Great skin i love it but in the Tv-series plugin i cant get the 3x5 thumb setting to work

i only get 2x5 anyone who know what might be wrong? i have the latest tv-series plugin and MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC3 with a later svn!!!

I posted the fix for that a few post earlier.

Monochrome alpha version has recently replaced ReVision on my MediaPortal PC and my girlfriend and me really like the look of it!

Just some input after using it since the alpha is out:
I'm running it with 1360x768 on a 27" LCD and find the active element in home screen or symbol/list views a bit hard to recognize. It's a white border and we were used to see some 'overlay' effect on the active element and not just a border. Just like on this screenshot.

Don't really have a exact proposal to enhance this. Do other feel the same about this?

Do you also have the problem of program description going out of the screen to the right in mytv home screen? I also use this resolution and I have this problem.

Hope most of you missed my attempt at 'fixing Monochrome for 1366x768'

As I promised there, I would help solve some issues with Monochrome. As I am decided to use it, and to use it now, I quickly fixed some things that were broken or not 100% to my liking.

Attached you find a zip with some 'fixed files':

• common.progressbar.xml: fixes the progressbar in Videos - ready for next version
• mytvguide.xml: Not a fix but rather a mod: TVGuide with 11 rows, as that is just what I need. Uses smaller fonts. Not recommended to use *grins*
• mytvhomeserver: fixes the thing mentioned a few posts earlier, description of current show being half off screen - temp fix
• mytvrecordedtv: fixes again some overflow off the screen - temp fix
• mytvschedulerServer: same as above - temp fix
• TVSeries: fixed for 1366x768 as mentioned in a previous post

Personally I am not so fond of the dark box around covers in Filmstrip view. There is no box in the lineup and I experience it as a bit 'weird' that it suddenly appears. But this is probably mostly personal liking. Easy workaround: deleted music_filmstrip_frame and video_filmstrip_frame

You mean those dialogs in the attachment below? Those are cut off on the right for me as you can see on the time displayed.

The first is accessed with 'enter' while watching TV, the second is the TV Guide with TV in background (with 'F9->1').

Hopefully it has nothing to do with the resolution?

I am getting a blank screen and a "Label Missing" message when I go to My Films. I've installed the main MP files from MesFilms, but did not install the skin files, since these already exist in Monochrome.

What could be wrong?

 

[jburnette]

It could be that Monochrome's skin files for My Films are written for a different version of the plugin then the one you have installed. That's just a guess.

Would it be possible to remove the " /| " bits from the top of the dialog boxes ?
