UMM Color?!
« on: March 31, 2009, 04:05:04 PM »
Does anyone know what file(s) to change the color to the Unified Main Menu or the Boarders in QB?

It's not UMM (or QB) specific (not yet anyway).

But take a look at the various GUI mods, they all alter loadinterface.py which has a method called "SetupColors" (or something like that).
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

It's the SetupColors function, I find the names of the colours (all starting with App.g_k) pretty descriptive.

But you are right, you will have to keep trying. But in the end you will find the logic in them (get insight to).

you can also pick colors with the custom color palette in paint or any other image editing software, the palette will usually tell you the RGB values of any given color, those can be transposed into the code.

I think the main problem is/was that the names may seem a bit odd when you first look at them, you don't know where they might go.

This can now be (more easily) done with ChameleonBC, early access at this forum (it's not entirely done yet).
