    Ahh, I see what you mean. All my tests were done on series' with only one season - so selecting a series went straight to an episode list. I'll have a look into it from my side ;).

    Hi Psycho Reptile.

    Would you be able to upload the old mytvseries files, as i prefer the older setup without the extra info box. If i could straight swap those in, that'd be great. Then i can keep the skin updated, but have the old look tvseries :)

    Much appreciated if you could. It looks too busy on my 26" screen unfortunately.

    HI, the skin looks great but I have some problems with weird "artifacs" not like the ones made from overheating gfx card, but more like "dots" found several places e.g in the guide and it doesn't look it it's like this on purpose.

    take a look at the attached screen shot, (bad jpeg compression but you can still see my issues)

    Looks like you haven't installed the font that the skin uses. I used a different font for a while and that caused similar issues. Or are you using the alternative fonts.xml file? If so, try using the default fonts.xml (and installing the needed font) and remove the Monochrome folder from the Mediaportal\cache folder.

    I could be wrong though.

    Nope, the problem with that xml was it had mouse navigation issues.
    What I will do though is rework the existing xml to look like it used to ;). I'll supply both xmls and gfx so peeps can choose which one they want to use :).
    Give me some time tho - I'm really sick atm.

    @ NickSE, try what emphatic suggested. I don't have any answeres for you here I'm afraid. I've got Monochrome running on 3 different pc's with different hardware configs and have never seen that prob :(.

    Brillaint !

    Though i never had any problems previously. The other thing that bugs me with the new design is (as has been mentioned) most of the data isnt available for the shows i have :(

    Great idea bundling the two xmls though :D

    I see these same artifacts if I run MediaPortal in windowed mode on my laptop. Laptop has 1900x1200 res but graphic card is pressed a little too hard to run all videos in Full Screen. So when I am travelling and watching something on the laptop, I have MP in windowed mode with these artifacts.

    Can you try to have MP in full-screen ?

    I like this skin.
    good work
    but the rest of the familiy will not understand why the menu on the left side sometimes is not visible. What about making an option to change that?

    Afraid not, due to the way some screens operate in MP I can't always hide the menu. Personally I like the way Monochrome works now = max screen use.

    I like the skin very much, but i get an error displayed in plain text at my homescreen. It says "Missing or invalid file:c:\Programfiler\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal\Skin\Monochrome\myHome.xml. Any ideas of why i get this? I have tried to delete the cache several times, and also downloaded the rar file again and installed it,
