Blue3++ (a 4:3 skin mod) - 0.1.3 (2 Viewers)

[joz]

Hey Cybertex,

Have you thinked about re-design MyTV and/or For The Record TV section (very similar) ?

I use MyTV (For The Record) and TV Guide a lot. MyTV layout is good for me, and maybe a change in font size could be enough. Maybe with more inputs from others we could arrange a set of requirements

Well as I don't have a TV card in the PC i'm doing this skin for the answer is bluntly; "no".
I will have a look at the TV section but it does not have priority. A small readability update however I could do pretty quick
I never used ForTheRecord before so I have to install this on my desktop (which does have a tvcard) to test stuff out.

Joz, I am modifying the TV Guide for myself, I'll uplaod the file when I get it finished and you can include it in the next release if you like. Let me know when you need it. Sure do wish the TV Logos did not have to be square! So few of them are in native format!

 

[joz]

an idea. any comments?



Top bar = sidebar
Can fit more stuff in there offourse and can make it work with myhome too.

 

[Cybertex]

Looks good; I don't use topbar very often, but could be a solution...

A question: The meteo info in the top left corner; I don't see it in my MP. Should I add any plugin or other?

 

[joz]

it's rssticker and you should configure it. It should show an image too of the weather but the refresh plugin made it crash
I scold at this plugin but can't live without it either. Makes testing so much faster.
I think I should sleep a night on my idea. Not really sure yet if it would be a little more annoying, although I kinda like the effect.
I'm not really missing any space for navigation so don't know if it can provide any kind of extra usability or coolness

ahhhhh

Good to know, another little task for this evening

Hey dadeo,

took a look at your mesfilms just now and redone it myself a bit cause you were overlapping other (optional) labels That's why I left some space there.
Got it working now will be part of 0.1.1. Decided not to mess with tv specific stuff yet

 

[mike7]

If you or any one else could make a list of stuff that's not multilanguage yet I will have a go at it for 0.1.1 release

I can make the list, but only in the beginning of January, not for 0.1.1 release time :sorry:
For the moment I use only MyFilms and TVSeries ... I can check only these plugins and home.

I have one issue with TVSeries, Fan Arts working only for the first time entering to the Season or Episodes view, if I return to the Home and try to enter again to the TVSeries Fan Arts disappeared.

In MyFilms I use hierarchy, but it doesn't look good in the skin, could you please move hierarchy a bit upper?

I'll have a look at those. Still you know then you will have to add rusian language labels to your xml right (atleast that's what I'm thinking, really new to this)? Stuff that's specific for MyTVSeries for example. I'm not really into this yet so I'll have to do some research. There'll probably be already quite a lot of keywords like genre in the language files. Have to look for it and see.

This is no skin issue. Either MPTVSeries or the MP version you're running. Can't seem to replicate this either.

In MyFilms I use hierarchy, but it doesn't look good in the skin, could you please move hierarchy a bit upper?

What's hierarchy and how do I test this?

Hi joz,
just installed Blue3++ 0.1, but MP doesn't start anymore; it gives me a D3D error during initialization. Of course, I removed all plugins but problem still remain.

With Blue3 MP starts normally; Blue3++ 0.0.5 worked ok, but I've deleted the files

Here are the log files, maybe you (or someone else) could have a look, thanks.
