Skin engine enhancements (themes, guide colors, skin functions, weather settings...) (3 Viewers)

Re: Skin engine enhancements (themes, guide colors, skin functions, weather settings.

I'll need to relook at the texture blending operation that provides for the genre coloring (done in MP's FontEngine) to see if this can be done with the current implementation. If not, I'll be reluctant to change the FontEngine for 1.3 - the entire MP GUI depends on the FontEngine working well.

I understand. you very much for your continuous effort in building a feature for the community.
The Area51 section should allow users to donate and/or vote for the most desired development.

As long as Andy don't come back and finish this great and very promising feature I doubt this will be in mp 1.3
I hope you find more time for this soon.

Hi all,

Sorry I've been on a bit of a break (the day job has been killing me ;-)

I updated the feature branch from master and rebuilt. No changes to feature branch content. The new build is posted on page 1 of this thread.

Survey: Is the current implementation of TV guide genre color customization good enough for 1.3? I realize it can be improved but if it's good enough for release I'd prefer to leave it as is as it appears to be stable and working.

Hi ajp8164

I post a topic, a button that did not scroll the text when it was too long ...
I do not think he was treated! I will retry my luck lol

Extract of the subject: Link
For French user, we need more word for translate software :

Example : excerpt from sleepcontrol
English : "Timer stopped due running tasks..."
French : "Minuterie arrêté en raison des tâches en cours d'exécution..."

for "Button" Type : no problem the text scrolling
For "toggleButton" : scrolling no work

Hi,

Comments such as this do not help. The team is coordinating the fixes for 1.3, so with respect, you are just speculating. Unfortunately some people will assume that you have inside knowledge and before long it will become a 'fact'.

Best wishes,

Mark

azzurro - you're telling the wrong guy! Andy created a new checkbutton control in 1.2.0 alpha , BUT for backwards compatibility (to not break any plugins) he left the existing togglebutton. Unfortunately not many have updated to use the new checkbutton control even though it supports Andy's 1.20 skin features like scrolling text, never mind the features for 1.3.0! So start telling the plugin devs to use it!

I would like to see it as properly/fully implemented so that in 1.4 version we wouldn't have to change how the EPG coloring is handled (pita for skinners and users). If it is enough for the future use then why not having it in 1.3 when it is stable.
