Aeon Wide (1366x768) (3 Viewers)

[daHive]

this seems to be becoming a great skin!
i can´t get it to work properly though:
i downloaded the aeon alpha from the homepage
then i downloaded the svn files from https://mp-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mp-plugins/trunk/skins/Aeon Wide/
but some newer media files seem to be missing(eg. green focus buttons like in bluetwo...) and i don´t know where i can get them?

i´ve made an example screen within tvseries, but it´s the same in other plugins too(tv, videos, weather...)

Hi Sambal

This has got rid of the crowding when MP first launched of the homescreen menu, brilliant, one request though, could the highlighted item be white, as grey on grey not good for reading.

Thanks

Only drawback is I was using the BasicHome.xml you posted on #260 , in which FanArt didn't disappear when pressing up buttons... and this version seems to be based on previous .xml. If only you could merge them both then it would be more than perfect.

Thanks again

The FanArt shouldn't disappear when you enter the upper menu. At least it doesn't on my machine. Did it also happen before you altered the file? Or if anybody else is experiencing this please let me know.

I explained why the crowding happened in this post. Also attached a fixed version of the BasicHome there. I guess i forgot to mention it in this thread. Sorry for that.

Regarding the colours, do you mean the text colour or the dark item background?
I made it easy to change the colours. At the top of the BasicHome.xml you see the following lines

  <define>#menuitemFocus:ff626262</define>
  <define>#menuitemNoFocus:ff232323</define>

Just alter these to your liking. If other colours turn out to be better i'll make them default.

O and i forgot to mention. Because of the new highlighted background image, you'll need to clear the Aeon wide cache folder. Should be something like
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache\Aeon wide

Not at all... I changed to the xml from post #260 just to avoid that behaviour...

Anyway I didn't clear the cache folder... I'll try it later and maybe that solves the problem...

EDITED : I cleared the cache folder and now it works 100% fine. Thanks, Sambal...

an early solution for the RSS functionality (ticker space below the menu buttons) can be found here:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...re-48/rss-feed-home-page-few-questions-42582/ With that modification in place this should be easy to implement right?

Could someone but together a release and UL to repository?

Sambal, about the problem with series with just one season, it seems it was a problem in TVSeries plugin.

"Revision 332
Fix for season banners not being displayed when season view is skipped (ie. local series with only 1 season available)"

I tried to update the plugin before posting, but SVN repository was down (or at least I couldn't reach it these days). I'll try this update and tell

The one with dexter looks just the way I want it too

All my backgrounds are dark, so atm the white lettering stands out much better, but then the idea is choice, hence both files.

Reversed the focus\nofocus of sambal's, as it seemed more logical to have the black as selected and also stands out more than the grey
