    Will there be a 16:9 support? I think this would make the skin very atractive to a lot of people (including me). ;-)

    Hi,

    there will be a 16:9 skin, but unfortunately not until end of october. :sorry:

    Regards

    Catavolt,

    Love the skin, and as a Trekkie it's a must have for me, but....

    There is one small show stopper (for me) at the moment, the TV Series plug-in skin is all over the place and does not work properly with all the TV Series gadgets (like fanart).

    Keep up the good work.

    Hi catavolt,

    first :D again for your efforts.

    Now the bugs ;) :
    - in TV fullscreen when you enter a channel number this appears on the left side but background is only on the right side (a "bug" taken from PMIII...)
    - in TV + VideoOSD and BasicHome the order of buttonchange (onleft/right/up/down) was still the same like in PMIII though the design doesn't fit it - I changed xml-files to fix this - see attachment

    Will report if I find more (hopefully not)...

    And in the end a request:
    Could you please also make/adapt the xml-file(s) for FileExplorer-Plugin?

    catavolt,

    i have some small modification made for the home page.
    The menu is a little nice so, i think.

    When you come to the IRC maby we can tolk a bit about new steps,
    and the wide screen version.

    Hello NielsSF and Hawkeye,

    A big :D for your contribution to make LCARS better.

    I will integrate your files immediately, possibly next week I will release version 1.1 with all the bugfixes mentioned in this forum as well as integrating the desired plugins.

    Regards and happy Trekking!

    New font?!

    Hi,

    first: :D for this great Skin. I found an old version of MP in the download folder when I reorganized my PC last week, must have found that in the www some times ago but never tested it. Finally, last weekend I tested the MP in the newer Version and I'm very proud of you all :D Well done, much better than WMC!

    I found your skin some days ago and was fascinated of the great work you've done. Believe me, I'm very happy with this version of the LCARS-Skin, but perhaps you can use the font I found on http://www.gtjlcars.de/index01.htm. It's in the download section and yet earlier in this Forum someone placed a hint to that page, perhaps it may help you. But you're the Pro and so I will never criticise you ;)

    I wait for your new skin!

    Hi LudwigXIV, thanks for your comments.

    I tested the above mentioned font (LCARS GTJ2) when I started to build this skin. Its nice with font sizes greater than 14 pt, but in the different screens it is so damn narrow that you can hardly read the contents of the screen.

    So I gave up with this and chosed the attached font which is very near the LCARS original one but with better readability.

    Regards
