[new skin] pm3sexy - an updated PM3 4:3 skin (1 Viewer)

[citizenkeys]

changes to the 1024x768 version.
mainly, i got the video/music overlays to look more better.
i will apply the changes to the 16:9 high-def version in the near future.
until it gets added to the files archive, grab it here:

Thanks citizenkeys! Great skin!
I would really love to use it but I have a strange problem: in home screen, the image is too small. I can see all animation and menus etc. but it is downscaled to about 2/3 of the screen in the upper left corner (see attachement). When selecting an option, like Music, all looks fine.
Any idea?

* tell mediaportal to use "Basic Home" in the Media Portal config.

* make sure you're selecting the correct skin in Media Portal config.

* make sure you're using the latest release of the skin.

* ALWAYS clear your "skin cache" folder when installing an updated version. Delete everything in that folder.

if you use WindowsXP, the skin cache is usually located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache

if doing all that doesn't solve the problem, post something here.

Thanks for the advice.
I did everything as indicated and I got the skin now working in fullscreen, but it doesn't look right: no MP logo in the upper left and I can't find the plugins (see attachement).

The same for me, additionally I cannot see my recordings in "My TV" / "Recordings". The folder seems to be empty although I have some files in the corresponding Windows folder. Can only access those via manually adding a link via "My Videos".

What doesn't look right besides the missing logo?
the logo was intentionally removed for the most recent release because it didn't quite fit with the page layout, specifically it's oval shape.
I'm working on bringing the logo back in the immediate future.

what plugins do you use that you can't access?
* "Moving Pictures" is accessible through the "Theater View" button in "My Videos"
* "MP-TVSeries" is accessible through the "Television View" button in "My Videos".

Let me know what plugin you use that you can't access and I'll add support for it.

that sounds like a configuration problem and not a skin problem. Post a screenshot of the page with the problem and I'll see if I can figure it out.

Thanks for helping. The "My Recordings" screen looak like Screenshot 3 (no recordings displayed) whereas it seems to be fine with the Blue Retro Skin (Screenshot 5)...

 

[citizenkeys]

that particular page just needs some minor adjustments. I'll fix it sometime tomorrow.

Thanks for helping us citizenkeys ;-)

I personally make a broad use of plugins like:
- Last.FM
- Video Editor
- WorldMap
- RSS-News
- Online Video
- My Lyrics

Cheers

the "My Recordings" page seems easy to fix, so I'll look at that later.

I finally gave up trying to get anything useful out of the last.fm plugin.
the other plugins i will try to check out and integrate somehow.

post some screenshots of the other plugins in action (with another skin) so I can get an idea of how they should look.
