This is pretty great! The things we can do with this plugin...

Trying to change a bitmap color with " ImageTint=[Accent1] " and is not working.

Code: Select all

;---ColorExtract

[MeasureColorParent]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ColorExtract
ImagePath=[MeasureCover]
DynamicVariables=1

[BackgroundColor]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ColorExtract
ParentMeasure=[MeasureColorParent]
ColorType=Background

[Accent1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ColorExtract
ParentMeasure=[MeasureColorParent]
ColorType=Accent1

[Accent2]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ColorExtract
ParentMeasure=[MeasureColorParent]
ColorType=Accent2

;---LightMeter

[Light]
Meter=Bitmap
MeasureName=measureAudioOut_RMS_L
X=0
Y=0
BitmapImage=#@#Light.png
Greyscale=1
ImageTint=[Accent1]
BitmapFrames=5
BitmapExtend=1
AntiAlias=1

You need DynamicVariables=1 on the meter.

Can't belive I forgot about that

Thanks,

I am testing out the demo skin(https://github.com/QuietMisdreavus/PluginColorExtract) but The head, background, and body only update when i refresh the skin although the image updates as soon as I change it. Anybody know how to refresh the rest automatically?

does anyone know of a way to remove the transparency section from these values? i have have been toying with webparser, but if any of the RGB values are 255 it seems to mess with it as the transparency is always 255 (ie 123,456,789,255)

any help would be awesome, and if someone has this figured out already, great!

Simply remove the last number (255): 123,456,789.
But take care that the values used into a color code usually have to be less or at most equal with 255. Having larger values isn't a great problem, but those values are reduced, to less than 255. Eg the 123,456,789 is the same as 123,(456-255),(789-3*255) = 123,201,24.

To be honest I never encountered a such problem.

i understand they are never higher than 255. anything beyond that is actually counted as 255. i used those numbers as examples. but how exactly do you remove the last value? so if it's rrr,ggg,bbb,ttt then how would you remove the ",ttt" from that value?

As I said, leaving just rrr,ggg,bbb. 100,150,200,255 is the same as 100,150,200.
