Rounded covers (1 Viewer)

[Shangostar]

Hi, trevor mentioned in another thread that it is possible to get rounded style covers in streamedMP with a bit of tweaking like in the new coverflow in blue3wide.

I'd like to have this style on my system as I always did like the credit card style and missed it since jumping from popcornhour to HTPC.

Can it be done for all views or only in coverflow?

And the ultimate question

How is it done?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

when installing StreamedMP just click the 'Rounded Corners' option

I do check that when installing but it doesn't do what I'm referring to, either its for something else altogether or it doesn't work or something else needs to be done in addition.

This has never worked for me

Hi,

The rounded corner option only effects TVSeries amd MovingPictures, not Music, Pictures or Videos so by default and to maintain a common look coverflow also has no rounded corners.

We are going to address this and expand the to rounded corner support to all layouts that work.

For now if you want rounded corners on coverflow there are two options.

1. (Preferred) Copy video_poster_mask.png to video_poster_square_mask.png, saving the latter somewhere safe.
** Remember to Clear the Cache **

2. For the xml files common.facade.music.xml, common.facade.video.xml and common.facade.pictures.xml change all referances of video_poster_square_mask.png to video_poster_mask.png


Of the two options I would go for 1 as changing the xmls will chnage their checksum and these will be excluded for any future patches and currently those xmls are in flux and very likley to be updated.

thx
