Monochrome (for those who like dark skins), updated... (18 Viewers)

[smnnekho]

i really should have told you that earlier, but i didnt realize you'd release a new version that fast, since 0.9 you kinda confused that part:

<textXOff>10</textXOff>
      <textYOff>29</textYOff>
      <textXOff2>900</textXOff2>
      <textYOff2>25</textYOff2>
      <textXOff3>80</textXOff3>
      <textYOff3>5</textYOff3>

in your version of the miniguide it shows "whats on next" in row 1 and in big , and below in small what is airing now while it should be the other way around in fact

i attached a roughly fixed version below.

breathtaking skin!

hey, i just checked out your new version and dare to remind you of my post some pages ago (-;

i attached the file here again (-;

My bad, I forgot that one. smnnekho . Could you try this one?

 

[pinele]

... thank you... Please .... when?!?!?
... about???

@ All, I've just uploaded a new version of Monochrome - you can now use Fan Art with MP-TVSeries. PLEASE read the readme file for more info.

The only thing that **might** be improved: Use the single colour (dark red - for the "close" tab) for highlighting too, instead of bright white.

Nope :sorry: , feel free to have a go yourself though .

THANK YOUUuuu you are the best!!

I have said it once and I'll say it again: "This skin ROCKS!". Thanks a lot for all the hard work. I will try the new version tomorrow...

This skin absolutely rocks !!!

I haven't upgraded yet, but will do so tomorrow I think. And then I will also check if the small layout issue I noticed with MyFilms-but-always-forgot-to-report is still present or not. I spent the last week or so entering my complete DVD collection into Ant Movie Catalog. Not only to use it in the MyFilms plugin (curious to know if it can auto-launch DVD's ripped to video-ts structure... sorry.. thinking out loud) but also to put them all online. I have a brother living in Madrid that always asks me to *cough* borrow my DVD-backups-for-personal-use *cough*.

Since I said A, let's also say B... I exported my whole ANT Db using PK's MovieDB. The result of some other people can be viewed here, here and here.

Back On Topic... PsychoReptile, I love the thumbnails you used for channel, video-format etc. They are not the ones I found before in the TV-series threads. Did you make them ? Where can we see / find them ?

Well, 1.1 is a nice addition.. I hadn't upgraded since 0.9 and it brings some nice new stuff.

A few little problems (some of which have been there since 0.9). I've included screenshots.

1. I'm using the MyFilms plugin, normally in List mode (this is the default mode). It works fine, however, if I switch to any of the other mode (big icons, small icons, film strip), the movie's description "floats" on top of the covers. Check the pics for more info
2. Sometimes when i'm browsing the movies in MyFilms, the top right doesn't get refreshed properly and overlaps on itself. Essentially, you can almost make out that one of the movies I was viewing was 007: A View to a Kill and it just stayed there while I was browsing other movies. As I was browsing, the title was appearing in the upper right, but so was the old title, both were superimposed.
3. Finally, this is new for 1.1 (or possibly 1.0). In 0.9, there was something that was quite annoying that you fixed in the newer version. This being that in MP-TVSeries, the shows you've watched were a turqoise/teal colour, same if you didn't have the show available (file was not available). Now, you nicely put files that aren't available in red, but shows that you've watched are now in what appears to be a darkish grey colour. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to make out. You don't necessarily have to change it for me, but maybe just indicate which XML and where I need to set the new colour and I'll go do it myself.
4. The Series info sometimes shows the markup (#TVSeries.Episode.Filesize). Weird, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. (See screen cap)

again for this skin, keep up the great work.

EDIT:
in #3, when I say "difficult to make out" I mean the difference between the regular text and the watched text is too similar.

Thanks for the update!, best skin so far...

 

[Chucky]

Hey...nice update again!

But can you tell me what i must change to see more channels in the tvminiguide.xml??
It must only be one more than in the normal version to see the important channels in one sight...

Here ya go, these are just the png files for the 0.8 release originally from mirk, I made them to match Monochrome better .

A few little problems (some of which have been there since 0.9). I've included screenshots.

I'll download the latest version of MyFilms (4.3.5), I've been using 4.3.2 on my mini db and never saw those problems . Thanks for the screenshots.
I'll fix the colours in the MP-TVSeries list view - must have crept in when reworking the three different versions available now .
There's not much I can do about the (#TVSeries.Episode.Filesize) etc info working "sometimes" - must be plugin related as the skin file doesn't change "sometimes" .

But can you tell me what i must change to see more channels in the tvminiguide.xml??

You need to change the folowing:

<description>background image</description>
<id>0</id>
<height>500</height>

<description>list to show channels</description>
<id>35</id>
<height>500</height>
<spinPosY>575</spinPosY>

@ All,
