Hi,

my channel logos are rounded too (I'm in NZ and no logos are installed for me!)...

There are some updated NZ TV logos for download which may suit you here.

Thanks anyway - I've already checked out all the logos @ Geekzone (the logos I'm using are from there); I just prefer the rounded ones

This is my first experience with this skin: absolutely fantastic effort. This will be it for a while.

I was very happy with my previous skin but would not install correctly after I upgraded to MP1.0.1. This installed seamlessly, even though I have custom folder locations.

A couple of queries:

I notice when I use the right navigation button (MCE remote) from the home screen, instead of defaulting to exit, it defaults to shutdown (unlike all other skins I have used). Even though it defaults to exit off the basic Home screen. Is there any way to amend this within my existing intall. Don't expect a fix just for one person.

Also, even though I do like black, it becomes somewhat tedious after a time. The reason I changed from Monochrome some time back. Are there provisions within the present skin to adjust to other colours using the *.xmls, or elsewhere.

PS. I'm not conversant with coding of any variant.

OK. Make it three:

Can one install custom pictures on the basic home screen without major amendments. I have a real preference for customising anything possible to sci-fi.

You customize the backdrops in the different folders found under:
skins\SteamedMP\Media\Animations
You will see there is different folders for different menu items.

mmm, my basichome, generated by the menu editor, does indeed default to exit. Strange that yours default to shutdown.

My basichome does default to exit. It's the other screen that defaults to shutdown is the one I want to adjust.

Found it.

Edit myHome.xml and change line 49 from

<onright>10</onright>

to

<onright>14</onright>

Jeez rekenaar,

You got nothing better to do than help find small code adjustments

You're a champ. Can't believe no-one's never asked for that before. It's definitely worth a thanks.

I don't know if this is more of a mediaportal or skin issue, but when I download artist images for mymusic using audioscrobbler, many of the downloaded images have wrong aspect ratio. Currently the skin stretches them to fit the whole image area. Is it possible to change this so that original aspect ratio is always kept and no stretching done (or then perhaps the image could be croppped).

Looking at these stretched images makes me wanna vomit.. It's like watching 4:3 content stretched on a widescreen TV. Some people don't even notice the difference, but I can't watch it without my eyes bleeding.

you can put this in the xml file in the image control:
<keepaspectratio>yes</keepaspectratio>

Thanks a lot! I even managed to find ready made xml-files after figuring out the right search word ("keepaspectratio" is not mentioned in too many threads)
