The follow up skin for mce [update: 16/1-05] (1 Viewer)

My wife and me, we like it also. But I think the icons on the home screen and the buttons there are too big. They should be smaller.

Great update. Love it.

I dont think the color in the TV guide are to dark, but the font is too small.

- Agree with the others, for what is a bright overall theme the TV guide is a bit dark - the black text in the EPG doesn't help either

- Liking the new menu more, except that there is either one too many or one too few items in the menu - there is no middle button, it's always lopsided

I agree too, that the EPG color black is very hard to read on my 25" TV. White is actually better.

Thanks for the feedback all, I will look into this.

Yes, the reason why I have not done anything with them so far is because I have not decided exactly on the final look for them.

May I suggest soem subtle animation in the background, maybe only on the home screen.

By subltle I mean things like have the lines on the homescreen (as in before you changed the home screen) wave slowley, or have a very subtle animation of clouds going across the screen (similar to that wmp10 animation thingy) but blended with the blue of the background.

So, I realize this will probably needed to be coded (or doesnt it?) a workaround for this might be to have the animation as a video file and simply loop it when on the homemenu (and using the vmr9 see through thingy). Users could simply deactivate it if they feel it takes too much cpu.

btw, I prefered the home menu the way it was before you changed it.

Lastly let me say great work
keep it up

Animation can work allready.
Look @ harleys x-mas skin.

It had snow falling in Home..

hi,

i wouldt make animations in the homescreen in my new skin for the hovers, but it doesn´t go.

MP can only show png for the hovers.
Hover´s as gif don´t working.

because we have no *.xml where we can change the Filetyp for hover´s from png to gif

for all other gfx gif´s are also working

Greetings Harley
