Monochrome 16:10 (1 Viewer)

[joz]

Hey all monochrome users,

I've just setup my desktop with Monochrome. When doing this I saw lots of minor issues with overlapping text etc. that's because monochrome is not made for my screen resolution (which is 1680x1050, 16:10) so I dug into each problematic XML and cleaned it up (for my screen that is).

MP 1.0:
16:10 Monochrome 0.0.2
16:10 Indigo 0.0.2

MP 1.0.1:
16:10 Indigo 0.0.4β
16:10 Monochrome 0.0.4β

MP 1.0.2
Also requires latest tvseries (2.3)
16:10 Indigo 0.0.5
16:10 Monochrome 0.0.5

(also works on MP 1.1 beta1)
16:10 Indigo 0.0.6
16:10 Monochrome 0.0.6


All credit goes to Psycho Reptile ofcourse, I just want to help out users in a similair position as me.

I used mediaportal on my 22" screen. I say used because my laptop that I used is having issues, I think it's dead forever so the warranty people are having a look at it

Did you do the plugin files as well? I use mytvseries and moving pictures.

I did a lot of files yeah, to see an overview of what I use (even some more than what's in there actually) see;
Sidebar - amped - Plugin Support - Google Code

It's the aMPed supported pluginlist but almost all plugins in there supported by aMPed I got installed and working with monochrome.

TVSeries and moving pictures actually only had really, really minor issues on my system. I did enhance both a bit with videowindows though and some minor overlapping stuff.

If you do not want me to continue down this path please feel free to contact me, either here or via PM.

I've got no problems with that

please share with us. I'm using 16:10 too

Uploaded my 16:10 monochrome version to mediafire, see first post. Indigo will follow soon.
remember this is made for my specific system;
- 16:10 screen ratio
- 1680x1050 resolution
- Basichome / basicmenus (like watchmenu etc) are based upon my system
- Based upon Monochrome 2.6 although compatible with MP 1.0 final (which I use)
- Other specifics I forgot most likely

However when you feel like you have come across something that affects this kinda systems you can always point it out in this thread. If I will pick up on it depends if I can recreate it and it's something I agree with. Skinning for aMPed already is a handful, so please be understanding and patient.

- SysInfo / MySpeedfan and Fanatic monitor all have buttons to switch between the 3
- Youtube.FM 0.3.7 support (I truly love this awesome plugin, looks great!)
