Monochrome (for those who like dark skins), updated... (1 Viewer)

Is there possible to have own backgrounds in for example "gamemenu.xml" ?
I'm having a few games in the gaming menu and it would have been nice that when choosing Guitar Hero, it will show a nice Guitar Hero background...

Is it possible to change:
<controls>
<import>common.time.xml</import>
<control>
<description>BG</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1</id>
<width>1366</width>
<height>768</height>
<texture>background.png</texture>
</control>

I guess the background.png is whats showing in the background? So is it possible to change this to something else choosing different backgrounds?

thanks for the update. i was looking forward to the poster view for mptvseries but for some reason i can't find a way to enable it. shoudn't there be an xml file in the mptvseries folder of the skin to support poster view?
i also find the changes to the fanart downloading very nice but it would be great to add an option for mass downloading all fanart for the series once you are in the fanart page.

There's an option in the config for the plugin for downloading posters instead of banners, I'm guessing that's the one you're looking for.

yes thats for downloading posters instead of banners but we will need a new xml to account for the changes in the layout of using posters and the filmstrip effect.

Hi PR, first of all thanks a lot for updating this best of all skins - tried several skins, I love many, but I always return to monochrome ;-)

Second I have some remarks and "wishes" to the updated MyFilms Support:
1. In former skins, you displayed the "number of objects" in the upper left corner - e.g. when grouping for years, showing numer of years in the DB etc. - can you readd this ?
2. When in Listview, in the right lower corner, you display labels for year, category and actors - there is no info shown about the year (typo in XML?) - In Detail View, the year is displayed, so it is available
3. When entering a group, the "Selection" (e.g. "2007") is not properly positioned - it's at the top, left to title , but gets overwritten with longer titles.
4. I know it's a question of taste: But I would appreciate, if the name of the movie could be repeated on top of the description text (you had this in older skinversions like this) - and maybe adding the rating in the lower left corner . so all movie information is available in the bottom of the page (easier to use)
I have attached you the "former" XMLs, if you need them.

Thanks for your work,
Guzzi

yes i was talking about right click option as with the current one to view and download fanart for each series but instead having the option to download all fanart for a series.
Something like right click "all fanart for this series".

As stated before, this is not anything the skin does, it is the MP-TV Series plugin that does all the magic. A skin is just a pack of XML-files, graphics and a few soundfiles. I suggest you ask in the MP-TV Series thread

Is a blank hover image without a symbol in it available (hover_blank.png) ?
