Sorry, I forget. How do I do that?

What? Posting the link? With copy - paste (copy the url from FileFactory and paste it here)! But you've done this previously.

CSNO is stored/reaset by the Scheme(1-4).inc files. PGMLauncher Includes them in VariablesM2.inc by LeftMouseUpAction at lines 2532 and subs. Doesn't that do it?

It's a complicated skin to see all that's happening, but I'm still have the impression that CSNO variable is not properly set. The skin can't use its value. Eg if I add to RGBScr1.ini a string meter with

Code: Select all

Text=#CSNO#
DynamicVariables=1

it shows #CSNO#, instead of a numerical value. In my opinion, that's what you'll have to check.

@Bill98

To get your color schemes working, you need to create a new variable in 'VariablesM2.inc' and use that as the control for color schemes, and change the @include="...".

Code: Select all

[Variables]
CSNum=1
@Include="#@#Scheme#CSNum#.inc"

Now in the PGMLauncher skin, replace the selection meters for all 8 schemes, starting at line 2532, with these:

Code: Select all

[ColorScheme1]
Meter=Image
Y=45r
X=-183R
W=18
H=18
;SolidColor=255,0,0,255
LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables CSNum 1 "#@#VariablesM2.inc"][!ReFresh]
Group=ColorSch
Hidden=1

[ColorScheme2]
Meter=Image
Y=0r
X=29R
W=20
H=20
LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables CSNum 2 "#@#VariablesM2.inc"][!Refresh]
Group=ColorSch
Hidden=1

[ColorScheme3]
Meter=Image
Y=0r
X=27R
W=20
H=20
LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables CSNum 3 "#@#VariablesM2.inc"][!Refresh]
Group=ColorSch
Hidden=1

[ColorScheme4]
Meter=Image
Y=0r
X=27R
W=20
H=20
LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables CSNum 4 "#@#VariablesM2.inc"][!Refresh]
Group=ColorSch
Hidden=1

[ColorScheme5]
Meter=Image
Y=31r
X=-162R
W=20
H=20
;SolidColor=255,0,0,255
LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables CSNum 5 "#@#VariablesM2.inc"][!ReFresh]
Group=ColorSch
Hidden=1

[ColorScheme6]
Meter=Image
Y=0r
X=27R
W=20
H=20
;SolidColor=255,0,0,255
LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables CSNum 6 "#@#VariablesM2.inc"][!Refresh]
Group=ColorSch
Hidden=1

[ColorScheme7]
Meter=Image
Y=0r
X=27R
W=20
H=20
;SolidColor=255,0,0,255
LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables CSNum 7 "#@#VariablesM2.inc"][!Refresh]
Group=ColorSch
Hidden=1

[ColorScheme8]
Meter=Image
Y=0r
X=27R
W=20
H=20
;SolidColor=255,0,0,255
LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables CSNum 8 "#@#VariablesM2.inc"][!Refresh]
Group=ColorSch
Hidden=1

Now color schemes are working (for me).

A few things I changed:
Whenever you refer to '#@#...' ALWAYS enclose that in quotations; "#@#Variablesm2.inc"
Everywhere in your code, try to use "" around any path to a file.

The reason your code was not working was due to trying to change the '@include=' thinking it was a variable... it is NOT a variable, as in 'KEYWORD=VALUE'. It is a special command that inserts lines of code from another file.

What I did was to create a variable 'CSNum', change that variable's value in the LeftMouse actions, and use that in the @include...
@include="#@#Scheme#CSNum#.inc"

Let us know if you are still having problems changing the color scheme.

Aside: You include 33+Megabits of icons... making the rmskin over 34 Megabits!... Not to many people will want to download something that large. Consider selecting fewer icons to include in your final release...

[bill98]

Thanks a million for all the good advice. I forgot all about that Icon file. I will make the changes and try to understand too.

[bill98]

I finished all the changes and it works better than I ever thought it would!! I have several anomalies that are probably caused by something I did. I just wanted to know if they worked ok on your copy. Screen Colors Pg1, 2nd rectangle-Computer, FontColor is white, S/B Black. Yellow rectangle above Curve BG Colors label, text looks green, S/B Black. Rectangle above that 2 of 3 item texts look blue, S/B White. The 2 rectangles below title Curve BG Colors have white text, S/B black. Screen Colors Pg2, bottom rectangle, text ix missing, probably black, S/B white.

Thanks again for your invaluable help.

[bill98]

Forget it, I found the extension on Bankimage missing, corrected in ana now all works well. Thanks again.

[bill98]

On the RGBLD\RGBTLD.ini file, I tried to change the point where fonts become light/dark(Value 387). I can make it any number and it seems to have no effect on anything. Why?

[bill98]

I still don't believe the fontcolor change routine is working. It seems to work on the first background color{Black} and keep the fontcolor white for all subsequent records(Never turning Black). How can I make the color change routine work on all records? Also, I am getting a Cal:Syntax Error on [MeasureColor].
