Skin preview - Reflex - updated 18-06-12 (1 Viewer)

I think this skin looks fantastic, it's replaced Avallonis as my default skin.

However I have one question. In my past skins, most of the "yes / no" selection dialogue boxes that appear have the "Yes" option highlighted by default, which makes selection of things quicker. For example, to delete a recorded TV program in my old skin, I only had to press 2 buttons on my remote - "0" and then the "OK" . This was very quick. Now I have to press "0", then move "Up" and then press OK. I know it doesn't sound like much more, but for me the fewer steps the better.

So, my question... is there a global setting I can change that makes the yes/no dialogue box highlight the "Yes" option by default?

Thanks.

Oh, btw:

Skin evolution and history

First there was nonafo (mofux):

.... then came ReVision/RePlicant (Psycho Reptile)

... and now we got Reflex (pilehave)!

(Damn, I've been on these forums way to long.....)

Why have I not noticed this before? Wow!

Is this ready for 1.3.0alpha when it is released?

I was around XBMC, DVBViewer, GB-PVR, Meedios and a couple of others I can't recall. Guess you got lucky with finding MP from the beginning

It's both good and bad, to be able to delete stuff, without any real confirmation (fast double-click, I'm looking at you!)
Fortunately you can have it your way easily:

Open up the file dialogYesNo.xml in your favorite text-editor and change

<defaultcontrol>10</defaultcontrol>

to

<defaultcontrol>11</defaultcontrol>

Ta da

It should be closer when 1.3.0 A is out, but no promises

Wow, you're fast! Great support.
Thanks very much... I'll use it with care

I just make suggestions these days, "too many irons in the fire" (old Swedish expression).

not read the whole thread ,, but just went to download and install this skin ,, very very nice work ,
as i use touch screen , this skin works very well ...
the only slight issue i have regards to my touch screen setup and this skin , is the top control bar , (home,play,pause) etc is to small could do with being double the size i think .. and the list sliders, also could do with a larger select area,,
this is just my opinon,,, no dis repect to the great work all ready ,, and its the only supported skin that gives me the 2 features mentioned above.......

if your willing to make ajustments to these 2 features ,, thats fantastic,, but its your work ,, and i will continue to use it either way
thank you thank you
