BleazleWide V7.1.0 (3 Viewers)

[abnormaliti]

Love the skin. Using V7 on MP 1.0.2.

Any chance of adding OnlineVideos plugin support? It works ok but is missing the icon/logo on the home screen and doesn't get the green highlight on the home screen either.

Thank,

Ben

Bleazle Splashscreen

Hi all,

I came up with this simple splashscreen.
Changed the background and made the statusmessages text a lot smaller and grey colored.
I couldn't think of any more to add. After all simplicity is key to the succes of the Bleazle skin. The only thing I would like to do is to move the line of statusmessages way down. I read the skin documentation and added '<posX></posX>' values to the 'splash.xml' but they had no effect.

Grtz,
T-Bone

Good work, the only thing I added was the MP logo..

I would suggest switching the font height for these labels and make Bleazlewide bigger than MediaPortal
I like it anyways (still being on 4x3, but keeping an eye on this skin for when the day comes.....)

Hi Ben

What about using the YouTube hover graphic? fading version available here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/bleazle-311/animated-fading-hover-images-57443/.

If you go to this post you'll see an XML file that will give you a green selection bar: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/bleazle-311/how-make-green-selection-bar-unsupported-plugin-60253/#post423406 (thanks to Cressari). This file is also included in the latest version of BleazleWide... see next post...

- Movie Info screen logo graphics fixed
- SysInfo - Horizontal bar (was too wide) fixed
- TVSeries - List Banner View - moved the banner to the bottom right of the screen
- TVSeries - darkened the overlay slightly to allow easier reading of programme info etc
- Music/Pics/Videos etc - removed "[ ]" from the currently selected item title (top right of screen)
- Music & Videos - Added "Current View" information (eg. "shares" "playlist" etc)
- Added support for MediaSlayer

- Added support for Shoutcast
- Changed backgrounds in TVGuide, RecordedTV (4TR, not the standard MP plugin), and all filmstrip views

Nice and clean skin, love it. Thanks for the update Bleazle.

Hope to see support for My Trailers and My Online Movies in the future (for now working with the Blue3wide xml's).

Or u take a screwdriver, take off the 128MB Card, open ur trashcan, put the 128MB pice into and close it.
OK, this hint is a little bit cheeky, but the result of our big thread about picture quality (unfortunaly in german) brings a result that can be translated in: Big graphic cards have big picture quality.

I started testing with onboard x1250. forget it. then i tried a NV 8400GS, then a 9500 GT, then a Radeon 4550 and at least a 4670 with big and very quiet cooler by arctic cooling. the 4670 is absolute the best in picture quality, flickering gui bug is gone, colors and sharpness are amazing. The 4670 stays in my htpc now. Even my NOT HTPC crazy wife says, that the picture now is much better than ever. Before she couldnt see difference for example between 8400 and 9500, just my "sensible" eyes saw. from lot of tests and cause the thread we try to fiddle out best quality i recommend this graphic card:

ALTERNATE - HARDWARE - Grafik - PCIe-Karten ATI - Radeon HD4000 - Sapphire HD4670

Sorry it was a little off topic, but when i read of 128MB graphic card, my hair stands and my blood pressure increases hehe

cu and thanks for the new release 7.1.0
