problem is that according to the skin design guide ( MediaPortal1_Development/SkinArchitecture/current_file_tags - MediaPortal Manual Documentation ), there's two duration tags. There's:

This done using "FlipY".
Easiest way of finding out how to use it, is by looking at a skin that already uses it, as the wiki (IIRC) lacks information regarding this (amongst other things).

how do i get the reflection under the image, as shown in the attached picture? i want to use this effect for a skin i'm working on.

there was no height tag in the listcontrol for common.facade.music.xml . i had to manually add it, but now the preview overlay isn't covering the bottom entry. plus, the pagination is still accurate.

1280x720 is MP's default wide skin, this was decided as it is compatible with both 720 and 1080, without causing too much graphical strain on the GPU\CPU, especially for people with slightly older DX9 cards that may only have 128mb memory.
There's a starter :)

I'm sure you noticed citizenkeys post - he is planning an update. What did you mean would 'this' be possible in Mepo? Adding the progress bar to the videooverlay? Or the graphic background to the overlay? Both are not difficult. I think most 4:3 skins try to keep the video image as large as possible, so it is visible, yet keep...

Hey Den70, I am assuming you are using a widescreen since you were using XFace. You should put your system specs in the User CP (Control Panel). See the box at the top left of the forum menu bar to get there. It's really helpful when trying to get replies.
I do know that version 2.8 of Monochrome included files for 1.0.0 support...

Hi TheMightySpud, I only have changed the x & y position whereas width, height and animation effect still have the original values.

Sorry guys, as other people have already said, the skin is outdated!
So it will be no use for you to get it.
And i cant update it, because my HTPC does not have a DX9 graphics card, so i cant use the newest version of Mediaportal.
Maybe in the future, when i get a better HTPC i will update the skin, or try to make one for Windows...

Hi everyone,
I've been experimenting with skinning a little bit but I've run into a problem: I'm not able to use the onup/down/etc XML-tags the way I like: using them as a hyperlink. It appears that you can only link to ID's within the XML file you are located in. Does anyone know if, and if so, how to use the onup/etc tag to link a...

I think it depends on your fonts.xml mainly..
Like StreamedMP has defined a set of fonts such as mediastream11 & mediastream11c, with the latter being all in uppercase.

Ha! Very cool idea! I'm a bit slow :) I just resorted to the old trial and error skinning approach and have now found almost all of them. I always think I am going to update the Wiki but a) I never feel sure I understand everything and I'm loathe to give incorrect info and b) by the time I finish skinning my brain is mush and I'm...
