[Skin release] SimpleMP Beta 4 (MP 0.2.3.0) (1 Viewer)

This sounds great! I have very little spare time right now to work on the skin (running my own business)... but I really want to continue to work on it! Great to hear that you're still helping me out! I have a long todo-list and the new reflection support is on it!

* Replaced all *_logo.png files with language depended xml-strings. Faster loading times and the semitransparent text (in the upper-left corner) will be displayed in your choosen language.

Yes! Why does not every skin do this?

Good to hear from you, and especially good to hear that there's a lot of interest. There was one or two minor issues I had already told you about (still cant figure out a way to get screenshots of them), but it looks like there's still more to be done.

Ok, I'll carry on working on it then (just didn't want to be duplicating effort!).

Since I'm no good with graphics - you've done the hard work for most of it already, I'm happy to carry on working on the xml side.

If you want to send me your to-do list I'll try and have a look at it.

I'll keep you updated of any progress.

Oh and good luck with the business.

After some initial playing i've updated the music filmstrip view and added a button for the new music menu. (pinched a few files from BlueTwo for now), needs work currently.

Also been playing around with the My TV Series. Think I may redesign it, to differentiate it more from the BlueTwo version a bit more.

Also just been playing with home screen (just added reflection to MediaPortal Logo)

Maybe switching the tv-episode list with the info text would be better to prevent videoOverlay from overlapping the list when playing video.

If you want I can send you some hacks that will make it easier for the users to navigate to videOverlay.

Sh4nn0w -> Check your mail

Others: I will have time to continue the work of this skin next week. I'm glad to see all the positive response and the huge amount of downloads... nearly 12 000 dl's

This skin will not die.

I really like this skin. - great work!

Would love to see a 16x9 version, but I dont know enough about skin-making myself.

One small bug-report:

When Im adding channels icons for the TV-EPG - something goes wrong with this skin.

Some icons display OK, bot some are distorded and end up on other places on the screen.

Strange thing is that they worked OK at first - but after a reinstall this happens.

The channel icons display OK with the original MP skin.

For anyone playing around with the v9.5 beta of TV Series, I've done a skin update; see here(follow the link):

Here's a skin file for SimpleMP Beta 3.

Haven't tried the custom Logo bit yet, so I guess it will need some re-work as the layout for this differs slightly to BlueTwo. I'll post once I've given it a go.
