thx.



Phil, is there a workaround to get the old fonts after getting the skin from the repo (by overwriting files manually)?

With this way, Aeon could get into the official repo and also the old font could be still used (, by users which prefer that).


Greetz,

again, every change you see will be optional (and the positioning isn´t completely ready yet)

IceNine Wrote:I'm liking the new branch, although I can't say I'm using it just yet for my primary skin (still using the older master branch until the new font rework gets merged). I have found the cause of a little glitch I have been having for a while now and finally sat down and figured it out. It happens in both the master and font_rework branches, and only seems to happen when using DDS compression. I tried on a fresh install without DDS and it doesn't seem to happen.

The glitch is that on List view (which I use for TV shows), the main "poster" for a show will always render on top of whatever else is supposed to be there. I know the poster image is being pulled correctly somewhat, because when I change seasons for a show, the reflection on the bottom will change, but the main poster does not.

I found out that if I change

Code:

$INFO[ListItem.path,,poster.jpg]

to this

Code:

$INFO[ListItem.Icon]

the 2 times it occurs in ViewType_List.xml, the problem goes away. I figure it must have something to do with how XBMC gets DDS images, because on an install where DDS was never used, the glitch doesn't happen.

I also see that this "permanent poster" will show when viewing at an episode level, behind the episode picture. If I change

Code:

<visible>Skin.HasSetting(listdvdcase)</visible>

to

Code:

<visible>[Skin.HasSetting(listdvdcase) + !Container.Content(episodes)]</visible>

in the two blocks of code where I made the other changes, this goes away.

I'm not sure why exactly my fix works and even if by doing that it might break something else because I know el zilcho about skinning, I just thought I might bring it up so that it might be addressed in the upcoming 2.0 release.

Thanks again for all your hard work, hopefully my post makes sense. If not let me know what parts are confusing and I will try to clarify.

Edit: As an added benefit, after doing this change scrolling quickly through my list of TV shows is WAAAAAY faster than it was before.

Edit 2: I also found out that if I use ListItem.Thumb instead of ListItem.Icon, scrolling gets even faster. Might be something to consider for the upcoming release.

chanders Wrote:Phil65, once again stunning work! Not to be critical, but is it just me or is the top bar a bit distracting with the blue glow? same for the homepage. The blue glow around the menu looks wonderful but then there is a blue glow on the top bar and the bottom bar. Maybe not so much glow will make the menu stand out more and highlight the main content in other views.



I like everything but that top and bottom bar glow just distracts from the main content.




Will it be configurable?

@phil65: are you close or far from release? it will be nice if you will tell us if the finish line can be seen
