Could you also point me in the direction of what i should resize in the tvseries.xml to get 3x5 banners instead of 2x4 as i get now? I think its just not enough room with the res i use (1360x768). It works with 1280x720, but that res looks crap on my TV.

Reptile you crazy pixel pusher! It's awesome!

Kudos, keep up the sweet work man!

so many new cool skins of late is very encouraging.

Avigrace I like it too! never thought of that kind of interface

Avigrace · 2007-10-31, 17:34

what would be really nice would be to have a tool where you could easily define what you want in the main and sub menus. The skin designer would create a skin with 5 main menus and 5 sub menus and the program would go through and replace all the names and links as per the users design.

Then you could create some real nice personal menu designs

These 2 example replace Weather and Other from my previous post.

Lifestyle
-----MyWeather
-----MyNews
-----MyRecipies
-----MyPrograms
-----

System
-----Shutdown (this could even open a 3rd menu with restart, shutdown, close MP, etc etc)
-----General Settings
-----TV Settings
-----Recording Settings
-----

Yeah, I have updated to latest version of TV-Series plugin and am getting the 2 x 4 column look instead of the 3 x 5 too

Other than that it is hard to fault the sking, looks so slick and professional, and its only an A

lpha!

Darre · 2007-10-31, 20:01

I asked spuck and he told me what to edit

I changed:

<itemWidthBig>410</itemWidthBig>
<itemHeightBig>99</itemHeightBig>
to:

<itemWidthBig>408</itemWidthBig>
<itemHeightBig>98</itemHeightBig>

And that did the trick for me!

thx alot spuck.

mrbenn · 2007-10-31, 20:25

First of all this is a great skin and I love it so keep up the good work!!!

Now to the bugs...

I have a problem in tv screen. Look at the screenshot, part of the program description is out of the screen on the right.

Another problem is that OSD does not look like the screenshots. What I get is the second screenshot.

In icon views in my video there are remains of text (title of movies) to the right of the screen.. look at third screenshot.

One thing to say is I use 1360 x 768 resolution.
