I am running it on my MacBook with 4Gb and its running very nicely indeed, just installed it on my ATV2 and it seems to be okay on there also to be honest. Probably the fastest skin I have installed, and definitely running smooth even on the ATV2. - liquidskin76 - 2011-05-25 DazNoonan Wrote:Just a quick thing I have noticed... Hey Daz, That's how Welo designed it. I'll have a think later on! Cheers - DazNoonan - 2011-05-25 liquidskin76 Wrote:Hey Daz,I see mate, thats no problem... I personally think it will look better if the stars light up white for the rating though. What do you think about it? Also when Hitcher posted a screen a few posts back it looked how I was expecting it would so maybe its a bug? Or if we do want it to light up in black then it would still look better coming from the left I think rather than the right? - esprit - 2011-05-25 DazNoonan Wrote:Seriously?

Should be an onup command. I've sorted. sialivi Wrote:[Consistency] Agreed! I've changed this. sialivi Wrote:[Shutdown Menu] Shutdown options are on a sub menu off the main menu, so up when on the shutdown main menu option. sialivi Wrote:[Missing Setting] I didn't do a 'Hide Settings' option as it can cause all sorts of confusion when gone! Maybe i should add one? sialivi Wrote:[Scrolling Text] I'll check it out. sialivi Wrote:[On-screen Keyboard] That's part of the incomplete stuff (see list in main post)! Will be sorted for the beta. sialivi Wrote:[Videos Section] It's missing the default art however i was never going to go to town on the video section. How is it not working? sialivi Wrote:[Missing Arrows] I'll check this out. Cheers for all your feedback. - meridius - 2011-05-25 another couple of faults i found is with the tv shows logos, when my tv shows are labeld web-dl they still show up as hdtv in welo but as there not hdtv the skin should look for the name of the file to see if it has web-dl and display a logo for that also the scrolling of the text is way to fast to read on the info of a tv and movie - liquidskin76 - 2011-05-25 Hitcher Wrote:The Music > Tracks animation only works once but I had it working in the initial release. Yeah, got that already. Will be sorted for beta. Hitcher Wrote:No Stars, Runtimes, etc for Lists anymore They will be back! Forgot to mention that one. I'll update the main post. Hitcher Wrote:Also the Wall has lost it's focused border and changed from the original design Got that one already as well! Lost it when i was playing arround with poster frames. It will be sorted for the beta. Cheers Hitcher. - DazNoonan - 2011-05-25 liquidskin76 Wrote:I didn't do a 'Hide Settings' option as it can cause all sorts of confusion when gone! Maybe i should add one?Personally I don't think you should add one either as it can cause issues if you select it, there is no hard in having settings along the top to be honest as its something almost everyone will always need. - liquidskin76 - 2011-05-25 Hey krish, krish_2k4 Wrote:- in the movies section, some movies are missing the resolution icon there is "1080", "720", "480" but is missing "540" or it does not show up. I'll check that one out. krish_2k4 Wrote:I like the Apps section but is it possible to have "video addons" included in this section? I believe the videos, music, etc add-ons are separate to the program add-ons? You can quickly access from the videos and music sub menus. I'll add 'video add-ons' to the movies sub menus as well. Cheers. - liquidskin76 - 2011-05-25 esprit Wrote:Wow, that is a really nice skin ! Hey esprit, I'll have a look at the title/year overlap. Thanks Regarding a french translation, can you pm me a reminder. A translation later on (closer to release) would be great! Regarding display options, press up if in poster view, or left if in list/wall view. This will take you to the main menu. Then press up to access submenu.

Maybe i should add one? Most skins have Shutdown Menus with both the Shutdown Options and a link to the Settings. This way you can hide both the Shutdown and Settings but still have access to both when needed. I personally don't trust my computer illiterate GF or drunken friends not to mess up my settings when I'm not in control of the remote liquidskin76 Wrote:It's missing the default art however i was never going to go to town on the video section. How is it not working? In all other skins when I go to the Videos section I have access to all my Video sources: Movies, TV, Music Videos, Locally Stored Trailers, Home Videos, Misc, etc. In Welo this section is just blank, there's nothing there, and the only navigation key that does anything is "Back". Edit: Actually, the first time I tried the skin the Videos link took me to TV Shows, but after navigating away from there it only took me to the blank section from then on. Pressing "Up" on Videos on the Home Screen and selecting Files also takes me to the blank section. Edit: Turns out this blank screen can be reached in TV-Shows/Files and Movies/Files as well. I need to reset all Welo settings to describe the steps for this bug. How do I do that? Deleted all welo references in guisettings.xml and in ViewModes4.db but that didn't totally reset the skin. - liquidskin76 - 2011-05-25 DazNoonan Wrote:When opening up XBMC and the scanning library is taking place and being displayed at the top, any notifications (such as the Trakt one) overlays this so its looks a mess. Can it be changed so they would show next to each other? This is not a request, I am assuming its a bug? Ah, of course! That's a design bug. I'll take a look. Cheers - liquidskin76 - 2011-05-25 meridius Wrote:I agree hitchers version was better, i love the work you have done to the skin but why did you remove these options and alos made it look more blue than gray now ? I hope you add the options back as it looked much more polished than your version. Don't worry, the stars, etc on the lists will be back. I've updated the main post. Regarding middle section colour, that's prob a design mistake from when i worked on the backgrounds. There's two version in Welo's mockups. I expect i used the wrong colour tint. I'll sort. meridius Wrote:also what happend to some of the different views on the home screen ? not liking the thumb nail for tv shows should add an option to look more like the movies part. What different views on the home screen? There was only ever poster view for Movies recent/random, landscape for TV recent/random, and double album for Music recent/random. meridius Wrote:the skin seems to not be as smooth at running to very jerky and scrolling is not very smooth of posters i am running this on a i5 2.8 with 8 gig of ram on windows 7 and its not smooth at all. Not sure why it's not smooth on your system. I developed on an i7 and it's fine. Also tested on an i3 (my htpc) and it's fine. And DazNoon has comfirmed good performance on ATV2. Sorry it hasn't lived up to your expectation however it's an alpha. I haven't removed any views, made one mistake on the middle colour section, and like i said, performance is fine on my i7/i3 and an ATV2. I want bug reports, not criticism because you think i've messed up. The skin isn't finished yet. [EDIT:] Just read your later post. Glad the performance issues are sorted. - liquidskin76 - 2011-05-25 sialivi Wrote:In all other skins when I go to the Videos section I have access to all my Video sources: Movies, TV, Music Videos, Locally Stored Trailers, Home Videos, Misc, etc. Really strange. All appears to be working fine at my end. Are you running Dharma/Dharma 10.1, or a nightly? Thanks |
