The new default skin (1 Viewer)

[WildW]

So what happened? I haven't reinstalled MediaPortal since 1.0, but I changed hardware and needed to reinstall, only to find the default skin has changed to . . . well. . . rubbish. My main issue is that where before I used to get most of the screen width used to display item titles, half of the screen width is now thrown away on non-existant metadata, and all the menus are shrunk into a little space. .. can't see episode titles. It's not like I'm running at a small resolution either, I have 1920 pixels across.

Okay, so I only posted this to moan I suppose . . . it just seems like such a backwards step, when the old standard skin was all I ever wanted. I could read entire filenames

Many people arent very fond of the new defult skin, all I can suggest is to check out the skins section to see if there is something you like.

Hi WildW

Are you using the wide or 4:3 version of the default skin there?

Hmm, not using tvseries plugin, that would give you pretty graphics and summary, none of which is seen using my video's

2 must have plugins TVSeries\MovingPictures, even if you do not want to use the skin, install StreamedMP, this installs all the main plugins for you, any further questions, just ask.
