So.. What's color 128 actually?.. black or something?..

 

Thanks anyways.. seems to be pretty nice little scriptlet

In a normal windowskin you have only 32 color squares... Now you can use 128 color squares... The index of the color is 0->127... if you put 128 you have an error...

I just came up with an updated version of your script above and called it Windowskin 512 and I will post it here since it is relevant.

Script:

 

 

#==============================================================================

# Author: kramlat
# Release Date: 23/08/2012 => v1.0

# Original Author: Melosx
#==============================================================================
# * Instructions
# -----------------------------------
# Place the script under Material and above Main.
#
#==============================================================================
# * Description
# -----------------------------------
# With this script you can use a windowskin with 128 colors.

#
#==============================================================================
class Window_Base < Window
#=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|COLOR ZONE|-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=#
#
# To add new color follow this template:
#
#				  def COLOR_NAME; text_color(ID); end
#
# ID is a number from 0 to 127 and it is the place of the color in the
# windowskin.
#
#----------------------------ADD HERE YOUR COLORS-----------------------------#
 def msx_color; text_color(32); end; # <- Msx's favourite color ^.^
#=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==--=-=-|END|-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=#
 def text_color(n)
	windowskin.get_pixel(64 + (n % 32) * 2, 96 + (n / 32) * 2)
 end
end

 

 

and here we have a 512 color windowskin template (needed for above script):

 

Oh and 2,048 color windowskins are possible too (but you cannot go beyond that point without resizing the image and causing problems potentially), I will add that script and template image as well:

script:

 

 

#==============================================================================
# ** Windowskin 2,048 Color v1.0

# -----------------------------------
# Place the script under Material and above Main.
#
#==============================================================================
# * Description
# -----------------------------------
# With this script you can use a windowskin with 128 colors.
# You can add new color code following the instruction in the Color Zone.
#
#==============================================================================

class Window_Base < Window

#=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|COLOR ZONE|-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=#
#
# To add new color follow this template:
#
#				  def COLOR_NAME; text_color(ID); end
#
# ID is a number from 0 to 127 and it is the place of the color in the
# windowskin.
#
#----------------------------ADD HERE YOUR COLORS-----------------------------#
 def msx_color; text_color(32); end; # <- Msx's favourite color ^.^

#=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==--=-=-|END|-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=#

 def text_color(n)
	windowskin.get_pixel(64 + (n % 64), 96 + (n / 64))
 end

end

 

 

and the template:

 

Just so you know, these new skin formats do not use the generic order of colors like normal skins do but a system style palette like that of 16 bit consoles so you will likely have to change the colors in the Window_Base class to make them look right. Change them to whatever you wish, or wait until I add equivilents for WS512 and WS2048 by WS32 and WS128 code.
