Re: Automatic Color Change.
Not only, as CyberTheWorm said, you're trying to change the color at an image, but Position=On Desktop is wrong.
Using a bang it's !ZPos, however, I think you're trying to set the position of the skin "On desktop" and this is done with right click on the skin and then Manage skin.

Re: Automatic Color Change.
CyberTheWorm's probably right, you can't change the color of an image (or maybe within some limits you could, using the ColorMatrix options, but that's too complicated and probably doesn't even worth).Leon James wrote:hy guyzz......i need to change the border colour automatically.....please help me to change its colour.....i dont know the codding of the skins.......
But depending on the incriminated image, maybe it could be replaced with a Shape meter. Please first post the border 1366x768.png image, to can see if I'm right and it really could be replaced by a proper Shape meter.

Re: Automatic Color Change.
No balala, I know it very well, it's a border image all around the desktop, the center is transparent.
I doubt you can change the color of only one portion of it.
The Shape meter is (almost) doable, you need to fill the internal of the border with some gradients...
Edit, if you want to try...

Re: Automatic Color Change.
Well, that indeed looks complicated enough to not worth to create it with a Shape meter. I didn't know the image, that's why at a first look I though maybe a properly created Shape meter could help, but it seems it can't.fonpaolo wrote:No balala, I know it very well, it's a border image all around the desktop, the center is transparent.

I have to admit that if someone had done it for me, he would've saved me to do it myself in future... and it's not only one!

Re: Automatic Color Change.
You could use the Chameleon plugin and ImageTint to automatically color the image based on your wallpaper:fonpaolo wrote:No balala, I know it very well, it's a border image all around the desktop, the center is transparent.

Re: Automatic Color Change.
Well eclectic-tech, using the ImageTint option seems a good idea. I never used it, in those few cases when I tried to achieve something like this, I tried with ColorMatrix, but it seemed complicated enough to renounce very soon.eclectic-tech wrote:You could use the Chameleon plugin and ImageTint to automatically color the image based on your wallpaper:
My conclusion, again: there's always something new to be learned.

Re: Automatic Color Change.
Thanks eclectic-tech for the suggestion, I had also thought about it, but I never used it and I was thinking it would've changed the color of the whole skin, regardless of the transparent parts.
