    Is it possible to remove the clock from the top menu that drops down? If you bring it up when you're on any of the start pages, you have the clock visible anyway and (at least on my tv) they don't align, so you can't really see the time anyway.

    Oh, I just remembered, since this version of you skin the clock is visible at all pages, right?

    When using this skin I get a blank screen after the MP splash screen.

    BlueTwoWide does not have the same issue.

    I've had this in the past when having the weather overlay plugin enabled (it seems that it can't be with the new SVNs....it keeps reverting to disabled when you go back into setup) and no overlay XML. Even though the overlay plugin is not enabled I tried copying the XML from BlueTwoWide, but same result.

    I was using an SVN from about a week ago. I have since updated but still the same issue.

    Is there something in the setup that i'm missing?


    Just did a clean install of 0.2.2.0 and svn 12919 with the same result. The only "extra" I'm running is the MCE replacement plugin (only using the blaster part, not the driver).




    Thanks.

    Some people had this problem with my two other skins also. It has been solved by delete the contents of the fonts folder placed in the SpinSafe Revolve folder.
    Thanks for that. I'll give it a go tonight when I get home.
    Sorry for the late reply...got side tracked this past week. Anyway, deleting the contects of the FONTS folder did allow the skin to display. However, the skin runs very very slow.

    I'm running a Core2Duo E6400 with 2GB 677MHz RAM on an Intel 965G chipset (I'm using the onboard GMA3000 graphics).

    So, for now it's back to Blue Two Wide

    If anyone has some performance tips please pass them on.

    Thanks.

    PS...just saw that there is a new version...will give this a go shortly.

    UPDATE

    Hallo.

    I have just uploaded a new version of this skin.
    In this version i have implimented Frodos new eye candy, thumbs with reflections on the floor in the filmstrip view. ( see picture down below )
    I have also reworked the basic home screen spin animation, so it now spin mutch better. Still some positions might need some adjustments, but its now working better then the last version that where terrible.

    Let me know what you think, is the new animated basic home sceen better than the old static home screen?

    Hey how do I setup my movie covers to appear as icons and large icons. When I select filmstrip you can see the cover art, however when I select icons and large icons I cannot see them.

    What do I need to do.

    Btw this skin is awesome, keep up the great work.

    Does this ony hapen when using this skin ? Does it work in BlueTwo?
    There where some problem like this in the begining of the development of the orginal SpinSafe skin, maybe this bug have resurface again. Here it workes without problem.
    Is there more that have this problem with covers that does not show?
