New botton style created for DialogueCheckBoxes (They are also visible now, when unfocused)

@morpheus_xx
I went to all setting menus to be sure that all styles are fitting. Only the setting dialog of the ShutdownMenu seems to refer to another checkbox style (see screenshot).
There is no style defined in https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...default/styles/SystemStateStyles.xaml#L23-L28
The other CheckBoxes refer to DefaultCheckBoxStyle, which I modified. I think DefaultCheckBoxStyle could be added to the CheckBox in SystemStateStyles.xaml, but I do not want to touch files outside of BV in order not to mess up something.

EDIT: ArrowColor is changed from "Blue" to "LightGray"

Fixed: the implicit style was missing: <Style BasedOn="{ThemeResource DefaultCheckBoxStyle}" TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}"/>

I just added support for custom splash screens. Next will be a setup model. I try to continue work on it this week, but am very busy at work...

Thanks a lot!! I'm in Korea this week and also not able to work on MP2, so don't worry. The other thing is, that every evening there is a drink event, so I won't be able to work, even if I want

Na denn..

I just have pushed first changes for settings:

• Support for disabling Home
• Support for disabling AutoSelection

Next will be a configuration dialog. I think it should also be accessible from Settings->Appearance->Skin.

@ge2301 in which place you'd like to see the background images exactly?

Currently the settings menu looks like this:

I think there will be never more than one tile. And practically users need to press 2 times on "settings", thats not so good. My idea was to add here tiles for different setting categories. There is space for up to 6 tiles.
My proposal would be following. What do your think?

• The settings menu would look not so empty. If you like the idea I'll create tile images for each category.
• Users can reach to each category faster.

The background image option I would place here:

(PS: Realized there is a small bug. The "playlist" entry remains always, even, if you go into another option)

The "playlists" button is intentionally visible in all workflow states (was discussed multiple times already). Each plugin can decide where to add actions, with source=* it appears everywhere.

There are no other groups yet inside settings, so adding tiles will not be possible atm.

I used the search function and found all the infos about "playlists". I never haved clicked "playlist" and always thought it's a playlist for media items. Might be a little bit confusing entry for users not knowing the background as me

There are no other groups yet inside settings, so adding tiles will not be possible atm.

Hmm ok. Another solution could be to leave the main tile "settings" and use 4 more tiles as "shortcuts" to some frequently used entries. But would for mid-term prefer the mentioned category solution instead of selecting 2 times "settings". Anyway, it would be only an optimisation and is not a critical point.

Hi.
I've used the "free space" for some important plugins (e.g. AppLauncher, something I'm using daily) that are otherwise get "lost" inside the "others" section.
In the long term it would be good if the user has as much freedom configuring the menu as possible.
Personally I don't need the settings that often. For me it could be added as a tile in "Others". But with one exception.... This only is useful to me if there is a way to trigger a manual refresh of a media source from inside the media view. A "refresh share" button in context menu of e.g. Recordings view should trigger a refresh of the recordings share, this button in Series view should refresh (all) the series share and so on... This is something that did not exist jet, but I'm pretty sure this would increase the usability and user experience a lot...

@azzuro
Thanks for reporting the bug. I have overworked the virtual keyboard design and position.
There is no more overlapping of the target text box by Keyboard, box will appear always below target text box --> You can see what you write

• Keyboard size reduced
• Color setting adjusted to overall DialogStyle
• Unfocused button background (e.g. SPACE is visible now)
