Looks great.
Not quite the same idea as I had, but maybe I'll go this route.
What I was planning was to keep the original structure and modify myVidoes icon to link to a sub menu. Maybe even MyPlugins...where all the movie plugins will be located...I'll post a screenhot if I can get it done.
Thanks for highlighting the XML. Really helpful.

Graphic design isn't my strong point - I could come up with something but it wouldn't be anything special
Hopefully someone watching this thread will head your call and make something up for you - if they post it here (and it ties in with the skin) I'll include it in the next release Yeah that would be frustrating
Are you talking about the red highlight that programmes set to record show in the guide? I would've thought FTR would use the same graphic as Blue3Wide (and by extension BleazleWide) does. I've just compared the two MEDIA folders and Blue3Wide doesn't have any extra graphics that BleazleWide doesn't (other than a few which are no longer required such as the Blue3Wide Basic Home screen graphics) so I can't see why it isn't working?...@ bebbetufs & diskeeper: I don't use the Basic Home screen but if I did I can see why sub menus would be a nice touch. I've attached the latest version of the Basichome XML file which you might want to play around with (the icons aren't squashed now and the "zoom in" has been toned down a bit). Personally I prefer the horizontal sub menu as used in XFace...
Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with
Bleazle.

Nice work
The only changes I would make are to get rid of the colour (because none of the other hover logos have colour, apart from in the Basic Home screen), reduce the reflection a little bit and put it on a 460x460 canvas - like this:
But that's just me
I've made almost all the fixes I require. I have moved everything but Moving Pictures TV series the NRK browser, myVideos and TV to "home plugins. I then changed the myVideos link on Basic Home to link directly to the plugins menu. This way I can access all film related content from one sub-menu. I've also made some icons for myEmylator so I can launch my games directly from BH. It replaces myPictures which I don't use.
Finally I made a new icon for myEmulators for the Home Screen as well as for the myEmulator menu.
These may be based on copyrighted material though, so I don't think i should post them here.
I have some questions though, how do i change the text labels on basic home?
I would like to change "pictures" to "games" and "videos" to "watch".
And could you have a look at the myEmulators plugin? it is made for Blue3(wide?) but does not display correctly. The "views"/side menu does not fade away properly and the graphics overlap a lot.
Thanks for a super skin. I'm loving it.

Bleazle,
I am not sure if either have any effect on your skin.
But, MyTvSeries 2.1 has been released
Also, fforde made a post about skiners for his upcoming version of Moving Pictures 0.7 later this week: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/skins-50/moving-pictures-0-7-skining-changes-54065/
Also, in MyTvSeries, I have noticed that in banner view, on the front page before selecting a TV Series, that there is a blank/grey box that says "No Episode picture to show" or something like that... I will get a screen shot if you need. I am just wondering if that is a skin issue or should I speak with the TvSeries dev ?

Bebbetufs:
In the <control> section for the control you want to change, look for the <label></label> element. The value found here references the language file (for English it's \Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\language\strings_en.xml) and inserts the corresponding text. E.g. "1" is "Pictures".
To change the label you have two options:
1 Leave the number value as it is and change the corresponding text in the strings_en.xml. This has the advantage that it will work with any skin but also the disadvantage that it is universal i.e. every occurrance of the text will be changed.
2 Enter the new text directly (in BasicHome.xml) that <label>1</label> becomes <label>games</label>. This is a little easier but you will have to change every occurrence and do this every time you update the skin.

Yeah that would be frustrating

Hi again ... Thanks for the answer.
Yep I was indeed talking about the red highlights in the guide. Ive got it working now \o/
Either by deleting the cache or more likely by copying the 4TheRecord *.png files from Blue3Wide 'media' to the Bleazle 'media' folder (there were no 4TheRecord files there).
I thought it was only necessary to copy the XML files from the folder above it.

Cheers - already had TVSeries update installed - it's worth doing - the rotating of fanart is much better. Hadn't picked up on the MovingPictures info though so thanks for the pointer. I'll wait until it's released and then see what needs changing....
I don't know what's causing that - I take it you mean the banner view as shown below? I took that screenshot today and as you can see the grey box isn't there. The grey box should only show up in the screen which lists the episodes, as shown in the second screenshot.
So did I - hopefully I'll have FTR supported for the next release but if not I'll add this info to the the README file - thanks for the update and glad to hear you got it sorted
Dave
