Can you swap the geo clock and the image change buttons in myWeather?
It seems a bit daft to click the 'images' button, then move down two buttons to change the image to the humidity one for example.
This seems more logical to me

I just copied those 2 folders into the mediaportal folder and it all works ok.

Also at the end of installation, I checked the "Launch Mediaportal" but it couldn't find mediaportal.exe, I assume its the same problem as above.

PS. I did it twice and it happened both times. Using Vista 64 Bit.

Same here, problems with instalation path on Vista 32bit.

I`ve pointed installer to C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Monochrome
But it installs to C:\skins\Monochrome

Yep, same here Vista 32bit. Just moved the folders to the right place.

Why:

6) Use MP-TVSeries configuration to import logo and formatting rules.
Logos and rules are installed by default to C:\Program Files\Monocrome.

Why using location outside Media Portal instalation folder???

[Theydon Bois]

I have instructions here on how to get the logos working....for Vista 32 bit.

Done

The next release will not be an installer, it's just not worth the hassle

Version 2.1 of Indigo and Monochrome has been released.

Where is the 2.1 version? I only see the headings for 2.0 on the MP skins download page.

Also, when browsing my music by shares, MP used to (e.g. in Blue Two Wide) show the name of the share as well as the FOLDER.jpg file as art for that directory.

Now it just shows the folder art, which looks nice, but I'd like to see the name of the folder there too. Is this possible to enable somehow? (or implement?)

[Psycho Reptile]

You can change the value in bold red in references.xml. "-10" seems to work, but I don't think it suits the skin.

<control>
<description>default thumbnail panel</description>
<type>thumbnailpanel</type>
<id>11</id>
...
<textXOff>0</textXOff>
<textYOff>1500</textYOff>
...
</control>

thanks a lot! this is my absolute favorite skin since its release.
the best thing on the new release are the "fixed" files for users with problematic graphic chips. works perfect so far.
not to forget the 8 line tv guide....

many, many thanks!

Great skin, I have a quick question in regards to displaying the codecs of the videos. I cant get them to display on any of my videos, in any of the skins, do I have to install a certain plugin or codec for these to show up? I'm using FFDshow right now.
