[QUOTE="morpheus_xx, post: 853799, member: 48495"] Hi all, are there any new ideas? I'd like to start working on a new skin :D There are new features for MP2 available, like support for Audio covers, Shader Effects and more metadata (i.e. series or recording information). I also took a look into MP1 Fanart Handler and asked cul8r if he wants to help porting it to a MP2 plugin... Some more information about MP2 skin engine you should read here [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Contribute/Skin_Design#Resource_lookup_chain[/url]. The skin engine is very flexible and allows "inheriting" styles and screens from the default skin. And because this default skin is very modular, skinners need to change "only" some colors and styles to create new and nice skins and themes :) With this architecture there will be probably never a MP1-like black screen with "no screen file found", because we can use the default screens with our skin's styles... And last note to vector graphics: once you got used to it, you don't want to miss it. I.e. in MP2 we need to define a button style only once (color, shading, border style) and this style can be used for any button size and aspect ratio, because it is freely scalable ... So skinner, show us some ideas and enter the new MP2 world, it's worth the try! Morpheus :) [/QUOTE]
