TVSeries Logos and new look for tvseries plugin

Okay got it working now, XML doesn't look very tidy but at least it works. :p

You can download my modified TVSeries Logos here: CLICK

Previews (mockups):
Series View
Episode View

Previews (In Action):
Series View
Episode View
Season View (files on removable drive)
(Well nothing I can do about episode info being displayed here unless someone makes another dummy label for me to use, I'd love to display series info in the right box instead and season covers side by side)

Wow the small font looks really bad on my computer display, if you got a small display maybe you'd want to have the font bold. You can try the mono bold zip file.
Anyway it looks really good on my 90" screen though. :)

Font in zip file will need to be installed first. Then just put everything in the 'Skin Files' folder into your monochrome folder.
You need at least Revision 250 of the tvseries plugin svn. Get it here.


Well, try it if you want.
I'd recommend to backup the TVSeries.xml and fonts.xml files.
All my graphics are in a folder called tvseries so it's easy to remove.

btw you probably shouldn't use fan art, I think it'll work but I'm not sure how it would look. :p

If you want it to look like my in action shots you can change some values in the configuration.
Here's a screenshot of mine: CLICK

Changes:
0.1.2 - Fixed some positions, episode file size and runtime work now. Thanks Inker.
0.1.1 - Fix for 1366x768 display
0.1 -

Patricon: Probably the same as the ones I had to change with the original monochrome TVseries.xml. Im going to dl this now and ill see what i have to change in order for it to work.

and thx spuck, ill check it out nooooooow =)

edit:

This is what you have to edit to get it to work in a 1366x768 screen:
in tvseries.xml:
<!-- space between boxes -->
<itemWidthBig>424</itemWidthBig>

Are you sure about that Darre? Should work without changing the bannerboxes..
Try this one and tell me if it works and I'll include it in the zip. Thanks. :)

why change the font only in TV series plugin? i think that it's better to change all fonts in this skin or keep the same font in TV series plugin that in the rest of screens. I'm not sure about font used, i'll wait to decide if the new font is better than verdana.

IMO the verdana font is really bold and ugly. :D

Anyway here's a font.xml which will change all fonts to GeosansLight. Looks actually really good. :)

Sorry for my bad english, that is what i wanted to mean... i prefer to change all fonts better that changing it only in TV series screens... i'll try your font a couple of days to see if it suits to my taste...
