Editing UIFile Help

Has anyone ever come across a tutorial that explains what the different lines in the UIFile.txt change? I've figured out most of the changes you can do in the themes.ini file (and even some in the UIFile) but most of the UIfile is greek to me.

One I'd like to figure out is how to change the text color of the "Click your username to begin" line. That off-white really sucks when the background is very light.

If you open SkinStudio, load a skin, and change the middle pane to "Code" you can select a line and SKS will tell you what that line does in the lower left. Hope that helps.

Uh...not to sound stupid (even though that's debatable), but we are talking about logons made with logonstudio, not windowblinds skins and such....right??
Because I see nowhere in logonstudio's editor to do what you're saying. And skinstudio has no way of opening a logon skin that I can see.

Thanks for helping.

I'm no expert(you need Boss0190

),but I think your looking for something that looks like this...

element [id=atom(instruct)]
{
contentalign: wrapleft;
padding: rect(18rp,0,0,0);
fontsize: rcint(43) pt;
foreground: rgb(191,191,191);

foreground is the color of the text.

It depends on what uifile you're using. Usually it will be the foreground color in this section:

element [id=atom(instruct)]
{
contentalign: wrapleft;
padding: rect(18rp,0,0,0);
fontsize: rcint(43) pt;
foreground: rgb(255,255,255);

Here is what mine looks like:
[/color]
element [id=atom(instruct)]
{
background: argb(0,0,0,0);
contentalign: wrapleft;
padding: rect(18rp,0,0,0);
foreground: rgb(255,255,255);
fontsize: 10 pt;
fontface: "Comic Sans MS";

/*fontsize: rcint(43) pt;
foreground: white;*/
[color="#FF0000"]

This is a non-splash logon, so am I correct that the line "foreground: white;*/" needs to be changed to "foreground:rgb(0,0,0)" to change the text to black? Also, what are those two forewardslashes at the beginning and end of the last two lines for? They're not on your examples.

Ideally, I'd love to learn whatever programming language that these are written in, so I'll know what I'm looking at and be able to edit both these and splash logons also. (I must be nuts, hunh?)
