Create your own themes through XML

[n99hockey]

why do you have this code?

<default target-width="240" target-height="320" font-face="Segoe Condensed" font-size="19" font-weight="bold" padding-left="5" padding-right="5" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" padding-top="3" b-border-color="COLOR_HOMERULE" b-border-width="1">
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTTEXT"/>
</default>

what does that do for you?

It's the default code for one of the themes already installed on the Q. It all refers to the color scheme doesn't it?

edit:
wait a sec...try this...

<default target-width="240" target-height="320" font-face="Segoe Condensed" font-size="19" font-weight="normal" padding-left="5" padding-right="5" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="transparent" padding-top="3" b-border-color="COLOR_HOMERULE" b-border-width="1">
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT">
</default>

this xml code shouldnt refernce another homescreen...remove it and see what happens

Pardon my stupidity, by I'm not seeing where it's referencing another scheme. This is the 'defaults' code that I saw in every tutorial about making your own theme so I figured I had to put it in there. Without it, I'm pretty sure it won't display due to the fact that it contains the resolution for the screen. If I could, I'd delete the reference to the other scheme, but I'm not seeing it.

This got nothing to do with the color scheme !

This part (the <default> tag) defines standard xml values, which will be taken in every other tag if not specified another way.
For example, if you set the font-size to 20 in the default tag, the font will be size 20 in every other plugin if not set different in the specific plugin.

Hope it's understandable.

Sure you can. But it won't work in the xml file. You will need to work with the registry hacks.
