ORIGINAL THREAD (OLD): About the X-Factor Skin (7 Viewers)

[crackmaniac]

Hi,

And yet another alternative to TVSeries Wide Banners view. I think this is my favourite, what do you think?

cheers
cul8er

Yeah, I realy like this one.



Edit:
I have the same problem like sergiocos has with the poster-view

Hi sergiocos,

Can you try this regarding the slow loading of TVSeries pictures;
1. Open the TVSeries.SkinSettings.xml file in the skin/xfactor library.
2. Change this line <seriesbanners>100</seriesbanners> to <seriesbanners>60</seriesbanners>
3. Change this line <seriesposters>100</seriesposters> to <seriesposters>20</seriesposters>
4. Change this line <seasonbanners>100</seasonbanners> to <seasonbanners>75</seasonbanners>
5. Change this line <episodethumbs>100</episodethumbs> to <episodethumbs>90</episodethumbs>

Does this help?

And I will look at the radio problem for you as well.

best regards

I'm encountering the same problem!

And one more thing: When I'm navigating to my plugins, the layout seems to be corrupted... The plugin that is displayed just below the edge of my screen is the one that is selected when I press enter. So it is not in focus... (I'm using 1360x768 screen resolution)

Keep up the good work!

Hi Cul8er,

I took your big thumbnails view and changed it so it perfectly suits my needs (only duration and summary) creating the perfect balance of fanart and information i need, but i'm a lousy skinner, so it's not quite as nice as your skins. However, i thought that may be it could bring you to new ideas so i attached a screenshot of it. If you don't like it please forget it . If it's not appropriate to post these things here, my sincere apologies

i like it.
But there could be some more details, there is much free space around the summary

 

[Harmani]

Yeah year of production would be nice to be included!

this workaround seems to load posters faster, but there is a slight quality loss, so I can live without it... I preffer X-Factor to "shine", and I can wait for 2 secs for the posters to load. It seems strange, that's all (btw, there are 35 posters in my TV-Series).

I want to thank you for your quick response and for the radio-fix (whenever you are ready). Your work is kindly appreciated.

Thanks for the responses. I kept it as clean as possible with only the (for me) important details, perhaps i could include the year after the title between ( ), but it's not necessary for me.

But i'm not promoting a mod or something. It's just some inspiration for cul8er (i hope).

wow more than 60 pages!!

can we split it into a few different topics?

release topic < only the skinner en author used it.
faq/tips < al the answers at questions in the other topics bundeled into one great FAQ ?
bug reports/questions < requests problems etc..
mods
