Sorry mate, but there are a couple of other points as well...

The small version of the shutdown menu icons are quite pixelated...and the restart button looks a little squashed!

Also, is there anyway to map the shutdown menu to the menu button on my remote in the home page...just like in PM3?

If I can be a little forward...for me there are a couple of things that let it down ever so slightly.

1) The musical note icon is a lot weaker than some of the other icons...it's just bleh imo. What would be nice is a version of the itunes icon, and would keep in with the who apple theme.

2) When you have started some music, the current track in the list turns blue. However, that blue is VERY difficult to read, no matter what theme colour you try. I would suggest another colour for the current track, or maybe a better blue...it's just very difficult to read.

3) When browsing a lot of icons, the theme can be a little laggy...not sure if there anyway to speed that up. For example, when i go into my pictures and look at all my lovely icons...I can choose a slideshow, then back out to my icons, and they all have to refresh again!

THATS IT!

I love the skin...think it's great and cant wait to get those things amended to make it my default...I love it!

Thanks

1) I can't change the note cause it is supposed to look like the one in apple tv.

2) Good possibility, I will just wait for the new way of changing fonts colors to be released in the next T3CH to mess with it

3) Nothing I can do about that

The large icons are just the small ones zoomed, so I don't see why the smaller ones look pixelated to you. And the keymap.xml is not skin specific, if the menu button does it in PM3 it should do it in xTV or any other skin as well.

On a lighter note:
I organized the system window today and added the ability to download themes for the skin, from the skin.

And here is the script dialog. It will automatically install the themes into the media folder so all you have to do is apply them.

I would like to thank Donno for letting me rip off the script from MC360, edit it and use it for xTV.

P.S. The link in my sig is updated so you can get it from there

I got it with previous versions of the skin, butI'm not able to have it back now.

TIA

Bumping, any advice?

CHI3f, you just keep getting better and better. Thanks for the reply, and I understand there may be some limitations...thats cool!

gaogao, from the includes.xml:


<include name="background">
<control type="visualisation">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>720</width>
<height>576</height>
<visible>!Player.HasMedia(startup.wav)</visible>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(back-vis)</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
<description>background</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>720</width>
<height>576</height>
<texture>background.png</texture>
<visible>!Skin.String(custom-background)</visible>
<visible>!Player.HasAudio</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
<description>custom background</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>720</width>
<height>576</height>
<info>Skin.String(custom-background)</info>
<visible>!Player.HasAudio</visible>
</control>

<control type="image">
<description>background</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>720</width>
<height>576</height>
<texture>background.png</texture>
<colordiffuse>D1FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
<visible>!Skin.String(custom-background)</visible>
<visible>Player.HasAudio</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
<description>custom background</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>720</width>
<height>576</height>
<info>Skin.String(custom-background)</info>
<colordiffuse>D1FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
<visible>Player.HasAudio</visible>
</control>
</include>

if you remove the:

<visible>!Player.HasMedia(startup.wav)</visible>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(back-vis)</visible>

it will ALWAYS give you a background visualzation.

but simply setting back-vis to false should make it work too, (unless the file is named startup.wav)

I don't like the background set that way so I don't know if its a problem or not, but if you are setting the skin settings to display it, and it's not, then it could have something to do with it being drawn on the screen first, then the background covering it up (from the looks of the code anyway)

if so put the :
<control type="visualisation">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>720</width>
<height>576</height>
<visible>!Player.HasMedia(startup.wav)</visible>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(back-vis)</visible>
</control>

last, right before the final </include>

I think I am all caught up now, finally.

I added the xmls for the smart playlist stuff today and also fixed the music osd lyrics button to open the XBMC Lyrics script that comes with the T3CH releases now and added the skin xmls for it.

looking good mate. There was one issue I had with information being squashed over itself on the right hand side of the window, but as I am writing this I am at work and cannot remember where it was.

When I return home I will retest and document where the issue lies.

- MikeBeecham - 2007-05-24 13:19

I went back in last night and, whilst I didnt test it all thoroughly, I can tell you that the Skin Settings window is all squashed together on the right-hand side. I DO understand this is a beta, I just would have thought positioning would have been high up on the list.

Still, it's looking good so far, and I'm looking forward to it being my default when it's all together.

- MikeBeecham - 2007-05-24 13:31
