Hope im not stepping on anyones toes here, I couldnt wait for the 4:3 version so i started it myself. Firstly I must congratulate Psyco Reptile & Mofux for creating Such a wicked skin. Ive been waiting for this one to be completd since i first saw it. immediatly replaced pm3 which takes some doing, especially as i was so excited about harleys new animations!, Might be next thing to do to Rep4:3

NOTE::: This wasnt intended to be distrubuted it was a put me on till it was released but someone has asked me for it, so i thought others may use it. BE CAREFUL, this is not a direct 4:3 replacement, I was going to use it myself only and changed parts of it to suit my needs. (Mainly so i didnt have to enter the plugins screen.
To get it working properly I HIGHLY SUGGEST you install the following plugins, else you will find redundant buttons!


TV Series
My Burner
My Lyrics
My Weather Overlay
My Programs
My Radio
wwwitv.com


Variations on the 16:9 version.....
1. basic home> weather now called games and goes to My Programs
2. My TV now has "internet TV" which launches www.ITV.com (with redesigned screen) + install the music player/plugins/visualizations/www.itv.xml to add 40 music & 3 adult streams into the favourites
3. My Music now has radio button
4. Stop, Pause, Play Buttons Added to topbar (not very clean but i needed the functinality)
5. Most thumbnails have been resized for 16:9 and text labled moved to accomodate
There are other additions/tweaks but i cant remember off hand


Included in the RAR is my wwwitv.xml which contains about 40 "favourite" channels. Mainy Music Channels but also some adult <<< REMOVE IF YOU NEED TO!!!, Youve been warned theyre there!, but its taken me a while to find them all, thought they may be of use!
-------------------------------
Fixed Not being able to sort by artist, use sort by name and it will sort by artist!, still waiting for an official fix, dont install windowplugins.dll if you dont want to fix this ( i suggest you dont as its not been tested properly, not found any problems yet though)
-------------------------------
Strings.XML has 3/4 additions:
<string Prefix="My ">
<id>200099</id>
<value>Games</value>
</string>

<string Prefix=" ">
<id>555456</id>
<value> </value>
</string>

<string>
<id>555001</id>
<value>Internet TV</value>
</string>
---------------------------------



If you are not advanced enough to debug any errors, then i suggest you install the 16:9 version and copy only the
skins/replicant folder (rename to replicant 4:3)
strings.xml
plugins/windows/*.dll - dont overwrite your existing ones but make sure the above are enabled in configuration

Nice one, its uploading now.
Tom there will be a new one with fading animations, Customisable Background for basic home & HOPEFULLY, a randomiser for the background, Quicky finding out photos are no use, landscapes & spectrals work well though

Looking forward to trying this!

Cheers

ive uploaded it, but i dont know where to find it, ive checked the skins but its not there, does it have to be validated or am i looking in the wrong place

 

[mofux]

first of all - i find it sooooo enormous cool that someone is keeping nonafo alive and even advancing it, so thanks thank thanks alot m.standish and Psycho Reptile.

ive uploaded it, but i dont know where to find it, ive checked the skins but its not there, does it have to be validated or am i looking in the wrong place

just wait some time till some admin reads over it and then adds it to the site, the uploads need to be reviewed.

thanks again guys!

you gotta be joking, I loved this skin, was really gutted when it wasnt complete. Really liked PM3, then replicant came out so that went on 16:9 ver even tho ive got a 4:3 TV, couldnt wait for reptile to do the 4:3, i need it now LOL Now i want to combine the best of both PM3 & Nonafo, mixed in with the good bits from the other ones. Liked it so much It even got me into 3 days of trying to get vis c# running!

current job.... Animations, Half way there, looks pretty smart but im having trouble finding a gif animator that keeps the transparent background, I want the basic home icons to flash or shrink/grow when in focus, Hoping to get this Ver Up tom night

Job After, Remove need for entering my plugins by integrating everything into other menus

next job..... Making the album list look more like CD ends like you would see in a rack.

one after... Changing Main graphics to a more HiFi / Proffesional look and getting away from the cartoony looks.

over my head job... FIRST CLICK select a CD, animation that pulls the cd out,shows cover, NEXT CLICK, opens case and shows LH side (Inlay) - track names, RH side - CD Disk image, THIRD CLICK, Case Drops off screen, CD Spins, tilts (doubt its poss to do both) and dissapears into a slot the bottom of the coverart. VOILA CD PLAYS just like the real thing. Yeah ok IM in so over my head now you wouldnt believe but hey its worth dreaming.
^^^^^^^^^^^
ANY HELP, IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS HERE WOULD BE FANTASTIC. Ive had this idea for past 2 years but never been able to put it into action. Also if you can spot any pitfalls I wouldnt mind if ya tell me LOL, should be poss in theory

 

[mofux]

for the animations, if you just need scale and fade use the new animations that frodo gave us a few days ago... they are quite awsome and will spare you alot of time!
just install the latest SVN and have a look on Blue2

 

[m.standish]

Is there some list of what controls the animation will do?
