[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1225858, member: 141969"] Well... MP is a volunteer project. It seems to me that people volunteer to work on those aspects of MP that interest them, or on those aspects that they want to use themselves. Fixes for the Maya skin are most likely to be provided by someone who wants to use the Maya skin. Can you really expect people who have no interest in using the Maya skin to spend the time identifying the problems and providing the fixes? I see from your details that you are a software engineer. I am too, but I will not be contributing to the MP core programming because I have no skills in the programming languages used (C++ and C#). But I wanted something that none of the existing skins provide -- a large live TV thumbnail (I want a thumbnail that is big enough to follow what is happening). So I selected a skin that I liked (the classic "Default Wide" skin), and changed that to include a large live TV thumbnail. Prior to this I had no skin-programming skills -- I learnt as I went along. You could too, if you felt motivated to fix the Maya skin. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
