[Skin] Reality - RealMP gone wide.....kinda - Updated 24.06 (2 Viewers)

[defcon5]

I've tried it an I do like it. Some issues / thoughts of my side:

Font size in a lot of screens is to small. I have a 26" lcd but and it's hard to read from a distance.
The font for the tv programs wich are not playing in the tv-guide hasn't got enough contrast. It's dark blue on blue. Together with the font size it makes it impossible to read.
I think when selecting tetris you should also see a "meshed" picture.

Keep up the good work!

I think same, the fonts is too small but the skin is very nice.
My congratulations for this work an I hope you will finish and notice everybody.
At this moment is my principal skin.

Since I updated yesterday the first of two SVN don´t work the Y key OSD menu.
I´ve proved with other skins and then work fine.
If this possible? Could you to prove it?

Thanks

that's odd, do all other skins work? when you say the first of the two, does that mean it works with the second one again?

 

[defcon5]

it was yesterday
The day before, sunday, works fine but yesterday after to install de first SVN I noted the "Y" key not response, then installed the second and neither.
Changing of skin (MCE, Razor, standards on MP) works fine.
This was my experience, it should to prove someone more

See you

Ok, I'll look into it.

I have also begun updating it again, tv OSD is no revised, some general layout fixes done and if i get to it i want to do some new dialog gfx.

Out sometime this weekend.

any luck on the 4:3? I love the look of this one and would love to give it a try

 

[Inker]

Nope, sorry, no 4:3 planned. Just too much work.

I have changed the looks a bit, and gotten rid of most of the green bars and stuff. Now highlights are white outlined and kinda glassy.

If I get to finish it I'll upload an update tomorrow, otherwise it will take another week (I really only have time on the weekends).

Little Update after quite alot of changes. I'll upload the results so far tomorrow, although don't expect perfection. But it's def. better than whats there already.

As I said main changes was moving away from the green. But alot of fixes and small changes here and there. Finally I also have the Video OSD running for TV. Couple of things left, but I'll upload tomorrow after some final testing of the most important stuff.

All Screenshots from a live running version obviously:

1) Slightly changed home

2) List View

3) Icon View

4) Big Icon View

5) Filmstrip View

6) New Dialog (now standard for every popup)

7) OSD that (although show here with a movie) now also works in TV

In Icon Views the Highlighted Item is a little hard to see, but it springs to the front if you move around, since it "pops out" a little bit. Trusts me its better and when run since you can see movement. You will obviously need a higher resolution or else it will get really hard (720p recommended), but I really like the layout it has now. Besides its 16:9 anyways and those screen usually have a higher resolution.

C&C welcome.

Inker,

I've just downloaded the skin. I think it looks really nice.

A couple of comments.
TV
1. TV guide - Cannot read upcoming programmes very easily there needs to be more contrast in the colours.
2. Mini EPG - with the roundends the text overruns the boxes
3. Mini EPG - the channel icons don't sit nicely in the boxes.

Mes Films
1. You are missing Update button from the details screen
2. The menus top left are covered by the box around the title.

Movies
The sellected movie title initally appear blurred, as though there are two pieces of text slightly out of alignment.

Thanks for your efforts.
