Description: Mycolors is a CSS theme for the context panel of amarok, a media player for KDE. It will work with >=amarok1.beta4. Amarok 1.2.2 introduced a GUI to install context styles, use it.Last changelog:
> > 02/25/2006 (screenshots NOT updated): Fixed album title clashing the album info when the title was big.
> > 02/24/2006 (screenshots NOT updated): Changed the album info, it wasn't very clear. Thx to HobbitHK.
> > 12/01/2005: Removed cdcover effect, it didn't look right with the cover shadow used in amarok (commented). Fixed home tab when using albums instead of songs for statistics. Fixed shadow in album tracklist. Fixed lyrics tab. Fixed score bar when the song was too wide
> > 05/16/2005: Yet another [nice] effect: cd-box borders in the current album and in the albums list. Keep in mind that this is can introduce new bugs and that this styles will break on a SVN build. (P don't take the screenshots as the real look because I'm having some pbm with the font size)
> > 04/26/2005: On mouse over the songs change the style of scorebar. See screenshots! Rewrote a lot of styles. Eeverything is now much more clear than before.
> > 03/19/2005: Fixed typo in css (thx seb) Added shadows and some "user options", see decription.
> > 03/15/2005: Fixed favorite tracks box in amarok 1.2.2
Really great theme! Good job!
Just one thing... the "X tracks" for an album should IMO be aligned to the right, like this:
"Album name *spaces* 12 tracks"
and not "12 tracks album name"
It's confusing, especially when there's no visual difference between them..
But anyway, gerat job :)
Awesome! Thanks! :)
But of course now there's another thing ;)
If the album name is too long it'll clash with the number of tracks...
Sorry to bug you about those stuff, but if it's not too hard to fix it'll be great (and if it is do whatever you want with it! :)).
Didn't seem to help..
I was referring to the album names and the number of tracks, maybe you fixed the track name and the time? Maybe I wrote tracks instead of albums (stupid me?) ?
Anyway, thanks for fixing my annoying problems :)
Great Theme! It's beautiful, but there is bug in "Home" tab - albums are not aligned to the right side and rating not displayed good. Amarok version is 1.3 beta 2.
In stylesheet.css, there are some missing characters!
Line 143:
background: transparent url(./img/gris-fondo.ng) repeat !important;
Line 147:
background: transparent url(./img/blanco-fondo.pn) repeat !important;
In case there was any doubt, the bold text should be changed to png
Your theme is awesome!
great style!
I hope kgethotstuff gets integrated in amarok soon, so we'll be able to donwload these css things even more easilly :D
but its not that difficult now (with amarok 1.2.2 its a snap) so I've installed it. good job!
Really nice! It don't fit my system, but
I think that it'll be useful be many amarockers.
It's wonderful to see all those great CSS-
schemes. Like someone said: MORE! ;)
Fantastic work!
That's not possible... yet.
The original theme that comes with amarok uses the system color. I noticed this when I used another computer and the colors changed.
In fact, the themes are just CSS files that are rendered by khtml and then send to amarok via kparts or something similar. We should need a special color in the CSS to be filled with the system colors by khtml or amarok.
I think I'm missing something...
We provide the system colours through some magic variables. I forget what they are called. This should be documented someplace, but I spose it isn't...
Anyway, great scheme :)

Stupid bug...fixed.

Ups, I uploaded the same version! xD
Oh! Now it's perfect :)

what shadows do you mean? do you have shadows on the font? looks so on the screenshot...
Yes, it's a css property called text-shadow: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#propdef-text-shadow Safari had it for a while but konqui didn't have it until kde3.4
i see, so i have to update kde to 3.4 to see it?
AFAIK yes, kde3.4 needed. Another example of shadows in khtml: http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/241/7.gif
It looks really nice, although it seems to be quite slow on my computer (probably my fault - it is a bit old ^_^)
Amazing style thx alot and keep up the good work :)
Simply Great[tm] :)
Just curious, did you base it on any kde theme/style? If so, I'd really like to find it b/c it'd be a great style to use for the whole system.
No, but Quartz windeco was a good start ;)

Yeah I'll try to integrate this, but the problem is we support KDE 3.2, and KNewStuff wasn't around back then. But I'll make it work anyway.

Awesome!! I don't know if it's possible, but could you make it use the current color scheme?
That's not possible... yet. The original theme that comes with amarok uses the system color. I noticed this when I used another computer and the colors changed.

Sure thing we support it, it's called CSS ;) The CSS specification holds definitions of a range of system colours as defined here: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/ui.html#system-colors
