    Hi, Ace,

    Scripting_Ace:
    Would be nice to know the possible values for  RoundingStyle and gradientType and their related effect.
     

    RoundingStyle is used for the measurement palette tabs to specify whether they have a rounded top:
    0 - No Rounding
    1 - Rounded Top

    GradientType is to specify if the gradient is bottom to top or top to bottom:
    0 – No Gradient
    1 – Top to Bottom
    2 – Bottom to Top.

    Best regards
    Matthias

    Do you mean beside the hidden key called picture box? ;-)

    No, whatever is in the XML is all there is currently, but who knows, maybe there will be more in the future?

    No arm in asking... I guess we will have to wait until next spring for the next "Easter Egg" crop! Stick out tongue

    Actually I found two more, however they are not as impressive as this one. Do you want me to wait until Easter?

    Do you know what this would be a lot more fun if it was added as a bonus xtension at some point, so that you could access the colour scheme(S) within Quark enabeling the end user to configure to our/their liking with maybe 2-5 defalt colour schemes to choose from.

    Why on earth are RGB values inverted? They come out as BGR in the xml file... results are not as expected at first trial. Rather strange.

    Jean-Marie Schwartz:
    RGB values
    RGB values are the common screen/monitor values, If you change RGB over BGR in the XML file then the colours will come out 'rather strange'.

    Someone knows what DisabledTextColor exactly means?

    BTW: To get a better look in a faster way, copy an empty XML file into the preferences folder. Smile

    Hi, all,

    ok, the competition has ended, the jury has discussed and found that the 1st prices goes to Dave's Gray look and the 2nd to Michel's Blue. Winners please contact me via mail to redeem your price.

    Bernhard is too smart and unfortunately found the nice trick I was going to post here an hour before I was going to do that. Personally I find the background of palettes in here too bright.

    Thanks all

    A quick way of getting a Fallback Style is to create an empty text file, call it "XPressTheme.xml" and put it into your preference folder.

    QuarkXPress will try to anaylze it and fall back to a gray style:

    Enjoy
