[QUOTE="gibman, post: 173861, member: 25430"] Hi folks! I was looking for an easy way to change skins fast with the remote or keyboard. Why ? My HTPC is connected to 2 display devices. 1) projector 16:9 - I mainly use this at night. 2) a puny 4:3 tv screen 19" - Used for casual TV. Using the same skin for both screens is not good. One skin is optimized for 16:9 hi-res. The other larger fonts 4:3 etc. This is where the skinchanger plugin comes into action. unrar the archive. extract to "Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\Process" goto configuration, plugins - find it and enable it. It has no further settings. Now go to remote mapping. U can now map; SKIN NEXT SKIN PREVIOUS The same goes for keyboard shortcuts. It does what it says...it cycles through the skins that you currently have in ur skins folder :) Either taking the next avail. skin or the previous one. todo; maybe render some visual indication to the user with a msg like "changing skin to bla bla..plz wait". The plugin needs mediaportal SVN vers. #15625 make sure u have this. Also plugin sources are upped to SVN. Edit; New version attached. Fixed a problem when changing skin while video/tv is playing. This could lead to a lock up of mediaportal. Fixed a refresh/update problem occurring on some screens. ex. on TV (tve3) fullscreen some GUI elements were not cleared when changing skin. /Gibman [/QUOTE]
