Till Yesterday I am forced to use Monochrome, to use Myfilms, cause I rather need it... ;-(

So if you find some time.... it would be very kind of you to implement MyFilms into this fantastic skin.

Best Regards

    but ill try it again ...(got a headache today)

    EDIT:

    - installed ant - catalog
    - installed myFilms
    - created a database-file (XML)

    but mediaportal crashes after 2 seconds when i start myFilms...

    RSS-Ticker weather and RSS Feed overlay

    LOVE the skin, absolutely perfect for any HTPC user! and blinding quick in comparison to others out there such as streamedMP etc. layout is top notch and a cool clean look! love it!

    just played about with the myhome.xml though as i am a great fan of the rss-ticker so here it is including the weather and rss overlay if anyone else is interested!

    just overright the one in the skins folder.

    thankyou

    hmm nice idea ...
    i like that ..

    but i would prefer it at the bottom of the skin ...
    (like the feeds in TV) ... also would do the the short-weather-forecast in the right down corner...

    reason :

    on top there are still some information fields:

    - the date-field
    - the 3-action-buttons ...

    so hmm :D if you would change it that way
    - it would be much more clearly arranged ...

    and fit more to the "clean-theme" of dark-essentials ...

    what do you think about that suggestion?

    only thing with having the rss feed at the bottom is that in runs into the video overlay, although i do agree the weather overlay could be moved to the lower right hand corner, filling the screen much better. try this??

    that looks mutch better ...
    but for me - the top rss-feed is still a bit disturbing the impression in all @ myHome

    hm maybe it is possible to slow down the rss-feed scroling speed and make the
    field-box fit next to the overlay ... ? (not so wide as it is now)
    so th notch is still given ... and the "video-overlay" does not overlay the RSS-Feed ...

    @ the moment i am deep in the "myFilms"-XML's on my rare free seconds in the office ;)
    so i couldn't give u a written sample of my thoughts ...
    (allways hard for me to switch between two surfaces XML's)

    EDIT:

    @ all

    MesFilms.XML is done
    now in progress:

    MesFilmsDetail.XML
