POIFinder appearance

How difficult would it be to apply the Fetish style to the POI Finder window?

I just started using POI Finder and it's an excellent addon, but it would be nice if I could get the window for it to match the rest of my interface.

I have done it but I don't know how happy you will be with it.

I would like to have been able to change the background to dark like FetishNightFall but the included scrollpage.xml has color codes for each text element. These colors don't show up very well on a dark background. I would prefer to set them to LightBlue's and Yellow's like the Journal entries are colored.

It would not be difficult to change the colors the first time with a search and replace, but updated files would overwrite those changes (I assume).

If you would like to give my attempt at skinning for FetishNightFall you can pick it up here.

If the authors of POIFinder can provide a Style sheet for element colors, it would make skinning much easier. Not sure if that is possible given the current design.

Cheers.

That is already the case, change the text color attributes in the HREF buttonstyle found in scrollpage.xml and you are good to go. The scrollpage only gets updated when new zones are released, so it does not need to be updated often, but I suppose the style could be moved out of that file to avoid changing it entirely.

I saw that information in the scrollpage.xml and was tempted to change it. However, the zone files such as adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_0.xml have color codes for each text element such as location, monsters, etc.

Changing all of those files with search and replace would get the text set to the color to contrast on the dark background, but I was worried that the POIFinder updater would overwrite these.

Can TextStyles sheets be setup for Text elements to override the local color code?

Oh ok, forgot about the headlines. For text there is no possibility to define color via a style. Zonx has been pushing for general color styles for a long time already and Rothgar at one point posted that it was in the works, but that's over half a year ago again.

I guess we could convert the headlines into disabled buttons as well so they are skinnable, maybe send TreeMOS a PM about it.
