How do I change the overall background color of the skin? Been looking all over the place.
Thanks

it's hardcoded in the skin line 8..11 and taken from within the image gfx_*.png depending on layout
<background...

So, if I would like to change source to another .png-file do I write it on the same line? <browser...
What do I write? File=... image=..?
Right now it says condition="var_equal '@&colorscheme' 0"

No the image used is the one defined in first line "<skin "
it contains many important things including background image ( at position X, Y in the picture)
the colorscheme is selectable from "layout" button (default / contrast / Dark Mode / Daylight)
"<background " is not well documented and not working exactly as the existing infos say
maybe there are solutions by using "image=" or even "color=" but never be able to understand how to use them
The way I would use (may differ from one user to another with better knowledge) to modify color for default (0) color scheme:
preferably use a modified copy of the original, set its name in "image=" field of "<skin" line in a way not to alter other layouts
(warning missing image may crashes VDJ or wrong name fails to load the skin)
edit the new image:
either put new bg pattern in place at position x="1817" y="0" with a size width="100" height="100" for default colorscheme
or add it somewhere in free part of the image i.e. x="1817" y="418"
and alter position and size accordingly in "<background" line
it is not necessary a simple color, it can be any pattern, specially nice pavements effects
once again, it's my way, some other better one may exist

Where are the "skin lines" to which you refer? I would like a pale blue background -- not starkly black or starkly white.

depending on skins there are multiple solutions
picture itself, which can be omitted from the .xml file under some conditions
<skin definition
background definition(s)
predefined color(s)
or every elements in the skin using the same (or similar) color
or a mix of everything
or in some case, default which defines nowhere
there can't be a generic answer to this question
