First off, we need to know what area to edit:
first we go to the Window_Base script and locate:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Get Text Colors #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def normal_color; text_color(0); end; # Normal def system_color; text_color(16); end; # System def crisis_color; text_color(17); end; # Crisis def knockout_color; text_color(18); end; # Knock out def gauge_back_color; text_color(19); end; # Gauge background def hp_gauge_color1; text_color(20); end; # HP gauge 1 def hp_gauge_color2; text_color(21); end; # HP gauge 2 def mp_gauge_color1; text_color(22); end; # MP gauge 1 def mp_gauge_color2; text_color(23); end; # MP gauge 2 def mp_cost_color; text_color(23); end; # TP cost def power_up_color; text_color(24); end; # Equipment power up def power_down_color; text_color(25); end; # Equipment power down def tp_gauge_color1; text_color(28); end; # TP gauge 1 def tp_gauge_color2; text_color(29); end; # TP gauge 2 def tp_cost_color; text_color(29); end; # TP cost
We notice that the colors are based on the 32/128 color palette, so we either pick from the list below or choose a different color:
note: use the palette that matches the kind in your skin.

Now that we have updated the text formatting to work with your new skin, next we need to go to this topic to get the script. Remember to use the one that is designed for your skin or to download a template and use a graphics program to replace the palette section with the one that matches the script.
Note that the palette can be found in the lower right corner of the windowskin and is about 64 pixels across and 32 pixels tall.
