@offbyone this would be really amazing if we can build a link between VS designer and MP2 for rendering! This feature already exists, inside SkinHelperPlugin there is a "ReloadSkin" action, which maps following shortcuts: public static readonly Key RELOAD_SCREEN_KEY = Key.F3; public static readonly Key RELOAD_THEME_KEY = Key.F4...

Is there a real definition what is "latest"? In MP2 I list the newest recently imported items. Depending on media type, there are many possible date information available, let's give a few examples: The MediaAspect.ATTR_RECORDINGTIME contains a quite common date: for Audio/Movies there is the "release year". For TV recordings it's...

Nice going Morph and Wiz!!! 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.

Although i really like some of the splashscreens posted, but when i boot my system (while the room is dark) some splashscreens are just to bright for my eyes. I'm more into fanart, but the problem with fanart is that its get old after a while. If you want a basic loading screen here is something i made. I picked up the .PSD from...

Tomorrow I don't have time to continue, but the next days I will try to include your recommendation. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, my fault ;) The "menu items" are defined by so call workflow actions. For SlimTV you'll find them in https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2/blob/dev/MediaPortal/Incubator/SlimTvClient/Skin/default/workflow/SlimTvClient-actions.xml#L10. I still have constant literals included, not a resource tag. For a quick fix, place...

You can create a theme. For that you just replace the Skin files you want to Change and leave the rest in place. The wiki is a good place to start on learning MP1 skinning.

I also prefer to have a consistent screen layout (means not to hide labels if content is missing). While we can implement fallback texts already using MultiBinding, it would cause a lot of (XAML-)overhead for each label. A new "FallbackContent" property would be easier. Another, probably the architectural best way, is a converter...

Not sure if its related or not but the TranslateTransform values will not parse at my end because of using ',' instead of '.' <TranslateTransform X="0,8" Y="0,5"/> <!-- parse error -> <TranslateTransform X="0.8" Y="0.5"/> But perhaps this is just a localization thing between German and English cultures

Thanks for feedback. The "window buttons" are missing indeed, I left them away in the beginning and did not re-add them again.
