First let me thank Mirk for providing this great skin to the community, it is still the bast out there by far, and I hope he does not mind be messing with greatness!
So I must have had a bit too much time on my hands today, so I thought I would give skinning a try.
I have modifed the brilliant SpinSafe Revolve skin to make better use of realestate when combined with Fan Art.
It is not completly finished yet, got to tidy up a fw things, like the playing video overlay, but should works well enough for a taster, see what you think, and let me know if you find any other bugs in it.
Just explode this zip into your spinsafe skin folder, there are a few new .png files in there as well.
In the screen shots you can see I have added a semi-transparent background to the information area in both light and dark modes + I have a new background for the series list. This makes it easier to read when you have a full picture background, I have made it so you should use _light_ for all full picture backgrounds.
As you can see in the wrong shadow picture, if a fan art already includes an information semi transparent area, then this clashes with the new one in the skin. The correct place for any of these shadow objects is in the skin, so fan art should be re-submitted without these. (please
)
Finally, I set all the screen positions for use on a 1280x720 screen, as the skin was originally written for, but I did all my testing on the UK equivalent 1360 x 768.
