Hi - i will have a look at your skin - but I´m using a MP-Version without mpi.
Is there a chance to upload this skin as a .rar - file or zip?

This skin is for MP 0.2.3 and this version, as far as i know, comes with MediaPortal Installer... take a look in your program group shortcuts or into the folder where you have MP installed. You can install it from MP Configurator, just go to Plugins section and then MPInstaller tab...

regards ;)

    first things i have notice...

    1) when you are in music finding coverart, the progress bar is not in place, its just under the place ment to be.

    2) when in music, at the bottom left you have the music logo. the song title, overlays this icon, just move the text a little bit more to the right

    3)it would be nice if when u are playing music you have some information in main screen so that you know what u are playing.

    ill have a look again at the skin later.

    ive also notice that in tvseries, if you have fan art everything looks out of place. if you dont have fan art the location of everything looks great congrat.

    for the now playing problem i've just found the problem, it's the MPI installer that is not recreating the folder structure, i'll try to solve it in next release, but for the moment you can solve it making a new folder named 'Play' under Animations folder (located into the skin folder) and then move all files EQ*.png into that folder... the info for the currently playing song in main screen is also related with this problem. moving the files into the right place the problem is solved...

    for the progress bar when searching the cover art it does not move here, so i can't check about the position, i'll try to solve it...

    regards,

    I'm testing this skin now and there are two things i dont like:

    First, the animation of the top (bottom) bar that goes all over the screen, instead of fading DOWN. Note that i have set the topbar to disappear after 3s, because i dont like it to stay on all the time. Then reappears no matter where i move the mouse (it should only if i move it in the bottom area).

    Second, the MediaPortal logo looks really bad.

    Then, the usual scrollbar buttons are inverted. up should be in the left place and down at the right.


    PS: I'm posting here but it's more of a general question: when somebody will make a native 1920x1080 skin?

    yes, i'll repair the tvseries screen in next release (i don't use the fan art, that's why i didn't noticed that issue)

    About the MP logo, i have supposed reading your post that you are using 1920x1080 resolution, i can't try the skin using that res but i think that it's a problem with upscaling method in MP. using 1366x768 (read first post and you'll find that this skin is optimized for that res) it looks really nice and sharp. However, i'll try to post here an alternative background for using it with 1920x1080 res. can you post here an screenshot of how it looks using your res to have an idea about it?

    And about the bottom bar, if you read my previous post here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showpost.php?p=212251&postcount=30 you'll find that it's one of the main problems that i've encountered in this first beta version but i want to solve it in future releases... The top bar appearing when you move the mouse is not related to my skin, it's a problem in MP UI itself, if you use another skin (like the official skin, BlueTwo), you'll get the same results...

    greets, and many thanks for your comments, i'll solve all the bug that you are posting here...
