Possible to change UI opacity or hide it? (1 Viewer)

[Marienkind]

I would really like to make the information panel that overlays on videos translucent so I can still see/read whats under it. Whenever its up its blocking subtitles and that gets very annoying. Is there a way to remedy this? Such as a skin, plugin, mod or hack?

This all depends on the skin. If you're talking about DefaultWide you can edit the following files:
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\DefaultWide\videoOSD.xml
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\DefaultWide\common.expanded.video.osd.xml
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\DefaultWide\TVOSD.xml
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\DefaultWide\common.expanded.tv.osd.xml

Look for the background image which is blue.png. The first two hexadecimal numbers of colordiffuse is used to set transparency. Default is "ee" so the following would make it more transparent:

      <texture>blue.png</texture>
      <colordiffuse>aaffffff</colordiffuse>

Eh, I don't have that skin or those lines of code. Maybe it's because I'm using 1.1.3? My skin is Blue3wide and it lacks any lines of code that pertain to background color, only text. Will any skin work on any version of mediaportal or do I have to upgrade? I've been using 1.1.3 for a while now because it works best for me, after trying the new versions.

But thanks though, you at least pointed me in the right direction.
