Monochrome (for those who like dark skins), updated... (2 Viewers)

[rtv]

rtv, what "yes" (screenie?) button are you talking about?

Sorry - just remotely tested with 4:3 but it should give you the idea:

EDIT: I have a strong guess that the less bright color only results from the fading. Therefore the low resolution is the true cause for that. However - as it is almost working nicely on PAL TVs you might consider increasing the dialog's button width just a very little bit so the text fits again?

OK, I see what you mean - I'll check it out.

What about one of these for the focused buttons/icons etc? Bear in mind the general "theme" of the skin...

Hi,

Thanks for this amazing skin. It is really geat

I have noticed one strange thing in this release. It is "No Episode Image Found" grey box in TV episode and in My Videos views. In TV Series main screen you can see it under description, and when you go into the series, you can see it on the middle top when you select seasons.

In my videos it is under description too. See attached screenshots.

Screen1 - Not sure what's happening there because mine doesn't look like that (see screenshot).
Screen2 - That is by design, there is no season screenshot to be displayed. The epidode thumb would normally go there.
Screen3 - Replace "tvseries_episode_background.png" with "tvseries_info_background_small.png" in myvideoTitle.xml. I'll fix this in the next release, thanks.

Psycho Reptile: Thanks a lot for the update! For next version, could you create a "Windows" directory inside the "Plugins" directory in your .rar-file. This way, if people just wants to drag and drop the Monochrome and Plugins directories into MediaPortal in one swift move without having to browse the Plugins folder first. I see it mentioned in your readme where the plugins goes, but this way there *can't* be any more confusion (keeps fingers crossed).

Great work as usual.

That would be much better, if MP wouldn't crash on the Cover View in the Movie-Section!

If you're talking about the IMDB screen, there was a bug that Zeflash found that is fixed in v1.2, if not more details would be helpful

My last.fm screen is a bit messed up when playing, the artist, genre info is malplaced.

I'll have a look at it, I haven't used Last.fm in a long time

Hello PsychoReptile,


As I told, the skin is greatfull, but if I turn on the Cover View for the Movies with the imdb/ofdb Information (In my case it's ofdb) MP crashes. I have to try it with the default MP-Skin, but I think it's a "Monochrome"-Bug.


Thank you...

Yes, I have noticed it in earlear releases too. But it would be nice (if possible) to have it that way:

Ok, I found the problem (I think), if you are not using "Fan Art" or the "Series Info Panel" view. Do not copy the TVSeries.xml from the No Series Info Panel folder into your Monochrome folder. The TVSeries.xml included in the Monochrome folder is the default one, the one in the No Series Info Panel folder is causing the problem :sorry:

@ zombiee77, could you explain the steps I need to take to reproduce this?

@ jiggier, I'll see if I can figure something out, but it may not be possible...

I'd say go for the white one... keeping the simple and clean design intact.
