Hitcher,
In the new Night theme, when pressing 'i' during a movie the plot is shown as white text on white/gray background which isn't that great for readability.

If you read back a bit you'll see I was experimenting with it and didn't mean to upload it.

If someone wants to go through it and change anything I've missed they're welcome. Wink

Hopefully you guys will like the new way I'm doing things. This is using some of Fusion's backgrounds for testing purposes only -

Two thumbs up! When you're ready to release the code that allows the background graphics, I'll be all over it!

Hitcher,

I am going through it setting by setting making a change and then looking to see how it effects Alaska. I am also adding more comments to the .xml file to make it easier for others to see what really needs to be changed. Obviously this is for color schemes only not themes as I am not messing with any of the textures.

Actually - let me know before it comes out, and I'll DL the source, so I can update my XBT file to make mine a true colour theme.

Cheers, appreciate it.

And to everyone else - I was only using those backgrounds to test how they worked/looked across the skin so they wont be in any update.

I'm planning to have the background.png in the media folder so it will work for themes.

Done and done. I'll update my XBT accordingly.
