Maybe using the new include type (Isengard) ?

Code:

<include name="MyTextColor">
    <param name="textcolor" default="FFFFFFFF"/> <!--default acts like fallback-->
    <definition>
         <textcolor>$PARAM[textcolor]</textcolor>
    <definition>
</include>

and call it :

Code:

<include name="MyTextColor">
    <param name="textcolor" value="FF$INFO[Skin.String(selectedColor)]"/>
</include>

Didn't tried it so far but this should avoid the $VAR use.

Just tried... Nope.. not working either.

Ingenious Feels like I'm getting close to sorting this (with everyones wonderful help). That's got it working everywhere where I define the instances of the controls. Any idea how it could be extended to SettingsCategory.xml for example, where I just provide a default button, and so can't add [COLOR] tags into the label? Thanks again.

Up for this.

Facing (of course) the same problem.

I'm not Python coder at all but isn't it easier to allow the .xml files from Skin "colors" folder to handle $VAR or Skin.Strings. So colors can be called with their name without having to worry about controls code ? Just a though.

Thanks

Empty label2's should be fixed in todays nightly build.

Thanks for your time in this

Great! Thanks for looking into this, really appreciated.
Does this mean it's fixed for all controls that have a label2 property ? So button, edit etc.

And, by any chance is the issue with the textbox colors inside a container also fixed ?

[Jayz2K]

I can confirm all Label2 and textboxes inside containers are fixed. Textboxes have been merged and should be available in tomorrow's Jarvis dev build if I'm not wrong ?

Wow, great. So many great stuff already added in v16.

Exactly, i merged it to master and backported to Isengard branch today. It would be awesome if you guys could grab tomorrows nightly and test.

Count me in for sure

Will test tomorrow and report back

[Jayz2K]

Tried the latest Jarvis dev build. Textboxes are fine. Label2 for built-in button in control built-in grouplists too but seems that Label 2 for sliderex in those grouplists is once again not showing (ex. VideoOSDSettings). Don't know what changed since your latest test build you sent me.

Can someone confirm please ?

[mkortstiege]

Hmz, you're sure it worked in the test build?

[Jayz2K]

I tried it on another computer. I have to install this build on the one I use today. But I'm pretty sure it worked. Will report when back Home.

[mkortstiege]

Jayz2k, mind sharing a VideoOSDSettings so i am able to test and reproduce?

[Jayz2K]

You can still use the modded Conq file I sent you through PM (the second one).
