Clock G2 - Skin Details
Normally you should use the Skin
Setup Tab to
edit skins. If you are interested in the layout of the skin system,
here are a few details:
All of the skins for Clock
G2 are stored in the Skins folder where the program was installed.
By default, this folder is located at:
C:\Program Files\Clock G2\Skins
To create a new skin manually, create a new folder at this
location. Now create 2 different bitmap files. One is used for
the background, and the other is used for the foreground. These
files are called:
Foreground.bmp
Background.bmp
These files can be of any bit depth or number of
colors. You can also create an optional file called Skin.ini.
If either of the two bitmaps above do not exist, Clock G2 will look at
this file to determine what solid color should be used. Here is a
sample of a Skin.ini file.
[Colors]
Background=0x000000
Hilight=0xC0DEDB
Shadow=0x0D8B7E
Face=0x26CEBC
Text=0x6126CE
If Foreground.bmp does not exist, then 0x26CEBC will be
used as the foreground color. This number is a hexadecimal
representation of the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values of the color.
These colors can be chosen within most paint programs, and the listed RGB
value can be pasted into the Skin.ini file. Don't forget the leading
"0x" before hex number.
Once these files have been created, you can then select the
skin from the Setup dialog of Clock G2. The name of the skin will be
the name of the folder you created.
