Blue Vision (6 Viewers)

[ge2301]

I slightly improved the icons and added # of embedded items to gridview.
Below style is applied to "browsing", "grouping" and "filtering" and align with the other styles.

I think the focus frame of the list view without fanart looks a too much enlonguated. I'm thinking to shorten it, eventhough no fanart available.
Reference is the mixed view with mediatiems and groups:

@Lehmden
Attached the updated mediastyles. I tried to play with all combinations and viewstyles and looks fine. But I don't stop you to have a look as well

The container.png needs to be placed in /images

Where are the rectangle overlays with text for menu buttons defined? I hope not in the HomeMenumodel ...
Thanks!

Hi.
Is not working here. Gives an xaml parse error:

XAML loader: Error parsing file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\Plugins\BlueVision\Skin\BlueVision\themes\default\styles\MediaStyles.xaml' ---> MediaPortal.UI.SkinEngine.Xaml.Exceptions.XamlBindingException: Could not evaluate markup extension 'StaticResource ResourceKey=MediumRadius'

Oh, I made a lot of changes in the background code lately. I think it's time to make a new release of BV.
You also need to replace attached file ... hopefully nothing more needed.

Now it's working. But atm I don't have a lot of recordings (just cleared them, only a single recording left) so I will need some time (probably until tomorrow) before I can get real test results.

It's here: https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...s/default/styles/OtherControls.xaml#L427-L455, line 447

Thanks Sometimes I'm blind in thousands of code lines

I overworked the general design of BlueVision. This is mainly affecting menus:

• New Power Button design
• Power button is on right side -> When going up from mediaitems user always reaches the last group menu item. This means at least a small improvement
• Number of items are shown below the category label and not 270° rotated next to fanart
• Accordingly the time and date style is also modified
  
• The main menu buttons look now as planned. The darkened bank is in the bottom

There are also many further changes in the background, therefore I'll upload a new download version of the skin.
