| | Posted: | | | | Is there any way to change the foregroung/background color of Overviews in the standard layout from White text on Black background to Black text on White background (as it was before 3.0)?  I never cared for the color scheme for Easter eggs, either, but I can avoid that tab since I rarely care about Easter eggs. The overview is a different mater, however. PS: Wasn't there a spell checker available in the IVS forums? There isn't one here, but I thought we had one before. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | Right-click for the context menu to set foreground and background color.
If you also want to change the font, you can create an HTML section and use it instead of the original overview (or notes/eastereggs) window, e.g.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
BODY { font: 8pt/12pt Verdana; }
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<DP NAME="OVERVIEW">
</BODY>
</HTML>
Note that you can use docking and tabbing for HTML sections in the same way as you do with the regular windows. | | | | Matthias | | | | Last edited: by goodguy |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks, Skip & Matthias. I didn't think to try that. Silly me to overlook the obvious!  | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | If I want to use the same background color like f.e. in the general info field (Invelos Default) for a self made HTML overview (thank you goodguy) what color coding would that be?

bgcolor=? The General Info field...? Well, it depends which color theme you have loaded.... You can find out the colors by yourself  Got to the addicted2dvd's TV Series Episode Guides. Scroll down a bit and look for "Achim's Colour Detector program" (yep, that's me; but I diodn't write it, it's just freeware suggested by me). Download and unzip... | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | That was very helpful, thank you very much.
If I now want the color to be from a darker blue to a lighter blue like in the Invelos Default Layout, does anybody how to do that in HTML? |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, looks like I was able to define a background image similar to the one on the referenced page. But I just can't put it into the right code... |

[CompletePathToGradientImageHere] Xyrano: If I wanted that to use the DP_ProgramPathDatabase variable given by DVD Profiler, how would I do that? I think I need a script for that, but I have no idea how to integrate it in the code itself. Would you mind helping me? |

Would you mind helping me? Sure, I can do that, but I'm not convinced that it works to a local file (it's been a while since I've dealt with that), I'll test it, brb Edit Jupp, that worked!

var image = DP_ProgramPathDatabase + "Bilar.jpg"; That's not necessary, just add your picture to the "Images" tab and add it directly to your CSS: Quote:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
BODY {
font: 8pt/12pt Verdana;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-image:url($DPIMAGES.Bilar.jpg);
}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<DP NAME="OVERVIEW">
</BODY>
</HTML>
And you don't need the Header_Vars if you use the <DP NAME="OVERVIEW"> tag... | | |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the help! Works great now! Still need to tweak the background image itself a little, but it's doing what I want!  And for the curious, here's a look at what I was trying to do  I know, I know, nothing earth shattering, but I'm taking my first steps at sort-of web design, so ... oh and Xyrano, thanks for the link to the CSS tutorial!  | | | | Last edited: by RossRoy |
