I'm currently converting the textures to white so their colours can easily be changed in the same way as the backgrounds and text by adding a diffuse colour to them.

Here's a quick test from earlier made simply by changing three colour tags.





Obviously I'm not great when it comes to choosing colours but this gives you an idea of just how easy it'll be to customise.

You should use the Alaska Night mod by cf2009 as one of the options...it's pretty much badass

I was intrigued by your color schemes, so I made one of my own. This is the first real modding I've done of any skin, and I think it turned out pretty well.

If you want to add it in, great. If not, then just consider it an example of what CAN be done

I call it Khaki

Work's still got to be done on converting all the frames and media flags before any colour schemes can be considered. Also, you'll need to look at changing the text colours as well but I'm glad it's working as intended.

Yeah, I had to change everything manually, but I like the way it turned out. It was just a matter of changing the codes, and then changing the hue and saturation of the pngs in Photoshop.

If it can be simplified, that's great - but it's not that hard to do now. I like that

Good work, lots of potential in this.


Way too early for feature requests but different colours for different sections is something that springs to mind. For example:
- TV - Blue
- Movies - Gold
- Music - Red

Yeah, very nice feature!

Excuse me for asking, but is there a way to remove the square around the studio flag?

Just delete the studioframe.png.

you know what might be badass? If it could fade from one theme to another....kinda like how AEON sorta shifted when you went from one section to another (Movies->TV->Music....)

I'm just...you know, throwing that out there Hitcher Not that I'd probably use it though, except for eye candy, I'm a HUGE FAN of minimalism, and the white/grey/black is really sick....think I'll probably leave it this way for.....ever...unless some sick ass color themes come out.

oh ok, i saw that before, thought the mod was actually posted in here.

I've added a color to manipulate the gradient behind the mainmenu text. Otherwise this will always be bright and make dark themes pretty much impossible. I also removed the shadows around the fanart/mainmenu images.

Happy modding.

It can be found here --> http://github.com/cf2009/Alaska-Night

It hasn't been updated for a while.
