Skin Recolorizer for Vital

The main propose of this tool, is to change specific colors on a .vitalskin already existent. For example, you can change all the purple colors to green colors (that's what I do on the screenshots) from the default skin. To see the changes you need to save the new skin and load it on vital. This is not as close as powerful to the native Vital skin editor, but is a bit easier, it group all the repeated colors so you only have to change them once. Is a good tool if you only want to tweak an existing skin. Or if you want to get started with a new one, this can save you some time.

Documentation

Install and run

On Linux (or Mac)

Just clone the repository and run the main.py file via the virtual environment:

git clone https://github.com/JARA99/Skin_Recolorizer_for_Vital.git
cd ./Skin_Recolorizer_for_Vital
source ./PythonVEnv_SkinRecolorizer/bin/activate
python3 -u './src/main.py'

On Windows

Install python. Download or copy the main.py somewhere, run it by double clicking or form your python app if your installation come with one.

Usage

Once the program is running, it will show you the default.vitalskin for tweak. But you can select any skin that you want for tweaking, just hit load and search your skin.

For changing a color, just click over it, and it will pop a color selector for you. From there, you can change the colors as you wish.

Also, when you put the mouse over a color, it will change to the original skin color, that way you can compare the changes (if you haven't changed the color, nothing will happen).

When you are done, you can save the new theme with the save button. And that's all!

Configuration

You can change some parameters if you want. On the main.py document, from the line 7 to 12. You can change the default paths and the number of columns you want, I personally prefer having just 4 columns so i can put vital bigger in my screen and at one side have the skin recolorizer.

############################### Global Const ###############################

DEFAULT_PATH = '..'
DEFAULT_SKIN = './src/default.vitalskin'

COLUMNS = 4

Consider adding a folder called /skins to your vital directory. You can store the skins there, and Vital will automatically add them to the skin list. You can add the path to that folder to the DEFAULT_PATH constant later.

Usage (OldMain)

Once you run the code above, it will be requested a path for loading a skin file. If you leve it in blank it will use the default.vitalskin.

Hit <Enter> and it will poup-up a widow with the colors of the skin and it's HEX codes. From there you can change a color by filling the color number (the one in parenthesis) on the first box and the HEX color of the new color on the second box.

Hit the to: button and it will apply the changes. You should see that the color have changed, and now it has a vertical band that indicates the original color.

Once you finish your re colorization you can hit save and enter the save path on the terminal.
