As I wrote in my last unanswered PM, I'm still available to realize this skin! I just do not want to drive the skin project, I wait for task packages.

Ah ok, just saw from the last commit date, that you modified some code already.
Just wanted to be sure you are aware it's not working 100% yet. I'm without laptop and waiting patiently for the next version :)

Because you did not configure the behavior in the settings.
This has to do with the work states, see also MP2-704. Press EPG a second time to close - or use the red button.

Hi guys,

You have two choices:
Remove the plugins from MP2-Client\Plugin folder. This will probably break some skins: i.e. Titanium shows weather info in home screen, if you remove Weather plugin, this dependency cannot be resolved anymore
Use the "DisabledComponents" of plugin manager settings to disable selected plugins (by their plugin...

Extra points for an option to have the scroll bar fade in/out only when the user is moving around. Keeps the view clean but of course some designers/users may like it always on.

For splash screen, I would suggest a more subtle one, like the one suggested by kcosta. We had some internal discussions where we choose the current icon which you can see as icon of the EXE file. It's not so easy to change it because many things have to be discussed. The icon must fit to the...

Re: AW: Re: MP2 Theme: Dark Silver
That is really interesting, I had no idea that could be done with the new skin engine (but to be fair, I haven't read up on everything in the Wiki yet). Sounds like skin designers and their users are going to have a very productive time once they get their heads round the concept.
