Can’t get 2.0f working at all. I’m getting an error when I enter the configuration page.  Went back to 2.0d.  I’m running SVN 14949 and I did remove previous files (this is a PITA if you change SVN twice a week and have 7 MediaPortal machies to do!) FIXED – Didn’t realise I had to delete BHAAhCmdLine.dll for it to work!2. Can’t get the <text1Align>left</text1Align> to do anything.3. Would like to be able to not show the device state as text (on a per device basis) as for the most part the level graphics give enough information.4. It would be nice to be able to use the level graphics for the sensors, this would require a range setting in the plugin configuration. For example, using my temperature sensors the range I would like to apply to the level graphics is -10C is level_0 to +40C is level_10, and for my Netiom analogue the range it produces is 0 to 1023, but sometimes not all of this range is needed for the level_0 to Level_10.5. Could the OSD screenpop be sent an icon as well as text like other screepops in MediaPortal.  For example I have drawn the xAP logo as an icon matching the rest of my icon set. 6. Anyone know how to get the word ‘Automation’ added to the strings files in MediaPortal, don’t know who to ask.7. Will Edward’s xFx v2 help longer term with the dll conflicts/overwriting.Recently I have messing with scripts and triggers in xAP Floorplan.  I have managed to get a sensor to tell xAP when my front gate has been opened, trigger the OSD in MediaPortal with the plugin, get the camera to take 3 stills 5sec apart and place them in the ‘My Pictures’ in MediaPortal!  (I don’t really need ‘Crack House’ security, but a client did ask!)Attached are the skin files for both Replicant and ReVision, they’re not perfect but they work for me.  I have also attached level graphics to match the skin and a number of home automation icons (matching the UK TV and Radio set I’ve been working on) they’re a bit rough though!  Please fell free to ask for additions or fixes, if it looks OK, I’ll pass it on to Psycho Reptile for inclusion in the skin.<a href="http://www.typetech.org/mediaportal/ReVison%20and%20Replicant%20Skins.zip" target="_blank">Replicant & ReVision Skins</a>Please note that to get the word ‘Automation’ at the top you need to add <String id="9195">Automation</String> to your strings file in the Language folder and that I can’t check the alignment for the Dialog Box cause I don’t know how to invoke it!This should really be core plugin at some stage.  I don’t think people realise how useful and capable it is.  Thanks Patrick for continuing developing it.</blockquote>
