how to edit Dolphin's interface?

[GorillaMunch]

I'm using microsoft visual studio 2008 and I want to change the UI in dolphin. I tired looking under the GUI but i don't know exactly what I need to look for. what I want to do is change the dock :


to this :



I think the gray makes it look old. The white interface should look sleeker but my photoshop skills suck but you get the idea. so any help?

all i need to know is what source to use and i can program it myself. it shouldn't be complicated.

now that he mentions it, the grey DOES make it look old :O

everything seems to be point towards DolphinWX.rc but I can't access it. I know it contains the dolphin icon. WHERE ARE the .xpm sources embedded to???? is it under the GUI folder?

Some one Should write a Dolphin interface that looks and acts just like the wii system menu (instead of emulating the wii system menu)

It sounds like you are wanting to create a new theme. Maybe search through the source for XPLASTIK, BOOMY etc to try to work out how they change the background colour of the toolbars.

It looks like the XPM are used in conjunction with a corresponding .c file which is an encoded PNG.

you would want to look at FrameTools.cpp for the Toolbar and Frame.cpp for Dolphin itself (probably part of Dolphin itself is in FrameTools.cpp as well)

the bloomy theme was generated using the wxInclude method to incorporate all those icons in the theme however it never lists the background color. it is there by default so im thinking someone is going to need to implement a code via C++ to change all that or overide the bloomy theme

EDIT: I think it's just my screen...
