I'm getting the incredibly annoying "outdated skin warning" when using 0.2.3.0 RC1 and the latest version of Foofaraw, any help on getting rid of it would be greatly appreciated.

And oh, thanks for a superb skin! :)

Why not run RC2? If you don't want to run latest release candidate, then why not run 0.2.2.0 stable release? Not that I have the answer but I would expect problems to arise when running an outdated release candidate.

Cheers :)

Trying to get MyFilms to work with this skin... I copied the MesFilms.xml from BlueTwoWide to foofaraw as was advised in this thread and that works for the most part... however I am having a pretty big bug as a result:

Whenever I am in Icon or Big Icon view and I am scrolling among the thumbnails of the movies, whenever I push right and go off the screen, the cursor moves to the pageup/pagedown controls (i believe this is the listcontrol item?). When one of those controls is highlighted, I cannot recover the cursor in any way, its just stuck on pageup/pagedown at the movie list, and the back button doesnt work. I have to connect a mouse to recover the program.

I've been trying to modify both the listcontrol item in my MesFilms.xml and also in references.xml, but neither seems to make any change to the skin. I would rather that the pageup/pagedown buttons not be selectable at all, I dont mind if they're visible I just dont want the cursor to move to them. Where can I find the code for this?? I've been going through nearly every xml I can find without any luck. I'd really appreciate the help!

Hi

Just wanted to express my gratitude for this skin. Dl and installed it today, and I think it'll stay on my MP for a long time.

Found a couple of minor issues, you are probably aware of them, or maybe its only a problem on my box.
In mytvguide.xml the current program title and current program time is overlapped, I moved the title 20 to the right.

<description>Current program title</description>
<type>fadelabel</type>
<id>13</id>
<posX>220</posX>

and I moved the description box a bit down and made a bit higher

<control>
<description>Description1</description>
<type>textboxscrollup</type>
<id>15</id>
<posX>50</posX>
<posY>580</posY>
<width>1300</width>
<height>120</height>

kind regards
Martin

Well gang I found a solution, as wierd as it was. Turns out I had to add the fascade for time.xml so that the movie thumbnail panel would function properly.

I also made a few other small changes to organize it a bit and make covers bigger. I also removed the star ratings since they were buggy and I don't use them personally.

If you have the same problem using MyFilms with Foofaraw feel free to use this xml.

hi

after my last post I began to wonder if you are interested in feedback on some of the minor-minor glitches and details - or do you find and work on those yourselves in the right time ie when you are done with the bigger picture?
I have located and "corrected" a couple of small glitches besides the ones in my last post, I just wondered if I should post my other changes?

Thank you again for this fantastic skin - its really easy on the eyes, and I really love the new way of displaying options in the dropdown menus.
By the way is the basic home screen supposed to rotate or is the icons supposed to be lit up when selected? Nothing happens on my box except for the title and dropdown menus are changed.

kind regards
Martin

Is there anyway to go to news and weather from the basic homescreen? When i start mediaportal I see these items flash up in the bottom, but they disapear immideatly.

And also, can I add items to the basic homescreen submenu's? I would love to see "uitzending gemist" in the tv submenu, "online videos" in the video submenu, and "music videos" in the music submenu. It would be awesome if someone could edit the xml file for me!
