This is a COOL skin. Bring it on guys. If I had the ability to help, I would. I'm just a pitiful user, sitting back in awe and amazement at how all this gets accomplished.

You all are GREAT!!!

By the way, what does "LCARS" mean??

    my son is asking about it weekly, just like me he's a bit of a trekkie.

    Interesting Project guys. I find this interesting because this ( http://www.07030.com ) is my site. I'm kinda new here, but I was thinking of creating an LCARS skin as soon as I saw the skin creator. If I could be of any help, please let me know. I'm a graphics dude, but I don't really know how to smash it all together for MP yet.

    By the way, the OFFICIAL FONT Micheal Okuda used (the creator of LCARS) is Helvetica Ultra Condensed. The LCARS.ttf is ok, but it's slightly flawed. The curved letters are slightly too large. It's good, but not the one used on Star Trek TNG/VOY. I had the pleasure of Interviewing Mr. Okuda at a NYC Convention and I asked him loads of questions about his graphic design work and how he was able to get the right look for LCARS every time with so many varying projects. There's a formula to the curves of the bars, depending on what application it's used for. And, the colors mean different things for different applications. Interesting stuff. If I could help, even as a tester, please let me know.

    Nice going so far. :wink:

    So? No news on this skin?

    The screenshots so far really look good. Don't abandon what could very well be the most popular MP skin ever!

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?

    After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...
