BlueTwo reskinned for 1280x720 (mp .2.0.4) (3 Viewers)

thanks harley...and nice work on your part. Besides looking great, the new buttons and functions for basichome is something all skinners should take advantage of.

Will there be a RC3-version of your MCE skin as well?

 

[Boilermaker]

yup, one at a time tho...i've tried pretty hard to keep the xml basically the same between the two, for the most part its just copying them from one skin to the other. I've said it a few times before, mce is my skin of choice, but i did bluetwo because it seemed more popular.

Haven't used mp in a while...all the time i've spend on it has been skinning or working on stuff for the design team. Sometime this week (probably by thursday) i'll get the new version set up on my htpc and get the mce skin working..and i'll post it as soon as i do.

The RC3 version looks good....just one thing that I have noticed - in the My Music "Now Playing" screen, the "elapsed time" and the "total track time" values do not appear. They should be at either end of the pale blue horizontal track progress bar.

This might be because of changes made to the Now Playing screen in the last couple of days?

could be, i'll look into it. Haven't touched mp to even watch tv this week, let alone skin. I should get some time before the weekend tho.

EDIT: Changed the allowoverlay tag from "no" to "yes",now the play time is shown in the big numbers. Checked my xml against the regular bluetwo skin, i have the same tags with the same values as that skin (just in a different screen position). Neither skin has the total or elapsed time showing. Don't really know what that is.

Neither skin has the total or elapsed time showing. Don't really know what that is.

What version of MP are you running - there was a bug related to these times not appearing, that was fixed a couple of weeks back - you might be experiencing that? I can see the elapsed and total times in the default BlueTwo, but not in the 1280x720 version.

i'm using the rc3 release from the 18th. used the default mce skin and the times are there, the problem is in the default bluetwo, which i was using to make changes. the fix is simple:

replace the - in the track progress label with #currentplaytime
replace the - in the track duration label with #duration

it will be fixed in the "official" skin relase, along with a few other things i'm working on.

Yep, that fixed it - thanks......

RC 0.2.0.0 - SVN 04-15-2006

Downloaded this skin today. Very nice I must say.
Found an error... (I think)

There is a grey box in MyTV

One other thing...Why did they change the colors in tv-guide to green?
Now it looks like some green goo. Almost unreadeble.
(this is also in the standard Blue two)
I liked it better when it was blue.

I`m gonna stick with this skin and do some testing.
Keep up the good work

found some more...
In MYmusic when playing a song I cannot navigate anymore.
(neither with MCE remote or mouse/keyboard)
This also happens in Myradio. Maybe wmp is stealing focus?
In Mymovies folders has disapeard.
Checked in setup that the right folder was enabled.
In MyTV when pressing "start recording" the line doesnt change to
"stop recording"
Pressing the button again, recording stops and the line changes to
"stop recording"
