Black Glass Skin 2.4.0 (1 Viewer)

[Argonaut]

I have a strange problem with 2.4.0 - after I installed this skin, Mediaportal starts to load it gets part way through the loading process and then MP closes. Version 2.3.0 loads without problems

Another unusual problem seems to be that since I installed and started using this skin, my PC will not go to standby automatically anymore, but it did when I was using Blue3wide.

Any suggestions on what the problem may be would be appreciated, as I reallly want to stay with Black Glass...

Thanks Jason

Is there a way to integrate the alternative Home Menu into the mpe1 installer, so that you can choose during install process?
Would be also interesting for an update, so that the installer already knows that you are using the alternative home menu and therefore install the update automatically the right way.

BTW what about the alternative background colors?

I'll try in the next release.

The alternative background colors are automatically generated by the Basic Home editor.

Thanks for your answer, would be fine anyway not to use the editor for basic modifications like this, but to have a choice within the installer. Since you added the alternative backdrops to your extras for a long time and for me it has become a real part of the skin itself.

i'm having an odd problem with filmstrip mode in moving pictures and my music. i've tried to narrow it down but it seems to be completely random. when cycling through filmstrip view or even just sitting on a movie or artist in filmstrip view, the facade for thumbnails kicks in and the item info disappears.

when this happens the only thing you can do is hit enter and then escape, or escape and then enter (to get back to browsing)

can anyone else recreate this bug? if my descriptions no good let me know and i'll try to screen capture the problem.

more importantly thanks TGX, great improvements on an already fantastic skin. i still stand by black glass as my favorite skin above all else.

The basic home editor includes the colored backgrounds because this is the only way to create the preview and splash pics with your own buttons and favorite background color.
Many people requested this feature. This way it's very easy to create your own theme!

I think that if you want to use the basic home, using the editor is virtually mandatory, unless you are happy with the default button disposition!

Thanks

I'm not a heavy user of the filmstrip view, but until now, nothing similar has happened to me. Maybe a new MP Rc2 bug? Anybody else?

Maybe i am to stupid, but how do i change the background colors within complete skin (Music, TV, Video,....) from Blue to Black with the Editor. (Like it was with the Themes in the old Extra package).
I know there is a button for "Background Black" button it seems not to apply to what i want...

Hi tgx,

is this -> https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ntain-text-label-i-e-32-objects-before-82465/ something you can fix in the skin or does it require additions in the language files?
