[QUOTE="Verbal, post: 23643, member: 15517"] New high visiblity skin for NTSC CRT televisions: [img]http://www.pastabagel.com/images/osd-music2.jpg[/img] This sample screen would replace this one: [img]http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/gallery/MCEMusic.JPG[/img] Please tell me what you think. My motivation was to make a skin that is very visible, low noise, high contrast, and very easy to use for people new to the MP concept. It hopefully also presents the information in an obvious way. I realize that people in another thread have been complaining about the lack of follow-through from skin designers. Well, I've already started this skin, and am nearly finished it, however, I have a problem that the senior skin designers should be able to help with. The normal thumbnail view in mp is 3x3, with the album cover buried in grey background. I can't seem to find a setting in the xml files that allows me to control the grid layout to make this 5x2. It would be nice to do this. First, while it's only one more thumbnnail than the current skins, it brings the total per screen to ten, which is easier for your brain to chunk than 9 or 16 per screen. Furthermore, you'll also notice that I dropped the song titles from under the album covers. This isn't any less confusing than the current way, because there isn't enough room to put any more than just the beginning of the mp3 filename, which in most cases is the artist or album anyway. So anyone have a guide to manipulating the thumbnail panel control? [/QUOTE]
