Change color!
-
Hi, I'm creating a theme for emulationstation, and there's only one thing missing, I can not find it in any way in an xml, svg or similar file ... The rating stars!
Does anyone know how to change their color?! -
You'd have to open the svg file in a program like illustrator or inkscape and change the stars color that way. AFAIK there is no way to change the color of an svg in xml
-
Can't you just add the <color> tag to the ratings node? Although that would only work if your svg is completely white.

@ectoone I've never been able to color an svg through the theme.xml. Only able to change color by editing the svg.

@xZyCFx: You don't need an image editing program to change the colour of an SVG. Because they are just code, you can open the file with any text editor (eg: notepad on windows or textedit on mac), look for the hex code (eg: #FFFFFF = white, #000000 = black), change it to the colour you want and save.
I've been out of the theme-making game for a while, so I don't remember if you can just use the <color> tag, or if that's a new thing.
Edit: This is the method I used to change all the colours of the logos in my IO theme (they were originally from Carbon, I just made them bichrome).

This is correct. I added this sometime last year. I see the theme docs was not updated though. I will fix that shortly.
