BleazleWide Skin V 6 (2 Viewers)

[Bleazle]

Version 5a is available for downloading! Link is on the first post of this thread....

I made another little change this morning before uploading it - I've changed the green button on the home screen to make it a little less "glary"

I'm interested to know if anyone using this skin uses ForTheRecord and if so how does it look? I was hoping to get it up and running on my system before Christmas but it's not going to happen...

Anyway I hope you like the new release

Your file
MP-TVSeries.logoRules
has hard coded c:\programe files .... etc

Presume this needs to be changed if we have installed to a different drive etc?

You can if you want to. I've included the black and silver logos from MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - TVSeries Logos in the media files but if you've got some other logos you want to use just point to them and you should be fine.

Looks nice, I will give it a try

Just added this note to the first post but figured I should put it here too (I've added it to the README file for future uploads/versions):

If you install any of the supported Plugins AFTER you install this skin DON'T select the "Bleazle" skin if you're given the option during installation because this will overwrite the included file.

@ Cressari & Cuitlahac: haha - Anyone reading your comments on the download page will think you've been paid money to say those things! cheers guys, I'm getting a lot of "job satisfaction" putting this skin together because I'm really just doing it for myself but it's great to hear others are getting something out of it too. It's really made me appreciate what the real skinners do as well!!!

EDIT: WOW! over 100 downloads since I uploaded the latest version about 5 hours ago

Just tried the skin, it is very nice looking and could be great!

I am just not getting any description down the bottom for my videos in big icon mode.... It is showing half of the cover and no writing about the movie down the bottom ?

Suggestions?

I haven't tried your skin yet, but will do once I get the time. Am using ForTheRecord. Do you include skin files for it? Or do I need the skin files from some other skin?

And btw, once you try it, you won't even want to go back. It's amazing. Scheduling is such a breeze, and you never have to worry about whether they change the epg so your show starts half an hour earlier.

Great!!

Glad you like the skin I'm not sure what's happening with your videos though. Here's a screenshot I've just taken of My Videos in Big Icon mode. The titles are shown except for the highlighted video which is shown in the top right corner (as per Blue3). Is this the view you mean? I've checked My Films (the plugin) as well just in case you meant that but it was fine too.

If it's not a skin issue (maybe some of the "regular" posters in this thread could check to see what they get & let us know...) maybe it's something to do with your screen resolution? Can you post a screenshot?

... Am using ForTheRecord. Do you include skin files for it? Or do I need the skin files from some other skin?

FTR isn't supported as such (because I haven't got it on my system yet) but since it just replaces the TV part of MP it should work if installed after this skin is installed by selecting the "Bleazle"skin during installation - the "stock" XML file should be fine, you just won't get any of the logo animations that you get in the rest of the skin.

I guess if FTR is already installed you could just copy the appropriate XML files from Blue3 (not Blue3 wide) into the Bleazle skin folder and it would be fine.....

If you could let me know how you get on that would be great.

Cheers

Here is a screen shot from the main page and it shows what I thought that the big icons would show with the description down the bottom...

I think I must have been confused as to how the big icons would look. Never mind if that is how they should be...

It would be nice have a brief description down the bottom in the case that the person doesn't know much about the movie.
