Ok, I tried to match the colors with that nice looking mod.
Preview:
If this is fine, download this file (right click and save into your skins media folder) - note you still need the zip from above for the xml and two other small files.
I also made a smaller version (because I read someone saying something about wanting a smaller video OSD in another thread) without the plot and thumbnail info (only movies have them anyway, right?).
Instructions:
(I suggest you backup your entire skin folder just in case.)
put the xml into the skins main folder, and the png's into the media folder.
If you want the gold or steel version, rename the png you want to osd_bg.png and it should work.
I havent tested it against the TV, which is where you guys are having problems and bluetwo uses the same background for the osd of these two. I havent edited the xml for the tv osd, which is why the elements, such as text is align wrong.
if I get to it a new version will be up tonight, if not, then tomorrow.
