Hey, congratulations on this skin. This is really looking beautiful so far man!!! I might have a 2nd favorite already by looking at it. Looking forward to monitoring this thread in the future. Great job!! Smile


re - Malexx - 2010-05-17

Really like your skin,great work.
Iam using now 16x9 View for Movies.
Only thing iam missing are the media flags.
Its a little confusing to go into the Info screen just to see if movie is HD etc ..
Is there an easy way to show mediaflags on bottom of screen?

The Option to choose Landscape.jpg is superb.
Every skin should have this.
An option for Banners as well would be even more perfect Wink
keep up the work,the skin is great!


- hikaricore - 2010-05-17

Most other views support media flags, imho they would just clutter up 16x9.
If he would even consider this I'd hope that it's as an option only.


re - Malexx - 2010-05-17

Your right in this point.
An Option would be good.
At the other hand,instead of the Studio in the upper right,it would be more informativ to see which Format the movie is.

Just trying to do it myself,so maybe it could be a mod.

16x9 barely made the cut, I was always on the fence about that view...Sometime I like it, sometimes I didn't. But I thought since people can disable views might as well keep it. I'd still like to tweak that view a little more.

Might as well throw flags in, all views have the option to disable flags so that one wouldn't be any different...

I really don't like banners so doubt it come from my end. Artistically I don't like them and design-wise their ratio just never fits well...

I'm not the best to ask about music but I don't think it behaves like Movies/TV and automatically takes you to fullscreen playback..I always have to hit 'TAB'

I wasn't a fan of the big X marking a movie as watched, so I made this marker if anyone else wants to use it.

Just replace the image in C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\skin\Night\media\dialogs\movies.

Now to figure out what to do with the TV marker... I have a feeling this one involves coding.

Sorry about the late reply, been a few days since I've been on. (Too much time spent on getting my videos ready with EMM)

Anyways, I got AMT (Lite) on the home screen with the following:

<item id="5">
<label>Movie Trailers</label>
<icon>C:\Users\Monkey\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\skin\Night\media\backgrounds\amt.jpg</icon>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(10025,plugin://video/Apple Movie Trailers Lite/)</onclick>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(nomovies)</visible>
</item>

That's what I ended up using for AMT. Works perfectly

Now they just need to implement a program starter so I can have XBMC open ComicRack for me.. Smile

Forgive me if i'm missing something obvious, but i don't appear to be getting any kind of "mark" on my tv episodes and movies that indicates they're watched. I've tried marking episodes as watched and unwatched and i don't seem to see any visual difference. Is there something i need to download in addition to the skin pack to make this work? Or is this something that just hasn't been added to the skin yet? A check-mark (like in confluence) or even a dimming of the episode text would be good to mark where i am in a series.


- ppic - 2010-05-19

check in tvshow skin option to verify they are enabled


- Ryoga79 - 2010-05-19

That worked. I knew it was probably something simple that i overlooked. Thanks!
