[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1246373, member: 141969"] I am not the author of Amped -- others deserve the credit for the considerable amount of work that went into the creation of Amped. I am (intermittently) creating my own skin based on the classic "DefaultWide". I occasionally try various other skins to see how they do things, during which I noticed some bugs with Amped. The bugs were easy to diagnose, so I have provided some fixes. But as a result I was unexpectedly made the "owner" of Amped. :eek: I am not actively supporting Amped, but if users notice errors I will try to fix them if they are not too obscure. However, I am not at this point planning to offer any enhancements. :( Most other skins do have small icons in lists of files -- a folder icon for folders, and either a thumbnail image taken from the video file (if thumbnails are enabled), or a standard "media" icon if not. The difficulty is in re-arranging the panel layouts to find space for small icons. Not impossible, but Amped is one of the few skins that offers the user the choice of font sizes, so the panel layouts are (I suspect) already quite complex. You might like to look at a current skin such as "DefaultWideHD" which does have small icons in lists, and then examine the xml to see if you can identify what needs to be added or changed. For the "Videos" panel in MP, the xml file is "MyVideo.xml". This is likely to be easier to achieve, as many Amped colours are defined in the file "Amped.Colors.xml" (although it is possible that some colours are hard-coded in the xml files). The MP Wiki has a major section dealing with creating and modifying skins, but it is variable in quality. Nevertheless, it is the only documentation available on coding a skin: [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Skin+MediaPortal"]Skin MediaPortal[/URL] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
