Looks good. I would probably use it if there were a StreamedMP skin. Could you do that?

 

[DieBagger]

out of curiosity: which library are you using?

Hey Clobber,
Yep, I can include the StreamedMP skin. (That was my favorite skin until I discovered Theatre )

out of curiosity: which library are you using?

Hey DieBagger,
I am using a library I found from InterIMAP. I have been failry happy with how quickly I was able to impliment the plugin using their library...

Nice
Of course, X-Factor skin support would also be good.

Does the plugin provide any info (label) on new message arrivals that could be used on a home screeen when there is new msg in inbox?

Hey Solis66,
I have been making every attempt to make that a reality. I can modify the name the PluginName() method returns, but it only gets refreshed when you open the plugin I have been looking for another way to update the plugin name so it would display as messages are received. I also thought about an indicator on the home page, but that would take some modifications to MP.

If anyone has any ideas on how to do this please share...

Oh and yes, I can provide a skin for X-Factor...

EDIT: I guess I could create a common.email.xml file, and then put an include in the home page of the skin? The only issue with that would be with skins that generate a home/basic home page (StreamedMP, MediaStream, etc...) I guess I could put the include in the common.time.xml file (I think most every screen uses that file.)

Is it possible to just use a property (#new_msg) so that you can use a label in basic home, at least for now.

Something like:
If no msg, set "#new_msg" = empty string, or "#new_msg= 1 new message".

Yes it is... I just ran a quick test, I added a label to the common.time.xml file and it worked like a charm. So every page that uses the common.time.xml page will have the new mail information...

This looks great! I've been looking for a way to check my Gmail from within MP and this would fit the bill perfectly.

And if you were inclined to combine it with your Touch of Blue Mediastream skin (which I'm still using), so much the better!

After investigating the Theater skin, I found the Black Glass skin which is based on Theater (I think). However, I found that Black Glass looks better. How about a skin for BG?
