    The Skin is looking a hundred times better than Blue 2 so good work :)

    One thing I did not really get was the Filmstrip layout in music being on the angle. I just think filmstrip works better flat on ??

    I agree! Also the strip on an angle has no anti aliassing. So the images edges look not as smooth as I hoped.
    But, the possibilities of this new skin approach are endless. So perhaps this skin is a great inspiration for other skinners. Think about monochrome and how it could look like with this new features.

    I agree get rid of the funny angle the strip is at and make the thumbs look more like DVD covers. IE exactly the way the indigo skin does it.


    I hate the mepo thing. you spend lots of money on your HTPC to WOW people. That thing just ruins it for me.

    It makes it look like a joke on my 1080p display.

    more high resolution images and lots of polished icons with AA.

    I presume the is no AA on most icons because you will need to release a 16x9 version. blue 3 wide i'm sure will be better suited to HDTV's.

    Click to expand...

    so, the jagged edge is the results of No AA and its not a wide screen ?

    my wife and kiddo loves this skin and its going to be our default as well as xface (still my fav)

    I would love to see 2 things improved, 3d covers in filmstrip (angle is slick) and the other is TVguide (too many lines, but if it is close to the way xface look it would then rock)

    thanks harley.... your skill is gold

    all you gotta do is force AA on in your gfx control pannel... the 7600GT in my htpc does a nice job with 4xAA to smooth the edges of the filmstrip

    a print screen with 4xaa
    plz click to view full the resizing makes it look like crapola.

    Get rotatex, rotatey and rotatez to work on individual elements, and I'm all happy. I think it looks awful to rotate the whole facadeview, I want real 3D ;)

    Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...

There is this thread that introduces the plugin, and this thread that details some changes to the Titan skin made by Gary Martyn (from 2013 :eek: ). I installed the plugin on my Aorus...

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
