4:3 skin ::: aMPed 2.0 final (1 Viewer)

One of my screens is also 1280x1024 and I don't get the overlap. This stuff just drives me crazy! Do you use any overscan? I mean did you set a Screen Calibration using MP Settings or adjust screen size using your gfx card settings? I know you are not concerned about it, but I'm trying to learn as much as possible about how things change on different screens/setups so we can design accordingly. Our users have been a great help!

i never calibrated the screen, im using a intel 946 chipset for gfx, its onboard, the resolution was set automatically after i installed vista, so i assume the driver setup it up

Thanks Happy. I suppose different gfx cards/drivers could cause slight variations, but I'm no tech gfx guru!

Nice skin ..
But i have some problems with the menues in MyMusik and MyVideo ..
If there is a file playing (Music or Video) the menues get very slow. Not really useable. With Blue everything works very smooth.
Are there some min. System requirements for this skin ?

I checked this out on my system, all is smooth for me. But I got a highend PC running the job;
E6750, 2GB DDR2 667MHz, HD3650 512MB

As a fix I suggest doing the following:
- Find and open these files in an editor:
* mymusicsongs.xml (My Music)
* mymusicgenres.xml (For My Music Genre view)
* myvideo.xml (My videos)
- Replace the following value of "yes" with "no" in all xml's
* <allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>

I do not know if I got all of the problematic ones for you. It should be speeding up the menu afterwards I guess; because there's less heavy overlaying going on.

------EDIT------

grishnbot, you can try the attached file, let me know if it helps and solved all issues.
Unzip the files directly into aMPed skin folder

New release will be here soon.
I just wanted to give you guys a little teaser and maybe you can comment on what you think of it.
The screenshot attached shows the plugin SysInfo. I have integrated the Drive Free Space plugin in the menu of SysInfo.
Besides that I have added buttons for My Speedfan and FANatic monitor (if they are enabled / installed)

1.1 will also bring a whole MP games redesign. For all changes since 1.0.1, see Changelog
