New Community Theme: Bamboo (1 Viewer)

[ge2301]

Regarding the error, have you added a reference to Titanium plugin already? I thought it should work then, because BackgroundManager is a dependency of Titanium.

If you added it already, also add the dependencies of Titanium:
<PluginReference PluginId="{5D239050-02B8-4f58-8301-7630A1C4CF85}"/> <!-- SkinBase -->
<PluginReference PluginId="{F6C71648-3874-4d27-9232-C41EBEDE0337}"/> <!-- Background Manager -->
<PluginReference PluginId="{AD9C0439-F9DA-443c-BAC3-163891FB09F1}"/> <!-- Weather -->

I check where the size of tiles is defined

I have referenced all, but error remains, means MP2 falls back to standard skin during start-up.
Most probably I'm doing something wrong, because when I place the skin plugins in MP2 plugin folder they are not recognized
Only way to make MP2 consider them is placing the themes directly in the theme folder. Do plugins need to be registered/loaded in MP2 manually?
Perhaps you can try with below plugin files and see, if there is any problem.

The good thing: The theme is ready and I also prepared a second version.

1) TitaniumBambooSkin

​

• Bamboo background (I removed the stones from first version)
  
• Green color adjustments
  
• Settings background in bamboo wood style
• Smaller buttons (5x)
  
• Button pictues same

2) TitaniumBambooDarkSkin

​

• Dark bamboo background
• Dark color adjustments
• Settings background in dark wood style
• Smaller buttons (5x)
  
• Almost all button pictures are exchanged -> Full Asia Style

EDIT: Updated download version later in this thread!

Please post your MP2-client.log (ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\Log), I'm sure we find out the reason

Please also attach the full version of your plugin, I probably have to debug this issue locally.

I attached the full plugin in above zip files. Something missing?

Ah sorry, I thought they contain only theme folders. Now that I looked at them I think I know the reason:

Your folder structure contains:
Skin\default\themes\BambooDark\theme.xml

But as your themes are for Titanium (not default) skin, it should be:
Skin\Titanium\themes\BambooDark\theme.xml

Skin\Titanium\themes\BambooDark\theme.xml

Problem remains unfortunately sfter adjustment or folder names.
If I exchange the OtherOverrideControls.xaml with the one from default/styles/ everything is working. Difference is only

<!-- Menu template -->
<DataTemplate x:Key="MainMenuItemDataTemplateHover">
<Grid x:Name="ItemControl" Margin="0,0,0,0" Width="340" Height="224"> <!-- Height and Width of button background picture -->
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="180"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>​

For me it works correctly:

1. I took you archive from post above, extracted it into MP2-Client\Plugins
2. I changed the PluginID, it was still the one of BlackBackdrop theme (always remember to give new IDs!) (see plugin.xml)
3. I changed the folder name structure

Please take a look at the modified attachment

Oh, I gave new ID's. I was working in the theme folder and plugin folder in parallel, it seems I forgot to sync both.
However, the problem still remains even after correcting the PluginID. I can select both bamboo themes without problems.
Once I close MP2 and restart, it falls back to standard skin and error file shows a problem with loading of background manager.

There will be a new version out of MP2 in "near future". I propose I will completely uninstall my current MP2 version and install the new version.
If you had no problem, I believe this will also solve my problem. If not, I'll come back here

Ah, maybe I misunderstood: I switched theme and it worked. But now after restart I can confirm the issue, it switches back to default. Willl start debugging
