[QUOTE="GaryMartynUK, post: 1041321, member: 125768"] [B][SIZE=7]Pulse8 - Theme for Titan[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=5]Overview[/SIZE][/B] Pulse8 is a theme for Titan which places a 4x2 grid of buttons on each screen allowing for more functions to be included and actually uses up less screen space thus showing more of the backdrop images. The skin incorporates a number of visual enhancements and features including... [LIST] [*]User configurable pulsating and colour changing button highlights [*]Optional background/fanart animation [*]Optional panel behind the BasicHome buttons (to separate them from the background) [*]Optional and configurable 'Latest recorded TV' overlay [*]Support for Rockstar and MPSteam on the main BasicHome screen [*]Full integration of ClearArt, ClearLogos and DiscArt for Music, MyVideos, Moving Pictures and TV Series [*]Full configuration options through MediaPortal front end [/LIST] There is a video in the files below which shows some of the animation/effects in action. [B]Note : [/B]If you would prefer this theme to have the traditional 3x2 button layout on the Basic Home screens, this is now available as [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/titan-pulse-hex-theme.122995/'][B]Pulse-Hex[/B][/URL] which can be found here [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/titan-pulse-hex-theme.122995/[/url] Pulse-Hex provides many of the same functions with the obvious exception of not being able to have as many buttons on the screen and thus not as many plug-ins can be supported on the home screens at once. [SIZE=5][B]Latest update in summary[/B][/SIZE] [B][COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]Update 17/12/13[/COLOR] - Version 2.0.0[/B] Major rework to include full support for [B]Clear Art, Clear Logos[/B] and [B]CD/Disc Art[/B] (You can download these by using MePoTools) - With an optional background panel and Clear Art/Logos on the 'Filmstrip' view for TV Series, Moving Picture and MyVideos New [B]darker 'now playing' overlay[/B] (the small bar top centre of the screen when you go back to the menu when you have a video/music playing) You can also [B]reveal the Fanart[/B] on the [B]Rockstar[/B] and [B]MyVideos[/B] plugins. Simply press 'left' on the details of a movie or the Rockstar screen and the details panel will disappear to reveal the fanart. There is also an updated patch to replace the Radio Button with HyperSpin for anyone using this.
