Change BG or text colour of Library window?

Post by ladlon »

For some reason, both the text and the background of the Library window are both black, making it impossible to read, unless I highlight an item.

I had been editing the UI colours (as I found the tool icons were hard to see in daylight against the default background. I have been trying (seemingly) every palette item in the colour editor, but I can't seem to find the ones that relate to the Library window.

That's actually a suggestion I made... A better UI colour editor, where you could click on the actual UI item you wish to change, and it selects the appropriate swatch/item in the editor... as it's hard to guess what each target item is named in the editor, and you often have to just go through a few of them, changing the colours and seeing if they are the one(s) you want (...sometimes requiring a full software restart).

I found it hard to find a good colour combo that allowed for high contrast between ALL the text/tools and their backgrounds. It seems that some text/icons are light, while others are dark, yet they seem to also share the single background colour, meaning that any adjustment to the background colour results in improvement in one area, but worsens others. Maybe I'm just having bad luck with it, or am missing something here, but I seem to be going in circles, improving one thing while worsening another seemingly with a single change.... Plus, ya, that black on black happening in the Library window.

Anyone know if the Library text and/or background can be altered, and if so, what item is it in the editor?

As far as I can see, the 'WindowBackground' and 'Text' colours are used for the library, but you do need to re-start Anime Studio for them to take effect.

Toggling `/~ should also refresh the GUI colors.
