BleazleWide Skin V 6 (3 Viewers)

[Cuitlahac]

Hi Dave,

hope you enjoy your holidays and don't get sun burned too much (btw -10° C up here in germany )

1. Again I found an "unbleazled" part in this wonderful skin wich disturbs the look a little bit. You can find it when watching a video and pressing "y" for OSD. The info box is still blue. No big issue, but we want it to become perfect, don't we?

2. Well, even if this version looks good on wide screens already I think it would be great if you could make it a real wide screen skin. Most users are using wide screen tvs and so this transforming could keep some confusion away. It would also make it easier to just copy skin files for yet "unbleazled" plugins into bleazle folder, I think. Some more work for you i know, but I'm sure it would pay in the future when supporting bleazle skin. But only you can say if you want to invest that much time. On the other side you are now absolutely fresh and motivated after your wonderful holidays full of kite-boarding, mountain biking, beer drinking, sun bathing and so on, aren't you? I know you are...

3. Sorry Dave, I think bleazle skin is far too good to keep it "under the radar". More than 3300 downloads and counting... Think positive: You now have a nice hobby for the next few months and we all love you for what you do

Best regards,
Michael

Just another thing to add to the list... I am getting movie info listed on the left hand side when selecting which share to go into.

Obviously there is many movies in the shares so it shouldn't be listing any movie info in the shares view.

Hi, I'm a noob to MediaPortal and just playing - I came across Bleazle and love it. BUT, it always seems a bit blurry/blocky on my largest TV, 1360x768 (40").

I hate it when people say "I can't be bother to read through 17 pages", but I can't be bothered to read through 17 pages... is there a larger version around, or any plans for a larger version?

no this is currently the only version around, but there are whispers of a 16:9 version being made that might improve things for you.

No problems whatsoever on my Sony Bravia 1920x1080p 40" TV though. What interface are you using? composite? vga? hdmi? Think it must be there somewhere.

For all others and to Dave: I agree a skin based on Blue3Wide would be best.
If you need help with it, let me know! If you're not going to do it: fine, my configuration works perfect for what I'm doing with it (viewing movies)

Happy holidayz!

+1. i think its something to do with your setup, as its crystal clear on my setup as well.

Hmmm, okay, let me have a play. The only thing I can say is it didn't seem as "sharp" as monochrome/indigo does, but I'll try it again and let you know.

Edit: it looks fine now. The only issue I have with blockiness is the font on the guide looks blocky. Also, if I bring the guide up in front of the TV picture, the "next" programs are almost the same colour as the background, so can't be seen.

I mean, they can't be seen unless highlighted.

bringing the guide up as a transparency in front of the the TV picture is probably not that commonly used on here, so Dave probably hasnt noticed the issue to fix it.

stick a screen shot up so we can see what you mean.

xml questions

Hello,

thanks for your great skin!

I have two problems:
1. The DVD Covers have been to narrow in the list-view, thus I modified the xml-file and now it looks great on my 4:3 TV. But still an error occurs, in the original version as well as in version modified by me: When scrolling (up and down) trough the list the covers sometimes dissapear. Can you imagine were the problem may be found?

2. On the EPG search screen the program info is placed in a wrong hight. Where can I find the parameters to place the text in a lower position?

Greetings Cerberus
