[kiwijunglist]

ATTENTION:
WORKING ON SOME FIXES + UPGRADES FOR MP1.4 WHEN I HAVE TIME.AT THE MOMENT THE SKIN HAS PROBLEMS SO WILL UPLOAD A NEW VERSION ONCE EVERYTHING IS FIXED AND STABLE.
SORRY

Description:
Red Zerbra's Dull Gold theme, with my own set of gold buttons, some extra missing pngs, modified a little with a blinged out homescreen + animations in background and foreground.
Extended gold theme supports basic home editor.
Can be easily updated after any titan or titan extended updates by running the installer again.

Installation:
If you want to install extended edition backup your extended folder (see below)
There is no need to backup anything if you are installing the standard theme
Run Install Kiwi Gold Theme (or) Install Gold Extended Theme
Choose default backgrounds = none (Settings Menu)

Requirements:
Mediaportal 1.3 or Mediaportal 1.4

Spoiler

Backing up extended theme folder:
The gold extended theme overwrites the default files in the titan extended theme folder.
It is recommended that you backup this folder before installing the gold extended theme.
Click Start -> All Programs -> Team Mediaportal -> Mediaportal -> User Files
Navigate to \Mediaportal\Skins\Titan\Themes
Backup the Extended folder to a safe place.
You don't need to do this with the kiwi gold (non extended) theme

Menu Editor:
Close Mediaportal before using the editor
Run TitanEdit.exe to edit the extended theme, there is no basic home editor yet.
Important - Choose extended style on the first screen, otherwise your changes will not take effect.

Updates:
If titan updates you can rerun either installer to update the theme

Showing animated clouds + animated city lights

very cool what you could get from the skin engine so you can also animate the raindrops?

yes but with more difficulty . would need about10 sliding animations and because there is not enough space below the window you would have to divide the window in half which means 20 sliding animations. Or you could use an animated gif overlay perhaps.

<type>videowindow</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>830</posX>
<posY>152</posY>
<width>514</width>

@ncoH - This is what I'm trying to do by placing an image over the top of now playing video overlay

Im no skinner but I think you can do it by edit the backdrop in PS with a transparent tv screen. Then display the backdrop on top of your video overlay. Theres probably an easier way
