Monochrome (for those who like dark skins), updated... (2 Viewers)

[pilehave]

one bug:

your logorules; import only works when MP is installed in C:\program ....

One solution that I find very intuitive, is to place the logos in the skin-folder and then change the rules to something like

skin\Monochrome\Media\Logos\XXX.png

MediaPortal will then work no matter where it is installed. The downside to this is that plugins or the like may think that logo-files are placed elsewhere, but I found no problems in this in the plugins I use.

another issue:

I installed monochrome V2.4 and I use the refresh rate changer. Now my movies don't appear full screen anymore but just a part of it on the left of the screen. Also the taskbar is shown...

edit; its probably not a skin issue..

Blank infowindow. Sitting here using the LastFM plugin and have a picture slideshow running. The window that pops up with playing now info is blank. Don't know if this is skin related, just thought I should let you know

Will test later.

WK, out..

Have you copied the files RSS Ticker from the install folder to your mediaportal folder?

Have you created a folder named Fan Art in the MP thumbs directory (Appdata) and put your fanart files in that folder. Also, the filename should start with the series ID..

Not working. Need help!

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to Media Portal having used XMBC mostly until now. Can you please help me with getting this skin to work properly. I can't seem to get it look right. The picture previews aren't matching up and the fonts are running over each other. Please see picture.

Thanks for your help.

Hi PR, I have one question and may ask for a hint or help:
I would like to add a "bottomline" in the music View with info about "album artist" and "album name" - so it is easier to navigate through the Iconview. The info should be in the lower side and show info about the currently selected item.
Can you give me a hint about which file needs modification and what to do? I am not a skinner - maximum I could do is change a little the positioning of something if I find it ;-)
Thanks for your help,
Guzzi

Have you installed the font that comes with Monochrome?
Cover's - up may need to cycle covers (under IMDB details I think)
