====== Setting Contact Sheet Colours ======
===== Custom colours =====
Colours can be set through configuration/overrides. There's a set of variables controlling colour, listed below. Background colours start with ''bg_'' while font colours start with ''fg_''
^ Colour-controlling variables ^^
^ Background colours ^^
^ Variable ^ Controls ^
| ''bg_heading'' | Background for meta-information |
| ''bg_sign'' | Background for signature |
| ''bg_title'' | Background for the title |
| ''bg_contact'' | Background for the captures |

^ Font colours ^^
^ Variable ^ Controls ^
| ''fg_heading'' | Meta-information font colour |
| ''fg_sign'' | Footer font colour |
| ''fg_tstamps'' | Timestamps font colour |
| ''fg_title'' | Title font colour |
They accept both named colours or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_color#Hex_triplet|hex-code]] (HTML-style) colours.

To see a list of named colours, use:
$ convert -list color
The simplest way to set your preferred colours is to add them to a configuration file, e.g. ''~/.vcs.conf''.
==== Examples ====
=== Example ''~/.vcs.conf'' #1 ===
bg_heading=Wheat4
bg_sign=Tomato3
bg_contact=WhiteSmoke
fg_heading=White
{{:vcs:colour_example_1.jpg?350|Example colours #1}}
=== Example ''~/.vcs.conf'' #2 ===
bg_heading=gray
bg_sign=silver
bg_contact=#cbe1d2
fg_heading=#fefefe
{{:vcs:colour_example_2.jpg?350|Example colours #2}}
=== Example with default colours ===
This would be the result with the default colours:\\
{{:vcs:colour_example_default-1.11.jpg?350|Example colours with default colours (in vcs 1.11)}}
===== Different profiles =====
* You can also set colours from (a very long) command-line to change for a single file, e.g.:
$ vcs -O bg_heading=gray -O bg_sign=silver -O 'bg_contact=#cbe1d2' -O 'fg_heading=#fefefe' [other options] file.avi
* Since ''vcs'' also reads any file named ''vcs.conf'' in the directory from where you call it, you can also set up different //profiles// by creating files named ''vcs.conf'' with your preferred colours and running vcs from the same directory,\\ e.g. place the first example in ''dir1/vcs.conf'' and the second in ''dir2/vcs.conf'':
$ cd dir1
$ vcs [options] file.avi # The first example colours will be used
$ cd ../dir2
$ vcs [options] file.avi # The second example colours will be used
