Global Variables

Is there a way to make variables I can access from any component? In my case I would need to access it from: Panel Stack Splitter, ELPlaylist and WSH Panel Mod.
I am asking because I would like to add the ability to switch colourthemes to my skin.

Extended Variables - you can use any system color (%COLOR_*name*%) or make custom variable and call it by any component (i.e. define variable in preferences temp = $rgb(10,10,10) and then call it like %temp%)

Extended Variables provides "variables" usable in any components, but personnal new "variable" have to be set manually before use ... and can't mod modified by script or other way (and restart is needed after each modification)... so, it should be titled "Extended Constants" ...

Some extra "constant" are embedded with the component, list below :

Code: [Select]
FOOBAR_PATH
COLOR_SCROLLBAR
COLOR_BACKGROUND
COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION
COLOR_INACTIVECAPTION

Sorry for the dumb question, but how am I suppose to use colour variables? %COLOR_SCROLLBAR% returns for example FFFFFF, but foobar2k $rgb function takes 3 separate arguments - should I parse this variable and slice whatever it returns into 3 separate values? I refuse to believe so (;

Enclose it in ETX (Alt - 003) character: FFFFFF

O, thanks... thought it was deprecated or something...
Still -why this 'variables' aren't parsed (even at startup) preventing me from adding to it things like
Code: [Select]
$blend($rgb(255,255,255),$rgb(82,119,149),,)

?

Thanks 2E7AH and Falstaff. I guess constants might not be the optimal way for colour changing, but it's certainly enough and better then having to change code in each component
