It seems that there is problems using this skin with 1366 (or 1360) x 768 (i'm using also this res) so, can u change the skin to work with that resolution?? I think that it could work fine in 1280x720 because downscaling works better than upscaling...

regards,

End of story.

That was decided on page 5.

Ok, i understand it now... sorry

MoPhat · 2007-11-01, 08:49

I have the same like robyf, on my screen with 1920 x 1080 are the program description out of the screen on the right side.

can you underlay the program description with a grey background (fullscreen tv)? its hard to read on a bright movie with white text

please change the miniEPG because its not possible to select a channel correctly.

thanks for that great work

What I think PS could do is to edit the TV-series.xml so it works for people with 1360x768 res. I posted the numbers i had to change, but far from everyone uses the forum, and alot(if not most) of the 720p screens are actually 1366x768.

So if edititing those numbers doesnt screw it up on 1280x720 screens i think it should be done by default.

robyf · 2007-11-01, 15:36

Infact I use 1366x768 because is the only way to have 1:1 pixel on my samsung 37"" LCD TV.

The skin looks great also on this resolution, there are only a couple of problems I mentioned so I think it should be no problem to make it work with this resolution. The thing I don't understand is OSD on TV. Is it implemented like the screenshots or not?

It's coming along VERY nicely!

MichaelWC · 2007-11-01, 20:03

Do you have this in a 4:3 layout??

druid9 · 2007-11-01, 20:09

I love this skin - a real piece of class work. Problem is that once I calibrate my TV, all of the filmstrip views are shifted outside their boxes. If I leave the screen alone when running at 1280x720 on my TV, all lines up beautifully, but once recalibrated not so beautiful. Is there a fix for this or am I stuck with it as it is?

By the way, I love the list view for movies and music - well done, I reckon this should be standard in all MP skins.
