Hi to all!

I have only one question. Does anybody knows where can I get the big image of the sudokus background? I'm talking about these background:

http://x-factor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/web/menu_games_sub_suduko.jpg

And also... does anybody have a good background for the Tetris game?

Thanks for your help and keep up with the fantastic job cul8er.

damn cul8ter that looks nice! how about the preformance?
because other themes seems to be faster than xfactor? would the next version lighter?

and when do you expect it?

are the new b&S and colour images different images or a rollover script?

I also hope for a little faster home menu.

Hi,

What do you mean by faster? Faster when you navigate the basichome or open it up when leaving a plugin? The xfactor skin will never be as fast as other lighter skins. To make the kind of menu I use with current limitations i MP skinengine I have to add alot of thing many times and controll visibility (show / hide on certain conditions). This is noting I can change, sorry.

I try to answer your question. On my system should be faster when leaving a pluging. I have to wait 4-5 sec to return to the basichome menu.

Hi,

Thank you for the explanation. This is exactly what I mean. This is nothing I can change. The current MP skinengine and all the options in xfactor basichome makes this a heavy skin. It will never be as fast as blue3wide or xface or even streamedmp.

It would be very nice if you can also make some improvements on the TV OSD for the next version.

I am missing the info about the following show. When it begins and the name of the show, like it is with StreamedMP.

Hi jof,

I will add this so it is available in next release. Thank you!

Hi,

If you think xfactor is to slow in your system do this;
* Minimize (using the menu editor) the number of folders you use for submenu items.

For example;
Today separate folders exist for tetris, sudoku, games, settings, plugins, radio, lastfm. This means that the skin must load this every time you leave a plugin and goes to basichome. If you instead only use games (for games, tetris and sodoku), radio (for radio and lastfm) and settings (for settings and plugins) you allready will have a faster skin.

By folders I mean the number of subfolders to your Animations directory that you then use in basichome.

cheers
