Shadow patch

I've made a replacement for menu list in left side. I've added a little drop shadow to this panel, and i think that now it looks nicer. To use it, just overwrite all files with modified versions in my archive and remember also, to delete the cache folder. I hope that you like it, tell me your oppinions...

regards,

Let me just start off with saying this skin is beautiful! It's classy and sober, yet still with a modern look. Now, I hope I can help out by pointing out a few issues I've run into. Sorry if you've been over this before, I've looked through the last few pages of the thread without finding anything on this. And by the way, this is v0.6 Alfa on the final 0.2.3.0 release of MP.

• MyTV fullscreen
  When viewing fullscreen TV an empty progress bar is constantly shown at the top of the screen.
• MyTV miniguide
  As pointed out earlier in the thread, the right hand side of the miniguide is outside the screen. Also, I cannot navigate inside the miniguide to change the channels.
• MyMusic Playing
  On the bottom half of the playing screen LastFM suggests tracks similar to the currently playing one. On the left it suggests three tracks from the same album, on the right it suggests three tracks tagged with the same tags. To navigate from the left part to the right, I have to press left. I should press right to go right, right?

My last thing is a wish for a future improvement: Coulde we get more channels in the tv guide screen? I think it would be natural to use the same line height as the standard list view.

Other than that: a big Thank You!

I'm still reworking Monochrome using 0.2.3.0 B2 wide skin files . And yes I am looking forward to the release of MP2 - I'm gonna check out the skinning stuff soon.

I have made a bunch of modifications to the skin to make it display correctly under 1280x768 (15:9) because for some reason I can't get my ATI card to display 1280x720 or 1366x768 on my LCD TV. The changes are mostly in the TV section (main TV menu, EPG, TVOSD, miniEPG etc) but also in other menus as well. I also made the message windows and the miniEPG semi-transparent and a few other minor graphics mods. If anyone is interested I can put up a few screenshots of the relevant modifications later on when I get home from work and post the modified files. Of course there may be areas that have slipped and don't display correctly because I don't use all of the plugins (e.g. myTVseries, myEmulators etc.) so I haven't tested them

Psycho Reptile, thanks for a really well designed skin.

I have been trying to get Netflix Manager to work. The Watch Now menus doesn't even appear in the xml included with Monochrome 0.6. Even with the adapted xml files from the Netflix Manager thread, it is still looking weird and the menus are overlapping.

It'd be great if you could include a new xml file for latest Netflix Manager in your new version.

Tx again.
