I get you now. I never realised that it allowed you to change these in the appearance settings.

Try this one... the defaults aren't broken as in the first one I posted:

I refuse to do the brown theme though... It's too ugly.

Yeah I was bored at work and just stumbled across it while reading the wiki.

In fairness I only use Blue and Orange.

What does anyone else think. Any colour requests?

@ qualar

I made some minor changes to the dimensions of the movie title and year label tags.

The changes resolve issues when a movie has a particularly long title that extends over another part of the screen.

The views I changed include 'List View', 'Info List', 'Wide Icon', 'Wrap Info' and also the bottom Info Pane for all views including the Wannabegt4's Wall View to prevent the movie title from overlapping the media flags.

Rather than listing all the minor changes here if you like I can PM you the complete changes from the various XML files. I've added comments you can delete indicating where I made the adjustments.


the Rapier Qualar Mod is much greatest happy-time skin - taycrowe - 2009-11-28 09:40

Hey....i haven't posted here before, but i've been combing through the XBMC forum and wiki for a long time. I just wanted to say thanks to scarfa, Sranshaft, qualar, saangler and everyone who have spent hours of their own free time perfecting the Rapier skin and it's mods, sharing ideas and ESPECIALLY sharing the finished product with us.
I'm glad to see that you guys are working together whenever a new good idea comes up, which helps make the skin that much stronger. (Personally, i don't see any room for improvement, but i've been happily surprised a few times so far).
No requests(yet..haha). I just wanted to post my thanks to all of you.

Hi Qualar,

With your suggestions I altered the xml so it suits better to my needs, her are some screenshots:

changed:
- no fanart in background
- trailer starts fullscreen when pressing down

- no background at the sides
- theater button to start HTE instead of trailer button.

Thanks again for this great MOD and your suppport.

Revned is there any chance you could post the modded XML files please.

I would love to have this feature. Smile

qualar,

I've been playing around with your skin for about a week now & its about time i told you, the work you are doing on it is nothing short of excellent. i am really getting to like it. thanks!!

just a quick point.
have downloaded Version 2.5.7 twice (to make sure there wasn't a corrupt download) and still getting this error:
in \Rapier Qualar Mod\media\flagging\Studios there are 70 files that refuse to FTP to the XBOX - on checking on them - they seem to have non-compliant xbox characters for example: 'Arte France Cin+´+¢ma.png'
are these files necessary?

btw - i like the orange & blue color schemes best.
keep up the great work!
