LogoManager 1.0.0.3 [27-11-2022] (8 Viewers)

pls test glow function with attached logomamager dll
For glow effect to be active just put file "design.settings" with content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
	<effects>
		<effect enabled="yes" type="glow" radius="10" color="White" />
	</effects>
</settings>

into folder with design that you want glow for. All designs are stored locally in d:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\LogoManager\designs\
In this XML you can also adjust glow width(radius) and color (as .NET color name)

awaiting tests from @azzuro and @vuego as they are the ones requesting this feature

and just as an idea: is it worth to define 2 colors for glow - for dark logos and for light logos, and in plugin apply dark or light color for glow after analyzing logo image for lightness? so dark color will be applied for logos with lightness e.g > 50%, and light color - for logos with lightness <=50%.
P.S. implemented in the form "add glow when brightness is above/below threshold". use e.g.

<effect enabled="yes" type="glow" radius="10" color="White" lightness_threshold="0.43" active_part="below" />

active part can be "above" or "below"
threshold has float value 0 to 1.

my contribution with setting above

 

[Vasilich]

i hope there is enough settings to customize?
Do we need something else concerning graphics itself?

i think, no
your plugin has already what we need.
know, i think the best is to have "one" design type with example as
all black logo as "Fashion Tv" should be reworked by the designer of logo Pack

i hope you understand me. your glow effect from logomanager can be used for have small effect on logo ( for me very nice )
but we need to have @Designers suggestion.

and for future, i would like to see logomanager support squarred and 4/3 logos format ..... ( and i have one idea about this, maybe bad )

Also we need to update our default designs taken from french pack since they are not straight 200x200

Check local background.png files in glass designs. All are 200x196. Vasilich've updated DarkGlass already. To receive updated design from online just delete local DarkGlass folder.

our plugin is able to generate logos with any aspect ratio. In attach there is an example of design 4/3. Just remember that design size defines resulting logo size, and NO resizing is done to keep original picture quality.
Only hardcoded 200*200 size is skin+ preview dialog.
