Skin Xtreme (Widescreen 16:9) **** 10/04/2018 - version 1.8.0.0 released **** (1 Viewer)

[Dallas]

Hi Guys. Sorry for taking a while to report back but I´ve been out of town.

I finaly got it working. It was as you said, the file was not associated with the installer. Once I followed the instructions it worked like a charm and I´m going to spend today exploring.

One thing I have noticed however is that when choosing Movies, TV Series etc the actual words increase in size and become brighter when I select them, except for TV. The TV selection just dissapears when I use either the mouse or remote control to move over it. It selects it OK and it works perfectly it´s just the words dissapear.

Thanks again for your help.

Had the same problem. It was a font issue, on page 11 on the thread there's a post from Marduk regarding this. I downloaded the new fonts and it worked. What is your default language?

Hi Kjarrig. My default language is English and I´ll go check out page 11. Thanks for the tip.

Dear Community,
I'm working very hard to the next release of the skin and this post is for sharing with you some previews to know what do you thing about it and to collect as much as possible comments, suggestions and, of course, critics.
As is clear from the general appearance of the skin (...and from screenshots attached to this post), I am not of the current of thinking that prefers a minimalistic look, but I try always to have as much as possible an impressive graphical approach. Sometimes my fear is that this could be a little bit excessive, so I wonder if some of you wants to share here their thinking about this point.
Below you can see some screenshots (all are fully working screens) of some new things I'm working now. The first three are related to the BasicHome with horizontal menù that I have anticipated some posts ago (do you like the new weatherclock very similar to the LG 3D widget ?), and the other ones are related to a fanart oriented layout selectable into the skin settings.
The Horizontal menù is in an "alpha status" because I have many ideas not yet implemented. For example the menù icons bar is not exactly what I want, and I'm thinking about what should be the best way to insert submenus (probably a textual bar under the main bar with the icons), overlays and latest added media.
Let me know what do you think about it (I do hope many of you wants to share their thinking and help me to improve the skin ).

Thanks and Ciao

Like your horizontal style, I always liked Mustayaluca because of the horizontal menu. Looking forward seeing your next version.

Hi,
Had the same problem as Dallas. Skin download just gave me a zip file, no mpe1 file.
Corrected the problem by renaming the extension .zip to .mpe1
(perhaps a browser problem. I'm using IE9 on Win7-32)
Hope will help someone having same problem.

Suggestion for next release :

- Horizontal menu +1
- Transparent in list view (clear fanart) so info only available in detail view when browse media
- For movingpictures, when hover media make it in center area so the upper and lower selected media are viewable like in tv shows+

can't wait for the new release
