Changing overlay opacity? - dkplayaclub - 2018-02-24
Forgive me if this has already been discussed. I tried searching and flipped through a ton of posts but I may have just missed something. The frosted glass look overlay in this skin is nice but I would like to see the artwork a little clearer. Since there is no option, I assume I need to do some manual file editing but I'm not too good with this stuff. If someone could tell me how to lighten the overlay by about 20% I'd be grateful.

Check the XML files in the colors folder.
Play around with these values.
<color name="Background">ff000000</color>
<color name="FanartFade">8Fffffff</color>
<color name="FloorFade">D9000000</color>

Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid that I don't know what to do with those values however. They don't seem to match any hex color code, so I assume they are something else?

OK. I see. Thank you for your help and for your patience.

For anyone who is interested, I settled on these values. The difference is not massive but it does make the Fanart more prominent and is (for me at least) a definite improvement.
<color name="Background">ffeeeeee</color>
<color name="FanartFade">80ffffff</color>
<color name="FloorFade">99e0e0e0</color>
