There's no new skin engine included in MP 1.0.
As already mentioned MP-2 will contain a new skin engine.

awesome skin

Set up MP a few days ago and looked at all the 4:3 skins. This one is the best~!

I am running MP on a large crt tv (80cm). Unfortunately, the resolution's not that great, so I cant read some of the fonts. How would I go about enlarging them? Could someone point me in the right direction?

Particularly the information in

my tv
my tv - channel

Many thanks to anyone who can help....

Hi !

Great skin ! I use this from the first release.
And what about a Monochrome release in accordance with MP 1.0. Which use the new skin engine ?

Regards,

HTK

New skin engine for 1.0? Are you sure you don't mean MediaPortal 2?

No ! Really. I mean MP1.0

You can see some few changes in the skin engine of MP1.0 with the skin Blue3.
Of course it's only "minor" changes but I think it should be great with the same kind of animations included in Monochrome.

Generally the font sizes are controlled by the fonts.xml (these are the available fonts). Change or add <font>xxx</font> for each control in references.xml or each individual screen xml. Bear in mind that although the references.xml defines global font sizes for all controls, these can be overidden on a screen by screen baasic in each xml.

I think it should be great with the same kind of animations included in Monochrome.

That won't be happening, the emphasis is on simplicity, stability and useability. Monochrome and Indigo run fast on lower spec system too

I'm so sad to learn this bad news ... lol

Anyway. Are you bothered by the fact that I rely on your work to manage a "3D" release of Monochrome myself?

Thanks by advance,

There's no new skin engine in MP 1.0. They only made rotatex, rotatey and rotatez work, but still only on facadeviews, so there's not that much you can do with it for now, except that stupid rotate already shown in Blue3. Useless unless you can get it to work on any element, which you can't at the moment.

You're right. It's not really a new engine. But now, rotate function works and I think it looks nice.
It's not an obligation for alls to think the same thing like me but it seems to me that to say "stupid rotate" is uncomfortable with the guys who have worked on this new code.

'Hi guys, ive got the same problem as Martijn189 has. I am using RC3 with the latest SVN and when i try and use the monochrome skin MP says its Outdated

I am unsure of what im doing wrong. Also i love this skin so much when it works so isnt there an auto installer for version 2.2?

THanks in advance!
