Like it, thx! But the music covers in filmstrip view could be muuuch larger I think

I just started seriously playing with this awesome skin! I have some feedback for ya:

- I used your myHome.xml editor. Seems to work pretty good but I noticed that when I had 7 items in MyHome the selected button will not be the middle one but the one above that. Fixed t by having 6 items
- I have My Films installed (latest) and tried it out in MediaStream. MP Crashes when entering My Films in MediaStream (it doesn't in blue3 and aeon). I see the list getting populated but after that it crashes, see log attached

Finally I have edited some of your work. I made the black gradient menu background to have some transparency. I like all things transparant And this way my fanart looks a little better. Also did some work on the menu's (extra, music, watch). See screens attached

Problem in menu-generator is now fixed. Should take anything from 4 items up to 14...after that you're lost

I see an entry in my own error.log regarding the MediaStream plugin (same error as yours), but My Films works fine here...I'll fix the plugin but I really don't think that is enough. Perhaps I'm using an outdated My filsm plugin, and the new one creates a bug? Which version are you using?

Nice work on the menus! I really don't use them myself so haven't paid much attention to them - In the newest version of the skin I put in the Monochrome buttons instead of the Indigo ones, so should be more alike

For those of you wanting support for "4TheRecord":

I would really like to support 4TheRecord, but I cannot seem to get it to work at home, 4TR doesn't show any channels in EPG I'll give it one more try this weekend...

I saw that. I already installed your newest version and actually liked the indigo ones better with MediaStream.

The version of MyFilms that I'm using is 4.7.9a

OK, seems I was using a pretty old version to test with

Fixed version of MyFilms attached, you'll need all three files:

View attachment MesFilms_Visible.xml
View attachment MesFilmsDetail.xml

Hey Pilehave hope you don't mind but I started doing some skinning for plugins you were missing. Nothing fancy, just making them work with the skin. If you want to make 'em your own some way or the other, be my guest and go ahead.
I'll probably tweak 'em a bit more myself too. For example I use a different menu then the rest of the skin. Have to dig into that.

I still have one more question though. I tried changing fontsizes on various controls but it doesn't work with MediaStream. Probably me doing something wrong. I just changed some font tags of controls but they seem ignored

edit:
the new My Films skin files work like a charm

Edit2:
Redid most of the files to be more like the rest of the skin. Only unchanged file is the one for speedfan

Edit3:
The speedfan skin is completely based on the system I'm monitoring (my server, MP on client is monitoring).
This means first of all you don't have my cartoony looking cpu and second you could experience lay-out problems when not used in combination with my exact MySpeedfan config
If you need help feel free to ask!
For all programs I made custom backgrounds too. I have uploaded them here
http://www.mediafire.com/fanart (programs.zip)
If you don't have them you'lll probably see a black background. Easily changable in xml though

Hi guys - I got a prob with the weather.

Any Ideas?

Nice work!

If you don't mind I would like to grab the files and put them in the skin, perhaps modified a bit with the inclusion of topbar and time on the screens

If you want the fonsize changed you should do like this:

<control>
<bla bla bla>
<font>mediastream10c</font>
</control>

For a list of available fonts, take a look at fonts.xml in the skin.

Thanks. I really only did skinning for aeon wide before and with that skin you just set "font14" or something.

You can go ahead and do whatever you please with the files as long as it contributes to MediaStream
