OK, theme gurus... I need your help!

After beating my head against a wall about this for most of today, curiosity has given way to frustration...

How on Earth do the bcolor values in Theme.xml work? They're used for the video frame. I would've thought they'd be 6-digit hex color codes (like FFFFFF for pure white), but they're clearly not. Here's an example from the blkheart theme:

           bcolor="1906691"
           bcolor2="6841625"
           bcolor3="0"

I feel like I must be overlooking something really obvious. I did see that BBB talked about a HyperTheme manual when he first introduced the app, but if a manual exists, I can't find it at all.

I'm completely stumped. Can some kind soul shed some light on this mystery? Thanks in advance!

Hi Andyman,

HyperTheme uses the HEX color code on it's frontend, the color is then saved in the Theme xml in decimal format.  You can set your Windows Calculator to "Programmer", select "DEC" and type in the color code from the XML file and you can view the HEX value.

Calculator: Hex to DEC

Excellent. I was hoping it'd be something that simple. Thanks a bunch!

Hey, while I'm asking... is there a way to set a start delay on Particle effects in Theme.xml? Adding delay="x" doesn't seem to have an effect. I imagine you can if you use .swf instead of Particle.png, but I don't want to get that crazy with it.

Anybody know? Thanks!

I personally have not seen any delay settings for particle effects.
