    Hi there,

    First of all:

    BIG :D 2 the "Maya-Crew" - it IS an amazing skin

    Maya is developed by:

    Design & concept: Joost 'Joostzilla' Scholte, the Netherlands
    Lead coding: Mikkel 'Pilehave' Jensen, Denmark
    Coding & hosting: Nico 'Ncoh' Hartmann, Germany
    Development and innovation: Andy 'ajp8164, USA

    althought it is amazing,
    i just did some little modifications on the Maya-skin,
    which made things better recognisable for me as a video-projector user.
    more contrast and better readability ...

    so i do the "Lord-Vader" job ...
    step by step i will modify Maya and bring "her" to the dark side ... ;)
    so maybe some of you would also have the skin a bit darker ...
    (i love it dark :) )...

    =========================================
    HOW 2:

    install normal Maya

    EDIT & NEW:

    after installing Maya
    - make all settings in "MePo Config -> Plugins -> Maya Settings"
    you wisch to have. (Fanart on/off, MP-TV-Series - etc.)
    Save it !!!
    and look if all is set like YOU want to have it !!!!
    (Test it by using MePo)


    next step:

    than create a new folder in:

    C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Dark-Maya

    name it Dark-Maya
    copy the content of the normal Maya-Folder in the Dark-Maya-Folder

    than - just take the RAR file ...
    extract it - and copy it to the Dark-Maya folder


    if you don't make the "SETTING" step first -
    DARK-Maya will react like "fresh and new" installed maya
    couse the later done Maya-Settings will NOT
    save to DARK-Maya only to normal Maya skin folder.

    also if you CHANGE settings in Maya - you have to Re-Install/Copy Maya into Dark-Maya
    and copy again the Dark-Mod

    maybe Joostzilla will have a good day and make a MPE1 for Dark Maya ;) one day in the future




    =========================================

    as a result of it - maya will look like the screenshots below .

    if update - don't forget to emtpy the skin cache -
    without that - you wont have the changes visible.

    regards & have fun

    =========================================

    EDIT:

    two versions - download rate will show which is more WANTED

    Blue or Black Shadows available :D

    ... thx for the more than 400 downloads till now ...

    =========================================


    and if you like this MOD - feel free to push the :D - button

    Will the blue shadows become dark grey or will you leave them blue? Apart from that very nice looking :)

    hi, thanks for the tvguidemini.xml - very useful. The three background png's can be replaced with whatever image you like. Using your xml has made it better thanks

    GIMP offers you nearly the same features like Photoshop, but the UI is the dumbest i've ever seen.
