Moving Pictures 0.7 Skining Changes (1 Viewer)

[fforde]

Just a quick FYI. Moving Pictures 0.7 will be released probably within a week. There have been a few changes made to what is available to you skinners though so, I thought I'd drop a line and let you guys know what is changing. We have a Skin Designers Guide, so all the details are over there. Briefly though the key things to note are:

• Updates are not REQUIRED. Old skins will still work just fine.
• If you want to take advantage of the new fancy backdrop fading transition possible in Moving Pictures 0.7, a (pretty simple) change is required. Again, see the guide for details. If you do not make this change your skin again, will still work fine, but backdrops will not fade when the image changes.
• A new "working" animation has been added to indicate when a background task such as movie importation is in progress.

Again, please check out the guide. If anyone has any questions though, fire away. And if anyone would like an alpha version to test skin changes against send me a PM with a link to an already released skin you actively maintain. Sorry this alpha is for internal testers (we are full right now) and skin designers only.

Actually, I had to update both Monochrome and Aeon Wide to work with 0.70. But I'll release skin files for those shortly after the plugin release.

Wow, thanks for doing this, it's a big help. And I find your documentation is excellent. When you are going to rewrite the MP wiki!
