Hi.
massimo

The only plugin in your list that is supported with a specific xml layout is Last.FM

 

[infinite.loop]

Can you give me any hints on the font size you would require as minimum on your screens?

I have been talking with frodo this morning. I also showed him your skin and he likes it a lot

He said that in his opinion the minimum fontsize should be 16.

i will try and fiddle around with the fontsizes when i get some time (maybe friday afternoon).

Nice to hear such positive feedback about the skin. Can you post some screenshots of your results so we can have a look?

i will post a few screenshots and the changed xml files, but be aware that i am not a designer, so it could be a bit messy.

should be possible tomorrow afternoon.

I had some time to play around with the fontsize

It turned out that a fontsize of 14 in the list view is very easiely readable, without messing evyrthing completely up here.

screenshot and changed xml attached.
its just a quick and dirty test!

Thats much better! Can this be done for all fonts smaller then 14 without messing up the layout?

Hi and thanks for the tests. I guess this could be done fairly easily for all smaller fonts. I am a bit unsure how it will look on the smaller textures like the tab buttons for example. But please feel free to modify as much as you want. Then I can try to incorporate the changes in a small screen version of core.

I will also post some new screenshots soon. I am currently workng on a new process bar design and trying to get all OSD's in place.

i think that the screensize on the tabs is not such an issue. because the text wont change.

i mean that soon you "know" which tab/button does what.
the problem with the smallfontsize is mainly in those places which display i.e. files/folders, EPG ect.
so places where you must "read" the text to know what it is, because it always changing.

i will have a look at other places to be changed too

maybe others are willing too help also?

basichome.xml and mytvguide.xml which contains the changes, is attached.

 

[infinite.loop]

I have just noticed that the TVSeries.xml inclused in the skin seems not to work. at least i dont get any series listed with it.
the one for Blue2 or PMIII works.

tried to find out why, but i am a skinning noob

 

[infinite.loop]

last ones from me for today

MyTVHome-Server and MiniEPG.

In mytvhomeServer.xml, the fontsize specification was missing for several buttons.
i have added it with fontsize 14.
maybe should be added to the original version too

Nice fix's Infinity, by this time tomorrow when I sober up the whole skin is complete?

Anyway, I got the series to show up with the original .xml once, but a second time entering the series, it displayes nothing. (using latest tvseries plugin)

I tryed coming around this by replacing the tvseries.xml from latest revision and nonafu. Still the same. Very odd.. Think its something in the reference.xml.
