Changing text colour

[TheeBeets]

Well you know how u have certian applications that you want to install it appears that the text is allways right I wanted to know how to make it a green colour light or dark doesnt really matter but if someone could tell me that would be gr8. I think it has something to do with CSS?

@TheeBeets I'm using an earlier version of WPI. In my case I can change the general font color by editing 'wpi.css' found in the Common directory:

body
{
	background-color: #cdddf5;
	font-family: arial;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-color: #000000;
	margin: 0px;
}

The hex value: #000000; produces black.

If you want to change the Category Headers color, then you need to edit 'wpi.css' here:

.category
{
	font-family: tahoma;
	font-weight: bold;
	color      : #18339f;
	font-size  : 9pt;
	margin-left: 5px;
	margin-right: 10px;
	margin-top: 10px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
}

To change the line color drawn under the Category Header, you need to edit a different file called 'boxes.js' found in the Scripts directory:

 {
  	txt += ('<div class="category" color="red">' + cat[i][0] + '</div><hr align=\"left\" width=77% color=\"18339F\">');
  	oldcat = cat[i][0];
  	cats += 2;
  }

"color=\"18339F\"" is what you are after, again using hex values. You can get a good sense of this whole hex business HERE. Hope this helps.

i change only the front colors .

prog[pn]=['<font color="#00FFFF">NAV 2003   _(s)</font>']

or <font color=darkgreen> .... not quite the real colors

<font color=lightblue> is starting the color , </font> ending it

@oneless I tried that awhile back with my version of WPI and--I am not making this up--the RunOnce window did not appear when the install started. All of my apps installed correctly, but the actual list of apps did not show up. When I removed the HTML tags from the titles, all returned to normal. Is this your experience?

[oneless]

no . i cant help you here.

i use WPI only as a separate_CD for now

is not in my intentions to include it in my uA_XP_CD .

i refresh my uA_XP once a month , after MS_patch_day,

and my WPI_CD once a week .

so , for me , the single difference between WPI included in uA_XP_CD or not

is just an extra eject to the optical drive , on the other hand

       i have more space ,

       i can use WPI_CD on more computers even with XP installed,

       testing it more times ,

       more up to date stuff there .... ,

       i can use an application without silent/uA switces

       and i can use colors ... this is a joke , of course .

i am sure that are more advantages vs. one minor : an eject_CD

but this is just an opinion .

if i miss some other reasons , you can share them...

No, I think you covered them all. I also use WPI as a separate install CD:

I might try tagging the titles again with my next burn, sure would be great if it worked for me.

@TheeBeets Any luck yet?

[TheeBeets]

No blinkdt

Hmmm, what's up? Do you have the 'main.css' and 'boxes.js' files in your WPI version?
