Hi.
Hope this will be here to download soon....

What issue remains is that:

1. The group item is not always "white highlighted". I think this happens when navigating "back"
2. When navigating forward (i.e. enter the News plugin), the focus will jump to group menu, not the content area (which would be expected)

I think a solution for both would be to use another property for marking the item as "Selected" in our meaning, not the default one which affects setting focus to selected items.

Yes, this seems to work. Changes are pushed already and I'm preparing a new (internal) snapshot...

It's working like a charm I could not see any strange behaviors any more while navigating wildly through all menus up and down. I think it's first time I can talk about a good navigation that is close to my idea.

PS: Just realized a minor thing: The shadows of the MI in home screen are not fitting 100% to the posters at the rounded corners. This is because the posters are transformed in size to exactly fit into the home screen.
This is besides the flexible image size in list view (uniform for videos) also a reason why I couldn't add shadows to the MI posters there. By changing the view size in list view, the posters, but not shadows are transformed. If the ScaleTransform could be applicable also for the shadows, at least one problem could be solved. I'll give another try ...

Hi.

Did you have a chance to take a look into the new version?

Yes some minutes ago.
Looks great so far. Home screen did not produce the long delays any more. I will test it some time as it's to early to tell it did not crash any more...

But the TV part is partially working only (with the old skin files, missed I some new ones?)

Later today I will adapt my theme to the new version as it looks promising ....
Only the TV issue is not that nice...

Is the TV issue (missing tiles) solved with (internal) Pre Summer Release #3?

@high
Not sure, if you are the right one. But there is a bug in the new homepage.
https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/mp2-skins/blue-vision

In the download section of BlueVision it says, that "DayNight" is the uploader. Actually it should be me (ge2301) and when I click on the profile of "DayNight", I can see my posts.
Is there something mixed up in the user database? I can still login with my user name on the main page, but only when switching the language to English. If the language is German I can not log in.



I'm not able to edit the download post of BV anymore!

Yes, it looks so.
Navigation still is not 100% perfect but it's a galaxy ahead of the previous versions, so really great job. Thanks.

BV is growing, nicely. Up to V 0.6 I would call it a baby and now it's a teenager...

Thanks to Morpheus, he applied the changes to the group menu code
When the skin settings are available and the auto selection can be deactivated everybody can choose according to the preferences. I think from navigation point of view the only larger open point is the button assignment of remote controls. access to hidden menus, scrolling in lists (e.g. double press on "up" scrolls up one screen) and access to group menu (E.g. green button)

Hi.

from navigation point of view

Sometimes the focus is not where it should be. And when you are "deep inside" a menu Item and navigate to the menu then a press on "OK" should lead to the main item. But instead it leads to nothing (means you stay where you are...)
Example of what I mean... You are in a season view of a series:

Then you navigate to the Menu (with cursor up):

When you press "OK" here, nothing happens.

Instead the first page of the videohub should appear after an OK button press on a main menu item, imho:

Then you navigate to the Menu (with cursor up):

When you are at this point and press two more times "back", you are already in the main menu. The group menu will only react on pressing OK, if the autoselection is deactivated in future settings menu or Morpheus adds a small fix by time.

A question, not directly related to this skin:

Should we add a flexible line height for labels? The feature already exists in D2D branch, but would improve readability of long texts. I guess code changes can be done on one day.
