[nonafo] - !!!!overscan friendly with latest SVN!!!!! (4 Viewers)

[mofux]

this is a wonderful skin. excellent choice of colors. very clean and functional. i love it.

but i want to point out an issue mentioned here before: keep an eye on the overscan/titlesafe issue coming with CRTs.
i used "soundgraph imedian" for a while and the thing that made this otherwhile good software unusable was the titlesafe issue.

you could try to setup your CRT view range within Windows - at least commodre 64 did and the skin is working fine for him now... just have a look on it

I had to adjust for overscan. My CRT is a Philips 30PW8520, which I output over component with a 6600GT. I use the latest official nV drivers available at www.nVidia.com.

I tried 1776 x 1000, 60hz (Many CRTs support this natively). This almost alleviated the overscan issues, but not quite.

To completely solve the problem, I used the overscan compensation in my display properties and it works really, really well. I just set my resolution to 1920 x 1080, 60Hz, then manually adjusted the screen for overscan using the Nvidia controls for it. Really, it is quite simple and works very well.

fixed - update will be released soon.
i also did a config app for nonafo which lets you setup the additional plugins that aren't in home now, so keep interested in this

Cool !!!

Some things I noticed.

The weather pluigin crashes when no internet is available.
videofullscreen.xml and mytvfullscreen.xml r still in mce layout.
tvguide and miniepg accessed through the dialog in tv crashes sometimes. Prolly cause the skin is not up2date yet.

Looking forward to an update!

Hello Mofux

Any Update ?

The only thing which prevents me from using your skin on an everyday basis is the PowerScheduler problem. Since you're using a basichome PowerScheduler doesn't seems to put the computer down when idling on the home page.

Hi CHli,

scoop has solved this problem with the powersheduler and basichomescreen, you must use latest svn.

Greetings Harley
