MePo-Green for 0_2_1_0 (1 Viewer)

okay,

i am still using 0.2.0.4, that's the last stable release with the stable update. Is that what the problem is?

Try updating to 0.2.1.0 (which is the latest feature release) - the title of this thread is "MePo Green for 0.2.1.0"

Yep. Get 0.2.1.0 for all the good stuff.

Glenn is the "last edited" info on the first post reliable for us to check if we have the last version?

Else please give us some other way to check the "version".
For example now with the SVN versions added we don't know if you touched the 0.2.1 stable versions.

Brilliant skin.

Do you plan to animate on the normal homepage screen? I dont use the basic homepage screen and so dont have anything animated at present. Would love to see the animations on the other hompage.

Unless, is there a way in media portal to determine what gets included on the basic homepage? Ie I dont want TV, but want tetris and other links on there??

Many thanks,
Colin

In simple terms, no. Check page 8 of this thread. I don't think you can modify the basic screen (which may be why it;s the basic one

Right. I will time-stamp them somehow. There are so many, I cant keep making new versions or I'd run out of space on my website . The 0.2.1.0 skins have not been touched for a while but I will update the page with date information for you soon.

Here are some instructions that Boilermaker gave me that work fine:-

Look for this code in the mytvguide.xml file, and play with the values marked below...I just used trial and error to get a nice fit.

<control> 
<description>Channel template</description> 
<type>image</type> 
<id>20</id> 
<posX>60</posX> 
<posY>125</posY> 
<width>136</width> 
<height>36</height> <-----[change this to like 40 to start, and see what happens, keep raising it til you get a good fit] 
</control> 
<control> 
<description>Channel image template</description> 
<type>image</type> 
<id>7</id> 
<posX>1</posX> 
<posY>1</posY> 
<width>32</width> <---[change this to fit better] 
<height>32</height> <---[change this to fit better] 
<keepaspectratio>yes</keepaspectratio> 
<centered>yes</centered> 
<zoom>no</zoom> 
<texture>defaultVideoBig.png</texture> 
</control>

At some point you will make the height in the channel template just high enough that only (say) 5 will display, then take it back one...if you end up with an unbearably large and ugly gap to your bottom scroll bar, here is where to change it:

<control> 
<description>Horizontal scrollbar</description> 
<type>hscrollbar</type> 
<id>28</id> 
<posX>196</posX> 
<posY>481</posY> <--[change the y position til looks good, remember how much you moved it up] 
<width>1002</width> 
<height>20</height> 
<visible>yes</visible> 
</control> 
you need to remember how much it moved, because you need to reduce the size of the scrollbar on the right by the same amount 
<control> 
<description>Vertical scrollbar</description> 
<type>vscrollbar</type> 
<id>29</id> 
<posX>1200</posX> 
<posY>125</posY> 
<width>20</width> 
<height>357</height> <---[reduce the height to match above] 
<visible>yes</visible> 
</control>

HTH...

Hey Glenn, I just wanted to say excellant job on this skin/mod.
I just tried it out using the latest SVN and it works and looks great.
This really looks professional and the amount of time and hard work you put into this really shows. I think you should make an animation of MePo beating the crap out of the TiVo guy.

Keep up the great work.
