Monochrome (for those who like dark skins), updated... (4 Viewers)

[Stor-Anders]

I love this skin and I've been using it since the very first release. Very nice to see a great skin that is continously developed!

I made a little research, but unfortunately "I still haven't found what I'm looking for", or at least not all plug ins I'm looking for. Would it be possible to post links to the latest supported versions along with the other update info?

Again, THANKS for a great skin.

GetaGrip great pics there mate maybe you should release a mod with monochrome with color images

great skin none the less!!

Thanks for the compliment, let's see how far i can push this thing with this brain of mine
Because I really walking the first steps in xml and skinning, so for the moment it's more a trail and error thing.
The goal is to get a mod for touchscreen only and some (not to much) color for who thinks dark is too dark. and blue is to blue, etc

Maybe in the future there will be a release, but only with the accomplice of Psycho Reptile - and let's calling the skin Polychrome Touchable

I'm now testing and finalizing myradiolastFM.xml, here some previews:

Have a look at the first post, I've added links to all the supported plugins. I've been meaning to do that for a long time .

Haven't updated this since one of the earlier versions of Monochrome - it's progressing very nicely. Just some issues I've found:

My Films layout seems messed up - in Icons and Big Icons layout, it still has the description box on the right, except no description populates. I'd assume that the intent should be to not have the description box. I think it defeats the purpose of the big icon / icon layouts - you can't see enough movies.

Also, the Big Icon List layout in Music doesn't show the preview thumbnail on the left.

Screens are attached.

How did you manage to undo the button focus zoom in the menu list? I am customizing the BTW skin but till now I did get it to work!



Problem solved!

Hi,


Really ike this skin but I have a problem with the fonts. I have a little dot above and under the last letter of each word and when the text is scrolling horizontally I see a lot of these dots. Does anyone know how can solve this?

Psycho Reptile : the skin cash clearing should work (not tested), but only whit latest svn. It is a option under Advanced properties tab.

Whose Page Ranking? I'll make an MPI for the next release if/when Dukus adds the function to clear the cache folder on XP/Vista, otherwise any modded gfx files aren't updated

Oops I typed "P R" it must have filled it in for me in Firefox or something.

Anyways thanks for all your work Psycho - cant wait for the MPI.

Can you please post the background, and the side menu background! I too think dark is too dark, would like some color but not too much. Thanks

I had this happen myself when I was running MP in windowed mode. Is this your case as well ?
The real issue in my case was that the font used for Monochrome never was installed correctly and thus it used a replacement font that showed this behavior. In case you are running Vista like me, you need to right-click on the font and choose Install. Just copying it to your fonts directory is not enough.

In case the above does not apply... I have no clue
