Mirk,

WeatherOverlay is included in SVN now so you may wanna incorporate that in some of the screens.

I have uploaded what i got so far to download repository.

Enjoy

Sadly this skin does not work for me, as your "standard" SpinSafe stopped working when you added these light rays.

The amount of RAM MediaPortal uses just doesn't stop rising, I killed the task when it reached 400 megs.

illStyle: Have you considered not using "Start with basic home screen"? That sure quickens it up a lot.

illStyle · 2007-02-13, 15:08

Sure, I have. But what if I actually wanted to use the basic home screen?

The skin does not look half as good without it.

Regards,
Simon

Good start Mirk - keep it going.

The only initial feedback which comes to mind is the icons are too overwhelming.
I would suggest the Icon sizes in the standard icon view should be the Big Icon view sizes thus allowing more icons per screen in the standard view. i.e three rows of icons rathe than two.
Filmstrip view should have three columns by 2 rows of preview icons with a larger thumbnail at the end.

Just my humble opinion.

Great work indeed! Looking forward on more information about this skin!

(So we're at least 2 in Växjö with MP then

)

Yes you are right. I have changed thumbs size like you propsed, and it came out very good.

I dont think its possible to have more then 1 row in filmstrip view, or is it?

When using this skin I get a blank screen after the MP splash screen.

BlueTwoWide does not have the same issue.

I've had this in the past when having the weather overlay plugin enabled (it seems that it can't be with the new SVNs....it keeps reverting to disabled when you go back into setup) and no overlay XML. Even though the overlay plugin is not enabled I tried copying the XML from BlueTwoWide, but same result.

I was using an SVN from about a week ago. I have since updated but still the same issue.

Is there something in the setup that i'm missing?

Just did a clean install of 0.2.2.0 and svn 12919 with the same result. The only "extra" I'm running is the MCE replacement plugin (only using the blaster part, not the driver).

Thanks.
