i cant get these to actually change colors its staying a grey color which i cant see on black

    
    theme.SpringboardActorColor  = "#FFFFFF"
    theme.SpringboardRuntimeColor  = "#FFFFFF"
    theme.SpringboardGenreColor  = "#FFFFFF"

its strange cause this works:


    theme.SpringboardTitleText  = "#FFFFFF"
    theme.SpringboardSynopsisText  = "#FFFFFF"

still no good on this, anyone have any input on how to change the colors?

also its not displaying Director or rating image, and yes i have read over the docs and looked at the other examples, and honestly it should be showing as far as i can see but its not

i looked at eztakes and its showing there but not on mine

Have you tried Text instead of Color?

theme.SpringboardActorText  = "#FFFFFF"
theme.SpringboardRuntimeText  = "#FFFFFF"
theme.SpringboardGenreText  = "#FFFFFF"

It may be a typo in the documentation.

And not quite everything is capable of being set to custom colors just yet.

6

that makes sense, i tried the “text” as well but no good…

Just tested those three theme parameters, and they are working fine for me… Looking at the previous question you had, I think you may have just forgotten to call setDescriptionStyle(“movie”) on your springboard. Without setting the description style the actors, runtime, and genre aren’t displayed at all…


theme.SpringboardActorColor  = "#FF0000"
theme.SpringboardRuntimeColor  = "#FF0000"
theme.SpringboardGenreColor  = "#FF0000"
....

screen = CreateObject("roSpringboardScreen")
screen.setDescriptionStyle("movie")

Strange thing was when you set to movie and not video it changes some of the other colors…

But Videos is a better option anyways, since i have no movies…

How is it possible to change the color of the keyboard scree where you set the title?

I have tried every combo but its still grey which is not good on this grey back ground i have

10

On roSearchScreen, the title theme color is:

theme.SearchHeaderText = “#0000FF”

On roKeyboardScreen, there is not title and the label under the text entry box is not currently skinnable.

I am using the Keyboard screen actually I tried a few different combos but no good

theme.KeyboardDisplayText

is one of them.

12

The title or label is not skinnable on the keyboard screen.

ok thanks…

i tried adding “put your message here” but then they have to delete it

I think this needs addressed in the new .sdk or has it been? because i still can’t get these colors changed, which if you have a grey or dark screen back you cant see the displayText and the Title Text is about in the same boat.
