I need the pro 6.0 skin but in reverse. I need black on white background for bright sun performances. I made the mod myself with the old 4.3 skin, but cannot seem to get 6.0 to accept the mod I made to it's skin.

I get an Invalate skin file (error line 0 in the xml). I am using Dreamweaver to edit the original version of pro and then flipping the color settings. Any help would bet great since this instal crashed 4.3

never tried it so don't know what the outcome will look like, but put the bitmap in paint and select invert picture, lets know what the results are...

dead easy guys, for any bitmap/skin you want to change right click on it and on the drop down window select "open with" and choose "paint" when your in paint at the top tabs choose image and in the panel select invert, now when that's done go to file and choose save as... i just added "day" to the original skin name, need any other help or a vid made just get back to me, actually may have something similar, will go take a look.

Yes, the fastest way to do it, is in paint by inverting the colors. (But only for the picture)

However, you will then need to invert colors of all textzones in the XML. This is a long process by hand.

Best solution I can suggest:

Download the Skin Resizer Tool:
http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/image/virtualdj_skins_7187.jpg

1. Open the XML file of the skin
2. In Output size, copy the input size (we don't want any resizing here)
3. Select an output file (Rename the skin to whatever its name is and add "_day" at the end)

4. In Resizing options, select "Simple Resize" (This option doesn't do any resizing if input and output sizes are the same)
5. In the Options view, select "Outdoor Compliant", this will invert all colors, including the XML colors
6. In Generate view, click on "Do the Job"

Zip both files, and there you are done ;-)
