Dock Colors

[Shonae]

I've been seeing alot of themes where you have the option to choose different colrs for youe dock, text, banners, etc. and it's absolutely driving me insane trying to figure out how to do this. If anyone knows and can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The following code would start your theme using "red" docks.

Once you hit the "Blue_Button", it turns the docks to Blue.

make your blue dock in Layer_1
make your red dock Layer_2
make your green dock Layer_3....or whatever.

<set xlink:href="#Layer_1" attributeName="visibility" to="none" begin="0"/>
<set xlink:href="#Layer_2" attributeName="visibility" to="visible" begin="0"/>
<set xlink:href="#Layer_3" attributeName="visibility" to="none" begin="0"/>

<set xlink:href="#Layer_1" attributeName="visibility" to="visible" begin="blue_button.activate"/>
<set xlink:href="#Layer_2" attributeName="visibility" to="none" begin="blue_button.activate"/>
<set xlink:href="#Layer_3" attributeName="visibility" to="none" begin="blue_button.activate"/>

You will need to do this for all colors.

the above is correct, further more you can go about the content of the layers 2 different ways. You can either: a) have multiple images which you separate into individual layers and then hide/show the layers accordingly. OR b) you can create a rectangle or watever shape in composer and then just change the colour of the object and place the different coloured objects into different layers. and then again hide/show accordingly. Option B will save on theme file size and if you are just having a straight forward rectangle like dock then that is most likely the option I would go with...... personally speaking of course....
