Hello, did you find the answer to this question? I also want to change the highlighted color from the panorama list but cannot change it directly in ptp.
thanks.

I have fumbled around in the javascript, where the combobox plugin seems to reside, without success.  Could someone please assist me/us in a solution? 

Thanks,

This is the krpano doumenation for the Flash and javascript version of the combobox plugin incorporated in krpano 1.0.8.15.

http://krpano.com/plugins/combobox/

PTP 1.8 incorporates krpano 1.0.8.14 rather than 1.0.8.15.

I see no attribute to set background colour in the Flash version of the plugin.

Thanks everyone.  I followed the link mediavets sent.  Under the plugin attributes for H5, iOS I found this:

Use a custom image and style for the combobox.
Syntax:
customstyle="url|cbtextcolor|itemtextcolor|markeditemtextcolor|highlightitemtextcolor|gradientcolor1|gradientcolor2|bordercolor"
Settings:
url - an url to an image which will be used to draw the combobox.
Get the default combobox base-image here: combobox.png.
cbtextcolor - the color of the combobox title text.
itemtextcolor - the color of the items text.
markeditemtextcolor - the color of the marked item text.
highlightitemtextcolor - the highlight item text color.
gradientcolor1 - the highlight background gradient 'from' color.
gradientcolor2 - the highlight background gradient 'to' color.
bordercolor - the border / spacer color.

How do you use these items?  They seem to do what we are looking for.

Thanks again,
Trey

Hi Hewitt, Trey and et al..

Have you considered using the krpano html5 combobox option? You can change the colour theme easy to what ever you want..  It also looks a lot better than the normal combobox.. and you do not need Flash to edit it.. .

This is just a demo test to show you..

Hi.. yes, I will try to give you guidance on how to achieve this.. Its a bit tricky but its doable as you can see.. Its midnight here now so a bit late, off to chuck some ZZZZZZZZZZZZ soon.. ...

Hi Trey

Sorry, not so "Brilliant", probably on the dumb side actually.. I have prepared a couple of html5 dummy grid virtual tours to send to you, where you can easily see the xml and html5 code to allow for the better combobox graphic.. I made the first test with the link I put up here, assuming wrongly that the combobox took its reference from the png graphic in the krpano examples.. But it doesn't so I have no idea why it is there.. I assumed that by changing the colour of the png you could change the colour of the skin.. But its not to be..

It works well on my iPod, I have just changed the graphic url ... I cannot see the code in the combox.js to change the colour theme either. Using the html5 option you can delete the swf since it has no value. It makes since for this plugin to use a skin and perhaps you can give the option to use it but that would be beyond my skills.. I am wondering if the theme is based on the computer system, so what I see is different to what you would..

I have played with the combobox.js but none of the changes I make reflect onto the combo box.. I need to experiment more..  You can easily use it as it is and I will be glad to send it to you.. I am sure this option will be in ptp 2.. So perhaps you can change the colour later when its available..

Sorry I gave you false hope.. It might be a fact that it takes it reference from the png when the tour is being built so the graphic is kind of embedded..

Destiny...

PS.. This is where I got the html5 combobox from.. Goto the bottom demo..  http://krpano.com/plugins/combobox/#top

Thanks for your tenacity.  Perhaps I should file this away for another time as I generally use thumbs for pano switching.  I just thought a combobox that had a palette that reflected the customers brand would be nice.  Again thanks for your exploration of the idea.
