TITANIUS 1.7.0.0 (18-07-2015) Now with a fresh new look! (2 Viewers)

Hi,

Some comments about the implementation of WorldWeather:

• The opening view is always like in the attached picture.
  • Can this be changed so that when entering the Weather section you are in the Media view?
  • At least here it is not remembering the last chosen view.
• Layout suggestions
  • The section "Actual" (or maybe "Current" in English) is showing the current conditions as text. The lunar phase displays as a horizontally scolling text. It could be an interesting alternative to use the associated weather icon for the moon instead.
  • The right section is not ergonomic. The arrows indicate the reading flow where the eye jumps from top left to the next - which is the middle, i.e. the third element in the logical flow. Then only will you move to the right, if at all, as some people will go to the next line then. An alternative layout could display this as five horizontal tiles, one above the other.

Is this skin still actively supported? I'm thinking about reinstalling this on my 1.10 install. I noticed that all of the main posts' screenshots are now dead links, and there's no mention of 1.10 or greater.

Thanks!

It hasn't had an update for a while but it works with the latest versions of MePo. I'm sure if something broke he'd be fixing it straight away - it works fine as is though so see lack of activity as only 'no new features' for a while. Still my only skin on all my machines

Thanks for the quick response, TheBatFink - I appreciate it! I'll give it a shot then.

Feature / Guidance Request

The program guide content window is showing only three lines of text. Longer program descriptions are scrolling forever until you have finally read everything. IMHO there is room to add a fourth line of text (see red arrow), however, I have no clue where I would need to look for among all those files.

With respect to my posting above:

Scrolling of the text starts after a relativly long time, which is currently not configurable. The user reads the three lines of text and then has to wait reaaaally long.

From what I understand about the search engine there is a variable where the delay is set before the dialogue begins to scroll. I looked for it in the various xmls,but couldn't find it. Any idea where the delay is defined in Titanius?

Set your scrolling time in mediaportal config

Set your scrolling time in mediaportal config

Unfortunately this setting is not impacting the scrolling delay in the TV guide.

 

[wizard123]

then change the control for description to this:

<control>
<description>Description1</description>
<type>textboxscrollup</type>
<id>15</id>
<posX>880</posX>
<posY>252</posY>
<width>925</width>
<height>110</height>
<font>TitanLight12</font>
<label>#TV.Guide.Description</label>
<textcolor>ffffff</textcolor>
<scrollStartDelaySec>2</scrollStartDelaySec>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
</control>

@wizard123 ,

Thank you for the information - scrollStartDelay is indeed the name of the variable that I mentioned above. However,my posting was more directed to @powermarcel10 , who is the owner of the skin. I have no idea in which one of the hundred files I would need to look for the suggested changes. I had run fulltext searches without success before.
