[QUOTE="ajp8164, post: 869644, member: 64375"] Hi all - I have dramatically improved (IMHO ;-) how skin settings are managed within MP Config. Please see attached screen shots. I posted a new build in post 3. Please test this out and if all is good I can merge to the 1.3 alpha branch. I need to update the wiki to match these changes. Here is a quick summary... [LIST] [*]I have separated the genre mapping (database genres to tv guide genres) from the tv guide color setup. This is step 1, step 2 is to move the genre mapping capability into the tv server settings. For the moment the genre mapping function is still located in MP Configuration.exe at "TV->TV Client->Guide settings". The genremap and genreoptions sections are still stored in MediaPortal.xml. [*]I have added a button called "Edit Skin Settings" in MP Configuration.exe at GUI, underneath the skin preview. This button provides access to a new dialog that provides for managing settings for the selected skin. [*]I have created a new dialog that manages skin settings (accessed as described above). All skin settings are stored in the skins SkinSettings.xml file. [LIST] [*]You can browse and choose a skin theme for the selected skin (similar to browsing and choosing a skin). [LIST] [*]If there is a preview.png in the theme media folder then that image will appear when you choose the theme. If a theme preview.png is not found then the skin preview.png is used. If a skin preview.png is not found then a default generic MP image is used. [/LIST] [*]You can set the colors for the tv guide (genre colors and default colors). [LIST] [*]All tv guide colors are now stored in SkinSettings.xml, not in MediaPortal.xml. Please delete the "tvguidecolors" section from your MediaPortal.xml (not doing so will not cause harm).
