agent007bond Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 With this skin/addition you can have a color-coded status column, where a different status has a different color (most of the time).The right column in the above image shows which color property in the skin file is used to color the element shown in the left column (see the code below). For 'Downloading' and 'Seeding', the first color shows when things are normal, and the second color shows when there is some error.If you're not using any skin in the new format (just plain vanilla uTorrent; not sure? see below), you can just download this file which I have created:Color_Coded_Status_Column_in_uTorrent.btskinDouble-click on the file to install the skin (if the file type is associated with uTorrent) or drag and drop the file onto your uTorrent window. You will have to restart uTorrent for the skin to take effect.My skin here will only change the colors of the status column. The rest of uTorrent 3.0 will look exactly like uTorrent 3.0.If you're currently using a skin in new format (not sure? see below) you have to modify your existing skin file unless you don't mind losing your current uTorrent look. Find the skin file (see below) and open it in 7-Zip or WinRAR. (You may want to back-up your skin file before proceeding.) If you find a file named btskin (no extension), drag it out to a temporary location, then edit it in Notepad. If there's no such file, then create a file btskin using Notepad (remember to avoid the .txt extension). Change or add the following lines to this text file:progress_bar_bg:EBEBEBqueued_progress:FFB27Fdownload_progress:84C2FFdownerr_progress:FF7F7Fstopped_progress:FFD800paused_progress:8D1C10queued_incomplete_progress:ABD679seed_progress:86C43Fseederr_progress:FF6A00finished_progress:3399FFerror_progress:FF0000Once saved, just drag and drop the new btskin file in the 7-Zip or WinRAR window and allow overwriting existing file in the skin file archive. Restart uTorrent for changes to take effect.Tip: Don't have a suitable archive manager such as 7-Zip or WinRAR? You can rename the skin file to current.zip and make changes using the ZIP support of Windows. Just remember to rename it back to current.btskin.If you're not sure whether you're using a skin in the new format, just open the %AppData%\uTorrent folder (or wherever your uTorrent settings.dat is) and check if you have a file named current.btskin. This is your skin file that you have to modify.Hope you like it! Feel free to ask any questions.Edit: Added note about dual colors of some statuses.Edit: Changed to Dropbox hosting.

rodizi Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 @Death StalkerI have had just the same problem.My solution:"current.btskin" was not recognized by uTorrent (I have been using WinRAR with max compression), than I compressed "btskin" (with WinRAR) this time to ZIP with "normal" compression and now it is recognized and it is working!Best regards from Slovenia (and sorry if there are mistakes in my english language) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee123 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 A little dissapointed that the color of the download and finished are both blue similar to the original problem of seeding and downloading both being green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent007bond Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 A little dissapointed that the color of the download and finished are both blue similar to the original problem of seeding and downloading both being green.You can choose any other HEX code for the colour you want. Just find out the hex code in this page and input it for download_progress or finished_progress when you make changes according to my original post. Be sure to remove the # sign though. I'm not sure if capitalizing is necessary, but you may do it to be safe.You can also find other hex code tools online. They all work just as fine as the one I linked above.In my original colour set, I have attempted to differentiate download and finished by choosing a light blue colour and a dark blue colour. This, combined with the partial filling of the download bar, provides enough differentiation for me. I'm sorry it doesn't work well for you, but you can easily choose different colours.

Yankee123 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Cant get it to work after I edit it with notepad. I save it as current.btskin and overwrite the original, but then when I open utorrent its back to the original way it was without the btskin. Any idea what im doing wrong?

agent007bond Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Cant get it to work after I edit it with notepad. I save it as current.btskin and overwrite the original, but then when I open utorrent its back to the original way it was without the btskin. Any idea what im doing wrong?I think you're not following the steps on my original post correctly. You only have to open the "current.btskin" file in 7-Zip, drag out the "btskin" file and edit the dragged out temporary copy. Once that is done, drag the temporary copy back to 7-Zip as described below. [You don't have to overwrite the current.btskin archive file at all!]Once saved, just drag and drop the new btskin file in the 7-Zip or WinRAR window and allow overwriting existing file in the skin file archive. Restart uTorrent for changes to take effect.I also think you'll have to do my modifications from start (incorporating your own in the appropriate place) because it sounds that you replaced your current.btskin archive file with the btskin text file which is supposed to be inside the archive file.If nothing else works, try downloading my current.btskin file and starting over. First, place it with your uTorrent, then restart and see if you can change to my colour scheme. If successful, proceed to opening the current.btskin in 7-Zip and dragging out the btskin file to edit it as described above.Also, please paste your edited text in your next reply, so that I can check if there are problems with your edit.

jmblazquezh Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hello.I made one skin for utorrent 3.0 build 26473 (32-bits version). I managed to change all the colors I wanted, least these two : finished_progress:86c440 and finished_progress_text:666666. I have tried many combinations of colors, but always this color is blue : finished_progress and this one always is white : finished_progress_text. The problem may be that I have installed windows 7 Enterprise 64-bits and always these two colors go out like that by default?. When I select an item from the list of downloads also always appears in blue.Thanks and regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnarlyCar Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So I changed all the colors to my taste, but they revert back to default when I change the skin.

And the same to Downloading.Thx in advanceI don't think it's supported. Both [F] Seeding and Seeding use the same colour (the colour for Seeding). Same for Downloading. Sorry - maybe you could put in a feature request. For me the [F] is quite enough to differentiate, plus I almost never force torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbildman Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Of note, you can use the "old" torrent skins that implement the changing of ONLY the icons in the toolbar, and "add" the btskin file found within the "current.btskin" (if there is one) in the appdata/roaming/utorrent folder (Windows 7). If you have a .btskin file, all you need to do is double click on it no matter what directory it is in, and it will create a "current.btskin" in the roaming/utorrent folder. Those old skins only have 3 bitmaps in them, and if you unrar them, and then add the btskin to all 3 files, x.bmp + y.bmp + z.bmp + btskin (that contains the lines below for instance): progress_bar_bg:EBEBEBqueued_progress:FFB27Fdownload_progress:84C2FFdownerr_progress:FF7F7Fstopped_progress:FFD800paused_progress:8D1C10queued_incomplete_progress:ABD679seed_progress:86C43Fseederr_progress:FF6A00finished_progress:3399FFerror_progress:FF0000 Zip those 4 files, and rename the resulting zip file "current.btskin" and place it in the roaming/utorrent folder. When utorrent is restarted, not only will the toolbar be how you want it, but the progree bars will have your colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
