Part 2: Adding Externalised Colors
Exposed colors are not linked with Components. When you create a component, even if you have used the Color Tool to create exposed colors, they are not included in the component.
In Part 2 I will show how to add the Exposed Skin Colors, used with the component, into the skin.xml file.
Note: this part of the Tutorial isn’t essential and if you like you can head straight to Part 3: Single Image Gallery. You can always come back to this part later.
If you would like to do Part 2 you will need to download a copy of WinZip (free version time limited) and have a text editor available. I use XCode or BBEdit.
Part 3: Single Image popup with Description
Part 4: Multiple Image Gallery with Description
Part 5: Text only Popup
Part 6: Adding Slide Titles
Part 7: Individual Slide Descriptions
Part 8: Custom Hotspot Images
Part 9: Setting Project Colors
In Part 9, we will look at setting Project Colors using the Edit Skin Configuration window
Note: If you skipped Part 2: Adding Externalised Colors you will need to go back and finish the tutorial so you can follow along with me. Alternatively, you can simply set up your own color theme by following Martin Hopkins video tutorial
Part 10: Simplex & RPGT Interaction and Variable Previews
We have added the RPGT Component to the Simplex Skin but they don’t interact with each other. In Part 10 we will make sure the Simplex Controller is hidden when the gallery or text popup window is open.
When working on developing a tour skin things can go wrong! Sometimes it’s hard to see what combination of variables are being used at a particular time and what values are being set. Variable Previews are a great help in debugging your work and we will review how they work.
