[QUOTE="joz, post: 335417, member: 70244"] Thanks that's what I ment and did the trick. You know I'm really not that familiar with the MP skin engine so this sort of thing is really new to me. Everything I know is just stuff I picked up in the forums, common sense and my background as a mobile/web developer... I'll update the program skins asap. One more thing. I just upgraded to RC4 and now I get 2 issues I didn't have before; - The home menu shows "missing or invalid myHome.xml" even though the menu and everything else is perfectly fine. I'll try with default file and report back. - When I go to extra menu and back the menu is out of focus (it seems to behave like that with every other window too) Edit: Just tested with default myhome.xml and still the same error message... edit2: Just checked the logs. Found errors. The first two I expect to be caused by the newest MyEmulators release. The last one is caused by MyWorldMap. This one I already have since ages in my error.log (also reported about this in the proper thread, no solution for now). I'll try disabling. First (RC3 + latest SVN) this showed up as a different log enty though and didn't give such noticable errors in MP Edit3: The MyWorldmap version I use (RC2 I believe) crashes MP config... I renamed the dll and now the error message is gone so I'm glad to report it's not your skinning ;) [B]The Menu Focus problem still remains though[/B] (I already did download the newest process plugin, tried the old one = same result) Edit 4: Well now I'm at it anyways: I noticed when I was browsing my music collection that the filmstrip view seems not right to me. The first obvious thing I noticed is that I totally have to rely on the images cause there's nothing shown about the selected item (artist + album would be nice!). Besides that there's so much space unused... Maybe I'll hack something together myself :) Edit5: I could go on a while talking bout this great skin :) I was thinking maybe creating a horizontally based TVSeries view(instead of vertical I have done on page 18). This way only 3 or 4 series banners will fit on the screen at each particular moment but will allow a lot of room for fanart! For people not having that much series it could make sense (which I'm part of I guess) It would be awesome if I somehow could show half a banner with some gradient over it (because there's probably room for 3,5 banner or something, don't know yet just wild guess). But I guess the MP skin engine will not allow me to do so. This idea could also really improve the vertical skin I made for tvseries. Something similair to the effect the home menu has with a really focused item in the middle and maybe less focused further away? gradient overlay may do the trick? But as sad, I'm not really into skinning just know some basics. I know MP skin engine is kinda lineair so I don't know if it will allow a overlay on top of a listcontrol. Time for some experimenting (or pilehave giving me good tips :)) [/QUOTE]
