Apollo One (1 Viewer)

@morpheus_xx just out of interest do the XAML files for this skin look in any way similar to the ones originally produced by Blend (assuming you even started with the Blend output)?

 

[morpheus_xx]

Well, in principle yes. If you look at the main screen template: https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...loOne/Skin/ApolloOne/screens/master_bare.xaml.

But MP2 depends heavily on styles (resources). If you want to work the same way inside Blend you have to extract the inline style of controls into a resource. This one will then be used like <Grid Style="{StaticResource myCoolGridStyle}">. The idea is clear: define

But I have not yet used Blend so much to know how it works there. Usually I use it only to design things like Gradients or try out different layouts.

This looks great!

But you want to make it difficult for me, aren't you
(But I take the challenge, of course )

Just out of curiosity:

the lower 1/4th of the screen is the info-area, as far as I understand. I have seen in your mockup, that there are either media items (player) or infos to the selected item. My question is what happens if:

a) there is no info and no media item
b) there is a info and one or two media items

 

[wizard123]

A. won't be a regular occurrence for 90% users but i'm hoping to have horizontal scrolling news or weather etc like there is in Athena home screen now when nothing else is needed to be displayed.

B. I think i posted this earlier in the thread that when info is displayed and there is media playing the players will slide out of view while viewing info and hopefully a button to jump to those players if you want to.

I checked if it is possible to center the workflow bar. Answer is: no. Unfortunately it's (currently) not possible. So I will focus on other parts.

I've started to change the media styles (first step: series cover). Problem is that we currently don't have a "most watched" filter, so we can't fill the right side now.

Obvious: scrollbar style missing

 

[morpheus_xx]

As we don't have content for right side now, I thought we could place fanart of selected item on right side instead. It's inspired by the list layout, where fanart is also shown right.

I continued with "movie collection". As we don't have much information here (only title and cover/fanart), I took the same layout as for series:

Series:

Movie collection:

New MediaItem highlight added (currently simple white border)
