Excellent skin, very nice!

Any way to implement a horizontal menu like this?

No I'm sorry, that's not planned..

hi Powermarcel10,
Really liking your theme! good job!
For some reason i don't have the trailer button anymore in the detail view of moving pictures. In the right side menu i can open it so it is there but the button just isn't.

Any idea how i can enable it ?

Thanks,
Rik

You need to install the trailers plugin like ltfearme said.. I will try to add compatability too for the feault trailer solution..

looks great!
Have you thougt about different colours in Titanius?
Actually I use a "giold brushed" Titan Theme.
This one:

It would be nice to see something like this here ;-)

Yeah, would been nice.. But I'm personally not such an hero with adobe to recolor the skinfiles.. But I will see if I can get more colors to TITANIUS in the future..

I don't think that this is necessary. Within the thread that I have linked to, there is an installer that creates the "dull gold theme" with a batchfile out of the original Titan files. Perhaps you can use a similar mechanism

Looks very nice! Thank you. Maybe you will add the Option to show Moving Picture Fanart while the TV Section is "active"?
I know there is a way to change the XML File but an Option in the Settings would be very comfortable.

Thanks!!!

Just for fun, try this:

1. Make a copy of the Titanius folder in your TITAN/Themes folder and call it Titanius Horizontal
2. Drag the Media folder and all of the .xml files except theme.xml from your "BasicHome goes Classic with Backdrops" (or what you've named it) folder into the Titanius Horizontal folder
3. Profit

Nice skin Very much like it.

Noticed couple of things..
- when you do not have RadioTime installed, normal Radio (i.e. NOT RadioTime, just plain Radio) submenu item in the Music title is not selectable

- there doesn't seem to be a backdrop loading for Weather when hovering on the tile


- not sure if this one is already mentioned but MovingPictures sub menu contains links to online videos youtube? Also to Videos (if you don't use Video module it feels a little redundant)


- there is an issue with the Movie Release date label? (Could be something to do with my database I suppose but I suspect more likely the changes to MovPic fields for dates). Also, why is the 'Technical Details' renamed to 'Status Details'?


- How do I rename the tiles? Just there shouldn't be an apostrophe in Online Video's ('s denotes ownership, not multiples)


- Info Service tile text is not in English.


- Would it be possible to add in a label in the MovingPictures detail view that shows the Database add date along with the Movie Release date and also the plot Keyworks? - Much like this here by Rochess.


- One final thing, the new Now Playing with the buttons, I like this but it looks like the area used for displaying the media image is not in the correct ratio. For instance when I am playing music, I have a back drop either in 1920x1080 or 1280x720, when Now Playing is displayed, the fan art looks squashed vertically (i.e. peoples head look short and fat!) maybe it is possible to adjust this or maybe it's that way to fit all the controls on.


Again, I like this skin and currently using it these are my opinions / bug reports so please take them as that Looking forward to see what the Titan Editor integrations brings!

Thanks!

Hi Marcel, fast update!

Most things on the list are fixed. I think the Now Playing overlay looks fine that size and the aspect ratio looks much better. I also love how the weather backdrops match the current weather, nice touch not seen that before

I do have a few more issues though..

- You killed moving pictures lol (I may have got these pictures mixed up but I guess you'll know what view it is I'm talking about by viewing the images). If you enter in through submenu 'Catagory List' then hit 'All Movies' I am present with this screen and you can not navigate anywhere except to go back


If you enter in through submenu 'Films' you see this screen..


If you move around a little in the list it comes better, but there is still a strange label in the upper right of the screen


I still have labels showing in the 'Status Details' view.. I thought I had installed the latest MovPics though, is this something on my side?


Grabbed this screen too, another messed up view, not sure how I entered in to get this one up


- Latest Added MovingPictures seems broken for me


- Worldweather Lite doesn't have the 'Latest Added' tile overlay like what you show in your skin description.. Is that only available with full World Weather?


- If you navigate to this settings menu option shown in the screenshot, then press 'Right' it doesn't move focus to the option on the right and navigation gets a little messed up


- In OnlineVideos, the sites have a transparent image on the left. When an image is associated with the selected media file, this image is shown behind the sites logo which is fine.. But when there is no image associated with the selected item, it appears to display a default image behind the logo which looks like a white square as shown in the screen shot below. I think maybe this would look better if the default image was nothing, i.e. totally transparent without that white box as it interferes with the site logo?


- When you have the NowPlaying overlay displayed on the homescreen and you navigate to the 'Stop' button on the overlay and stop media playback, the NowPlaying overlay disappears and nothing is left in focus (i.e. you have to press 'Down' to focus on a tile). Could the focus move down automatically to a tile when you press stop? (Just so the user can see where the cursor is).


- This one is totally personal preference and if it is a design you like then please ignore this and I will live with it But would it be possible to have a settings option to turn off the genre images (like default Titan). I've never really thought these image styles 'fit' with Titans look and feel.


That's about all I have spotted so far. I'm not a big fan of clearart so I haven't checked any of that. I did notice though you have a different design for the OnlineVideos view when navigating around files than what comes with Titan default, I much prefer yours
I think this might become my number one skin. Really like it, sorry for giving you another big list of work to do!

Thanks!

EDIT: I think the MovPics issues is because I'm not using 1.6 beta. Just realised the latest version is not on the Extensions Installer and has to be downloaded from the forum thread. Will retest when I've fixed the problem stopping MePo from loading ever since I installed it :/

 

[powermarcel10]

Thanks a lot for the bugreport again.. And no problem, bugs need to be fixed! And I like the way you report them.

First about all problems regarding to MovingPictures.. I think there is something wrong with your installation.. Please try to re-install the latest version that is released today, and let me know if your problems are solved.. If not, please delete the entire mod, install it again, clear your skincache, and see if it helps..

- Worldweather Lite doesn't have the 'Latest Added' tile overlay like what you show in your skin description.. Is that only available with full World Weather?

Should be easy to fix.

- If you navigate to this settings menu option shown in the screenshot, then press 'Right' it doesn't move focus to the option on the right and navigation gets a little messed up

Will see what's going wrong there..

- In OnlineVideos, the sites have a transparent image on the left. When an image is associated with the selected media file, this image is shown behind the sites logo which is fine.. But when there is no image associated with the selected item, it appears to display a default image behind the logo which looks like a white square as shown in the screen shot below. I think maybe this would look better if the default image was nothing, i.e. totally transparent without that white box as it interferes with the site logo?

Didn't noticed that before.. Will see what the problem is!

- When you have the NowPlaying overlay displayed on the homescreen and you navigate to the 'Stop' button on the overlay and stop media playback, the NowPlaying overlay disappears and nothing is left in focus (i.e. you have to press 'Down' to focus on a tile). Could the focus move down automatically to a tile when you press stop? (Just so the user can see where the cursor is).

Well, that's a hard one.. The defaultcontrol in basichome is allready set to ID 4, wich is the tv button.. However, when it looses focus, it doesn't spring back to it again.. I will see if there is a solution.

- This one is totally personal preference and if it is a design you like then please ignore this and I will live with it But would it be possible to have a settings option to turn off the genre images (like default Titan). I've never really thought these image styles 'fit' with Titans look and feel.

Shure, let me see if I can include that as an option..

Cheers!
