As the title says, I wonder how. I set the default Clarity theme and the background of Media Player becomes gray. When I create my own theme, it becomes black with white fonts. But, to my surprise, with my another theme I make, the font becomes pink. Then, I applied Floral theme of Z750i, the background is pink flower wallpaper with pink font. I just don't know which elements of Themes Creator that contribute much in this case. Anybody can enlighten me a bit about this? |

To control te colour schemes of the media player you need to:
- create every other aspect of the theme you want using theme creater then save it to a .thm file
- change the .thm extension to a .tar extension (to view the file extension in windows you may need to change the folder viewing otions)
- using a .tar extractor/complier app, extract the .xml file from the theme.tar and open it in notepad
- edit the hex code colours near the bottom of the .xml sheet in notepad and save (you can find the appropriate colour codes ver easily if you google it)
- recompile the .tar with all the other files
- rename the file extasion to .thm
That should sort you out. If you need .tar apps you can google them quite easily. There are plenty of free or unlimited trial shareware apps out there.

media walkman particle colour that is what you want right click theme.xml edit then change what you want..
and then download 7zip (you can use to extract from the start)
and compress them all to a tar file and then just change the extension to .thm!!
You can Also edit many others like media backround..

Have a look for the program TUGZIP and 7Zip for decompiling and recomiling. You might also find this thread useful. It doesn't talk specifically about editing the media player colour scheme but talks about the compiling/decompiling process. If you PM me your email address and I will send you one or two useful files.
Edit: don't PM me, just go to the websites on my post below and download the apps yourselves.

The problem with the corrupt .thm files is because you've not used tugzip to recompile the .tar before changing the extension back to .thm. You can download tugzip from www.tugzip.com and 7-zip from www.7-zip.org. Hope this helps.

I believe tugzip is what you need to compile the .tar. That's what I used the one time that I did this a couple of weeks ago.
