have found how to change the Font Size.
I cannot see how to change the Font colour from default black to my OS system colour of Navy Blue.
Thanks,

Go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 18\Skins\Standard View
in the pixos folder there's an xml called main.xml open it with wordpad
in the section list u can change color but some other areas can be changed too here's the section

Code: [Select]

<LIST>
	<[color=red]Colors Text="1b1b1b"[/color] Back="efefef" SelectedText="000000" SelectedBack="8EC473" Current="000000" CurrentBack="b5acc8" />
	<Entry Name="HeaderBar" Bitmap="List_HeaderBar.bmp" Margins="0,1,1,1" NumberImages="3" TextColor="000000" />
	<Entry Name="BrowseHeaderBar" Bitmap="List_BrowseHeaderBar.bmp" Margins="2,1,2,1" />
        <Entry Name="Selection" Bitmap="List_Selection.png" NumberImages="3" Columns="4,?-Flex,4" Rows="4,?-Flex,4,?-Flex,4" />
	<Entry Name="Rating" Bitmap="List_Rating.png" NumberImages="3" />
</LIST>

@kurushi, thanks for your clear and concise instructions.
Trouble is I've no coding skills so I have no idea what to change.
I suppose the colour Black is specified by the 000000 [Colors SelectedText="ffffff" Text="000000"]
Any idea exactly what it should say in order to display Navy Blue/Dark Blue Text.

For the exact color in html there's some software for to know the code, like gimp per eg
But simply attach a screenshot of you're color wanted and i 'll give you the code

Oddly Black is the absense of Color (000000) White is all Colors (FFFFFF) sorta makes sense. each pair represents Red Green Blue all Red would be FF0000, Green 00FF00 etc. Grey 333333

if you don't know how to convert colors to hex representations, try using a tool such as ColorCop. It is very handy to convert what you see into hex codes.

rgb are allowed too (RED GREEN BLUE) and can be entered this way too ex: 102536 (10% red 25%green 36% red)
But if u want a quick exact color matching you're os try colorcop like suggested by MC or any other soft for to pick a color and to give you the code

All good answers here - I'm out of my depth with this so a steep learning curve is in front of me.
Thanks for your help

kurushi · « **Reply #8 on:** April 05, 2013, 12:01:27 pm »

about the color text for the list it's the first one
<Colors Text="1b1b1b" Back="efefef" SelectedText="000000" SelectedBack="8EC473" Current="000000" CurrentBack="b5acc8" />
the red didn't appear in code bracket there's other fonts in the soft that can be changed too like the tree per eg...

I tried replacing some of the 'text color' values and it just erased PixOS from my options of skins.
