Hello,

I am currently updating AZ:R to Nexus and would like to replace the ColorPicker addon with the new Skin.SetColor function. If I specify a custom color list:

<onclick>Skin.SetColor(focuscolor.name, $LOCALIZE[31695],,special://skin/extras/colors/colors.xml)</onclick>

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

<colors>

    <color name="">ffb3e0ff</color>

    <color name="">ffb2f0ff</color>

    <color name="">ffb3ffff</color>

    <color name="">ffb3fff0</color>

    <color name="">ffb4ffe0</color>

    <color name="">ffb3ffd1</color>

    <color name="">ffb4fec3</color>

    <color name="">ffb3ffb4</color>

    <color name="">ffc2ffb2</color>

    <color name="">ffd1ffb4</color>

    <color name="">ffe0ffb3</color>

    <color name="">fff1ffb4</color>

    <color name="">ffe0e0e0</color><!-- This is the 1st color shown in the panel -->

    <color name="">fffeff99</color>

    <color name="">ffffeb9a</color>

    <color name="">fffed699</color>

</colors>

however, the colors are not displayed in order as they are in colors.xml, but imho randomly. Is this normal behavior and I have to live with it? Or will there still be an adjustment here?

Not used this feature yet, so just a random idea.

Are the colours ordered by name and you've left all the name fields empty? Try naming them 1,2,3.... and so on.

Nothing seems to work, but thank you.

[roidy]

Yep, looking at:- https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...colors.xml

and then the subtitle color picker in the Estuary skin it does appear to be random

[realcopacetic]

I'm colourblind so apologies if I'm off, but are they listed in some sort of rgb/hex order. That screenshot seems to show them in gradient order rather than random.

Maybe @ronie can help?

looking at the source code, the colours are indeed sorted by hue, saturation and lightness.

Will there be a sort order method available in the future, maybe?
