first> WOW!!! I realy like this skin very much. Supurb job Psycho Reptile. Many many thanks

Just a question.

I noticed something in the guide section of My TV. There is a nice green indicator on the current time accross all the channels. But just above that line there is a time bar from left to right. I notice that the time isnt correctly positioned relative to the time in the guide. Its exactly the same as seen in the thumbnails.

Like in the picture below, the actual time is 05:26 (see lowerright corner of the screen). The green indicator is positioned correct. But almost directly above the green indicator it should say 5:30. (ofcourse a little bit to the right, but not as far as seen in the screenshot below)

Is this fixed already? or can it be?

btw, I would love it if its possible to have a faint green line in between the two green indicators across the channels.

That is a problem of MP, not from the skin. Here is a discussion about htis: TVGuide slider positioning?

I did it again.

Where can I find the download of this skin?
Searched trough the skins but for some reason I cannot find it

Ah, thanks bussiebear. Clear anwser.

Quick (and ugly) solution to this might be to make the time-boxes themselves more visible. That way you can see where the box starts.

First of all, thank you so much for this skin (and your work on Aeon Wide btw). One small request. I use the filmstrip to display the movies in my collection. When scrolling sideways through the movies, normally the movie most to the right or to the left is highlighted and comes to the front. Is it possible to change this to always be themovie in the middle? For instance, when you have five movies (say 1,2,3,4,5) that number 3 would stand out, then when you press to the right, number 1 disappears, number 6 comes in to the view and number 4 would come to the front. You would have to make the strip continous then of course. Otherwise you cannot reach number 1, but you could just display number 19, 20, 1, 2 and 3 and have number 1 stand out.
I think aesthetically, this would be nicer. I cannot write code to save my life, so maybe this would be very hard to do, but I thought I could ask.
Anyway, thanks again. Never thought I could get such a goodlooking media center.

check this thread:
scrolloffset-filmstripview-43429/

This has GOT to be added to the core SVN... deffinately works... but it's hard keeping track of all the core versions for various things that would overwrite it.

OK, so they're working on it already. Well, I'll be patient then. Thank you.

[Justchill]

Sweet; where can I download your skin ?

Is this it : MEDIAPORTAL - free MediaCenter HTPC Software - Monochrome 4x3 v0.1
Is that V1.6?

I know it's an old post, but this happens here too (2 different installations):

Everytime I enter Now playing or Lyrics and go back to MyMusic the Overlay disappears and won't come back in MyMusic (but it's there in other parts of MP, ie. the Main Menu).

This happens also when I'm in a playlist and go back to MyMusic.

btw. Blue Two doesn't have this problem.
