Great work, here are text errors in swedish in the main menu if you're interested.

is the "now playing" part of the skin messed up for anyone else with the recent nightly build (3rd August)?

it goes completely missing, shows up in the settings section and it says "now playing" in the fanart part in the movies section (overlays the fanart).

edit: i'll post screenshots later if anyone wants to see the bugs.

Hey Tobby,

At the moment all translations are being pulled from the general XBMC language xml's.

I'll put a call out for custom translations before release.

Thanks

I had that problem. First time testing Welo though, so hadn't seen it work ever. Just had posted screens earlier without explanations since there were quite a few things (which I imagined/hoped was from the recent Nightly).

Thanks again for the great work, liquidskin76!!

Not quite sure what version this is.
I installed v1.5 from zip file and never used repo.

Thanks for your reply!

I don't know if that's a 10.1 build or a nightly build? I would make sure you're on a nightly build (check forum for upgrade instructions? Blush

) and start using the repo versions.

Cheers Wink

I've only tested on the July 10th nightly build, and all's good.

I'll give the most recent (4th Aug) a go now.

Cheers

jcarmi04 Wrote:i saw Welo on youtube two days ago, read through the old Welo/Hitcher stuff (GREAT WORK BOTH!) and have went through both pre-alpha and alpha with liquidskin76 (and Hitcher). first, THANK YOU for continuing this! amazing, AMAZING skin. a little too buggy for me now, but this thing will rock my/XBMC's world when in beta and complete.

...needless to say, ive read a lot of posts in the past couple of days and cant remember if these bugs have come up. (i can clarify screens if you would like)...using latest nightbuild (which meant i had to uninstall dharma, 'tear')

*im not a hat-in-hand kinda guy though, so let me know if i can help out in any way!!!

Hey jcarmi04,

There may be problems with the most recent nightlies. I'm checking it now...

Cheers

Ok, Welo on August 3rd and 4th build is bad. July 30th build is good though.

[EDIT:] August 2nd build is good.

[EDIT:] Hang on...!

[EDIT:] Yep, as far as i can see Aug 2nd is good.

Hey jcarmi04,

Can you try the Aug 2nd nightly and let me know if any of those bugs are still there.

Thanks

[EDIT:] version 0.2.0 (alpha 2) should be pretty much bug free at this stage of development. bear in mind though that it is still missing some incomplete parts, like the keyboards (one of your screens). cheers

liquidskin76,

Just a reminder of a few minor things I've reported in the past that aren't fixed yet:

[Missing Setting]
A "Hide Settings" option in the settings.

[Folder Shadow]
When browsing Pictures the shadow is the same for folders and pictures. This looks very weird for the folders since the shadow doesn't match it at all. Maybe a folder looking background image could be added behind the 4 thumbnails?

[Music Videos - Missing Artist Name]
The artist name is nowhere to be seen on the Music Videos screen. I would suggest changing the List from showing "<title>" to "<artist> - <title>".
