[QUOTE="Mucx, post: 199242, member: 53459"] Here is a quick example of just how close the two layouts are.... [IMG]http://centerstageproject.com/uploads/graphics/other/cs_v_mp_fanart.jpg[/IMG] So I think between the two projects we could both tweak our layouts and get a usuable Fan Art concept that we can both utilize. It is like we are 90% there as the layout is very similar (which is why I stated *borowed...which is a nice way of saying, someone saw a nice idea and used it for their own purposes...which I'm not bitter about, as long as we can all benefit). Anyway, looking at how the MediaPortal Fan Art concept is applied, it seems like just a background image is used to create the effect and the rest is internally driven? The CenterStage version was going to be slightly different in that I imagined that the buttons/bars etc could be changed to match the overall design of the page and compliment it. You can see from the Collateral CenterStage Fan Art example, there are deep moody purple button highlights which match the feel and the rest of the design. This isn't a requirement but, just an aesthetic touch that a 'Fan Art Artist' could do for each Fan Art they create...and one we may not be able to do cross platform? Unless maybe, we could each use some sort of CSS or XML file that can control buttons or font colour and other such things? (Im not a developer just a graphics guy). The only other stumbling block to a cross platform version is the CenterStage UI (the concept anyway), you will see at the top of the screenshot we have the 'menu bar' that tells the user which section they are in, and also has a breadcrumb navigation running across the screen (this is the black/grey 'stuff' just above the collateral text in the image above). I suppose the background image on the CenterStage side could just align the background image differently to how MediaPortal aligns it. (e.g. through MediaPortal the background image has a x,y co-ordinate of 0, 0 --- CenterStage would align the picture to 0, 140) So you can see we are close, there is a solution here and I would love it if we could both find an answer so Fan Art can be a cross-platform event! It just needs careful consideration and 'rules' setup I think... [/QUOTE]
