[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 846492, member: 18896"] They sure know how to spoil our fun of testing out new things, don't they? I put a lot of work into my own HTPC setup, but in short words I'm vetoed by her from making any visual or functional changes to MediaPortal now. Went through almost a court-martial when MediaPortal 1.2 made those big skin changes and I had to explain I did not do it. She would have made me go back to v1.1.x if it wasn't for the small fact that she was annoyed by the MP-TVSeries view situation we have. So once I explained MediaPortal v1.2 was needed to fix that due to hyperlink parameter support (with some 'pretty pictures' analogy used), she cornered me with the counter argument "well then just make it look the same, because I know you can alter the skin". So I ended up spending quite some time making MePo v1.2 look the same again as I had its predecessor look. At least we both agree that we don't like dark themes, so awesome skins such as StreamedMP were never an option. But if there was any skin I could convince her to switch over to, it would be this gorgeous Avallonis White theme. I'm actually currently reinstalling the OS on the HTPC, due to WinSxS issues that I tried to fix with WinSxSLite, but which misserably failed. It would have been perfect time to 'supprise' her with Avallonis White :sneaky: But unfortunatly it is not done yet, so will have to wait like everybody else. At least it will give me time to first play with the skin on my test box, so I can at least make all the modifications ahead of time, such as the hyperlink parameter adjustments. [/QUOTE]
