BlueTwo reskinned for 1280x720 (mp .2.0.4) (2 Viewers)

[Boilermaker]

On mesfilms (my films), I think i posted it earlier in this thread, maybe it was another thread...i originally left the update button out because (on my htpc anyway) it was blank and opened up a dialog box that didn't do much. I've included the button in this release. It's still blank and doesn't do much for me, but its probably there for a reason. I also moved the poster over and made it slightly bigger, but not as big as it is in the original plugin. The space in the lower left hand corner is reserved for audio and video overlays.

Also in this release:
Added/finished the tvguide overlay when watching full screen tv (i liked the miniepg better, but that seems to be gone. if somebody knows otherwise, pm me.)
updated myburner
updated mystocks
added skin files for Sudoku
cleaned up dvr-mpeg cut
added my torrents
added mypodcasts
added my DVDs
I've probably done more, but i lost track.
Most of these plugins are not included with mp, but can be found in the download section of the team-mediaportal website.

I have not had time to extensively test everything. On my htpc, using the 6/24 svn, all the screens load and the basic functions seem to work. If there are bugs, please post them and i will get to them when i can. I won't post a new version after every fix unless its a major bug. I'll try to update the skin files about once a month.

[this post was copied from the mce1280x720 thread, in which my Lyrics was requested for reskinning]
I have started to reskin mylyrics, it is not a very big xml file. However i have to set up the plugin, which in this case means setting up xml files with song lyrics or an account with a yahoo service. I'm more than happy to reskin plugins for the skins i maintain. In the future i only ask if you request a plugin that relies on an xml file to feed it information, that you provide me an xml file or a link to a sample xml file. This will greatly cut down on my time, i can skin instead of setting up a plugin (that i probably will never use), and it will also greatly increase the likelyhood that it will work the first time out.
Thanks.

I will upload a copy of the reskinned my Lyrics page this afternoon and provide a link.

One more note on mesfilms (my Films). The version i skinned for is 2.2.2. If you download v 2.2.3b you will notice there are some bugs even with the default blue two. I spent a few hours last night working with it the best i could, but its still pretty buggy skin-wise. I'm not sure whether i'm going to post what i have done, it will only lead to threads about the skin not working. It looks like the authors of mes films are working hard on some new features, but don't have them all worked out yet. For that reason, i don't plan on supporting v 2.2.3b in this skin.

EDIT: I've uploaded files for myLyrics, but it has not been tested extensively. I've also noticed there is now mesfilms v2.2.3C. I uploaded what i did for 2.2.3b, but use at your own risk; consider the skin file unsupported.

Hi! Is my favorite skin already fit for the 0200 final? I do hope so...

I will try your RC4 version and hope for the best

what is on the server right now should be pretty close to what i'm going to upload for .2. The changes so far:
Updated sudoku...for some reason the original skin file, not the 16x9 made it into the last upload

Fixed a minor navigation issue in myvideos

Added a few buttons in the tv section of settings

Added a button for skip steps in the general settings section, added the corresponding settings screen.

Look for something at the end of the weekend. Hopefully a few other people will try the file that's there now and find other errors that i can fix. When i do upload the new file, i'll post again to the thread.
Thanks

Skin updated for 0.2.0...only a few changes needed (so far) from the release a few weeks ago. I haven't tested it yet with the stability patch released for .2 nor has it been updated for any svn versions yet.

If you haven't got enough thanks for making this skin, here's another one. Keep it coming, please!

This is the one by which all others are measured.

I love BlueTwo. The best 16:9 skin I've come across.

Please keep up the good work. Thanks

Is anyone else having the problem where when you use the IMDB info, it only shows in a small window surrounded by black? I've seen this with other 16:9 skins too, so I wasn't sure if this is a problem with that part of MP, or a skinning problem.

Does it happen on any 4:3 skins? Chances are if it happens with two different skins by two different skinners, its an mp problem, but there is a chance its a skin problem. I'll try to duplicate the problem, but if you could post a screenshot it would make it easier to find and try to solve.

thanks.

Heres a screenshot for you.
