How about a 1920x1080 native skin while you are at it
I am semi-working on my own, but the skin engine is a mystery to me and the skin editor doesn't seem to support non standard resolutions/aspect ratios very well.
Hey, finally had a day off today and I've fixed the issue with Hover Images.
Since I'm motivated I will fix some other small things real quick and post the updated skin in a few hours
As for a widescreen skin, nah, I'm sorry thats just too much work. You basically have to redo every page. Feel free to modify it yourself however you like, but I won't do it, sorry ;-(
Edit: Ahh, this is driving me nuts. All out of a sudden MP wont start anymore with the skin selected. Giving me some sort of Exception in error log (and a popup with the exception when trying to select a skin in configuration):
06.01.2006 20:13:45 InitializeDeviceObjects() exceptionystem.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Anybody know why this is? If at least I knew which file it doesnt load.......argghhh. It's things like these that slow development down.
I even tried copying back the media folder of another skin.......no difference.
Probably gonna take a day longer now.....unless I find a solution for this soon.
Started over with my changes and have now uploaded the file. I have tested it in 800x600, 1024x768 and 12..... ahm, something times something, lol. So in theory it should now work in a all 4:3 resolutions.
Per request I have also changed the music hover image and also fixed the keynavigation in osd1 (myvideos).
1) The icons in the upper left of the main menu (exit for example) are a bit too small.
2) On the tv guide page, the column next to the channel icon that has the channel name and number is white text on a very light blue background. Very difficult to see with such low contrast. Making the text color the same as the channel entries with the same light blue background (black) would be better.
3) The title line of the notification dialog (caller ID for example) has the text font too small. You can't really see it. If it was the same size as the rest of the text in the dialog it would be great.
4) The progress bar etc. in the tvzaposd.xml is too far to the left. If you move both progress bars and the start and end times 20 to the right (add 20 to x coordinate) if looks good.
5) There is curently no way to get the visualization on My Radio to go full screen. Having a topbar with a button to go full screen like projectx has would be great.
