Hi

Sry if this question has been asked before...
How can I change the background from white to black in the left frame where the move thumbnails are in JeF's script?

Hi Lillegolle,

Unfortunately, for technical reasons, SidePane doesn't support css for now. This is a know limitation and i think dev team has already it in the whish list.
(My work around is to mostly use (almost) full screen mode)

JeF

Here is a screenshot. Tell me what you think...
A black left frame here, and it's perfect for late night movie watching in a dark room. Ask gizmo

Yes, nice alternative theme. Did you customize full theme ? If so, and if you agree, i could merge it in my Pictures.zip to share with next JeF package release. What's your opinion ?

JeF

Sounds great:) But I didn't do a full theme... I just painted the blue .gif images black and changed the colors in your script file. Replaced some +GetIndianColor with static color. So you need to change them back to work with a new theme. I can send you the cript file and .gif's as they are if you want?

Nice, could be a hammer

BTW I have an off topic question since we are on this subject:

Jeff, your blue theme is also very nice but when (if) are you going to do the left side of the screen too ?
and a second question while I am at it, coould you make a greenish theme also ? (the green color that another movie database uses) because green is an very comforting color for the eyes and since many users are spending many hours on their database it's pretty much expected that their eyes would appreciate such a greenish color very much

Hi estate,

Black theme is in progress, starting from the idea/work of Lillegolle.

This is currently not possible, due to a technical pb (time consuming) for left pane to fully support css. This is a known pb and i think Dev team already has that topic in the wish list (as i'm an extra, i coud only wait or make/use a work around like using "(almost) full screen mode").

Could you PM me a link to that(these) color(s) (screenshot of that other movie db) ?

JeF

Can you tell when and if this script is going to be finalized ? and when the left panel is able to obay the rules of css so it's color and appearance can be the same as the rest of your nice templates ? I'd like to run the black on v3.x (latest) because all other ones are so .... sorry...... ugly

Yes, left pane isn't completly skined... There's still a little pb with a blank line between each item (from main program, so it can't be removed at the moment).
if you want to get now the current rendered version (without waiting v21), just copy paste the lines below in total replacement of the content of file [Movinizer_install_dir]\Pictures\Themes\IndianBlack\Thumb_Movie.html :

Current render :



To Vlad: Could this '<br>' (i guess) be moved to be a part of thumbmovie2 function instead of main program ? Thanks in advance.
-> please forget it : fixed now

JeF

tested it and must say looks good, just a few things though.

The characters in the left panel are way too big ( I guess it's about 14 px ) could bring it down to 10 or perhaps 9 px


For the rest it looks good except for the white line you mentioned, could it be that this can be adjusted in the css file or the table attributes ?
