For instance, if you are changing a graphical element that has only red (ie: it has 0 in its green and blue channels), no matter the poxition of the green and blue sliders, it will not change anything in the element. To get an accurate result, you should select a previous source color that is approximately the average color of the graphical element you are tweaking. The color you see above each slider is the color you get for a pixel that has the “Preview source color” values for its color channels.
FAQ 9 says: "Why is the resulting color for the graphical element not the color that I see above each slider? Picking the right gammagroup is still a guess when the name does not obviously relate to the element it is for.Ģ. My Bento is under invertention too I think I now know enough to start 'playing' with the Color Editor, but it seems a lot like a different kind of 'trial and error'. PS: My Color Editor is modded, so you may have your buttons on a different place. You can use the "Export" option to save your themes, but just for the sake of security I recommend you make sure you saved your color edits and close Winamp from time to time, specially when working with a lot of color themes, since a Winamp crash can make you lose all the changes. There's a workaround but it's a bit more complex. YOU CAN'T clone a custom theme (the new ones you make), it will reverse to default values. You can change that name after you clone it (Right click > Rename) When cloning use a single number for the new theme.
You can use the sliders or go for a radical option ticking "Saturate channels" (as pointed on the screenshot).Ĭolor editor is awesome but buggy on last versions, so there is a couple of tips to keep in mind: On the right column, go to "Titlebar" and change the color there, as needed. This is important due to a bug on the app that makes it crash when you use large or alphabetical names when cloning. And for a new name PUT A SINGLE NUMBER (like "5", anything).
Right click on the skin you want to modify
You have 2 ways to do that, but I'll cover the Color editor option (I understand you already installed it no?) since it's easier (and way wayyyy more fun):
