Thanks stoli.
Merry Christmas to you.

Good morning and Merry Christmas to all of you.

@ stoli please answer the post 268
The updated eight colour choise is very welcome and sends Stolo.Skin one step forward.But i think that the Antipasto coulour is missing.Can you please add it again ? Much better than the Cyan
The only missing thing for XBMC to be the absolute player is the support of TV CARD for DVB-T free channels

Wow great, love the new colour schemes they look really nice.

My wife has fallen in love with this skin when she saw me tinkering around with it, but we can't use it yet as we are using the PVR branch to TV support.

Look forward to seeing the next updates though, really like this skin Smile

Merry Xmas all.

Opening the xbmc in Videos mode\enter it shows me the root folder the Video add-ons and the Add Sourse. I have rename the root folder i.e CINE PARADISE.
So i can see the folder and over of it the Cine Paradise.So far good.
But if you wait for 2-3 seconds because of the Zoom which Stoli created,the folder goes on the title and i can not read it. Is there any option to have the title of the folder in the upper left side of the screen,the same thing when we open a movie folder and then we can see the movie's title in the upper left side.
Also is there any possibility for the movies i have already watched to show any signal on the movie's case like an arrow which it will tell me not to watch this movie for both modes Videos and Movies
Thanks for your attention
Vaggelis............

I'll look at the issue of the title being covered. I'm guessing you are using the poster view while in file mode when this happens?

There is already a watched checkmark available. Just make sure it is enabled in settings.

The Antipasto font is now just called Neon - Default. As for the color, Default is the same as it always has been.

Good morning stoli and thanks for your reply.
1. Yes i have it in Poster because i like it
2. Where exactly in the settings i have to go to activate this signal for the movies i have already watched?
Finally i found it. It is great but you must watch all the movie and then it shows that it has been checked.
3. In File mode it does not happen because it shows the folder in the down right position of the screen
4. Yes the default is the antipasto and thanks again.

Great - Thanks for the details - that makes sense...

  <!--RSS feeds. To have multiple feeds, just add a feed to the set. You can also have multiple sets.-->
  <!--To use different sets in your skin, each must be called from skin with a unique id.-->

Hope that helps.

great stoli. the skin looks better and better. awesome work.

i`ve found two little bugs.
If i listen to music and go to my tv shows, i have two rotating cds. one on the left and one on the right side. this is only in landscape view.

the second bug comes if i click on any album and go to track view. if there are more than 16 tracks, the skin dont show the last track. if i want to choose this track i have to navigate down and out of the screen.

1. That would be because I never use cd 'art' - should be an easy fix.
2. What view option? List, small list?

Thanks,

In Viewtype "songs"

@stoli
I think that paused screen and info screen (pressed I) should be different. Info should have more info on it. At least rating and directors name..

Maybe. Laugh I had the star/imdb rating there at one point and I think the director as well. I just figured that by the time you got around to playing the movie or episode you had already been inundated with flags, plots, actors, etc.

I think that if more info were to be added it should appear on the pause screen so as to not be a distraction if all you are doing is checking time remaining (I do that all the time). Maybe a two stage info screen where the current and end time appear for 3 seconds before the rest of the info appears... Hmmm that sounds like a possibility.

Thoughts?

stoli Wrote:Actually, I can't, but you can. :-) There are language files specific to the skin located in \skin.neon\language\[language]\strings.xml

If you want to take the time and grab the one in the English folder and translate it to Swedish it would be most welcome. The same goes for any other languages that are not already there.

Once it is translated, you can post it and I can include it with future updates.

In this particular case, I added the TV Show translation and have uploaded to git, but it really would be helpful if you could assist in the translation of the rest....

Thanks!

Merry Christmas Stoli! As a gift I have translated the skin to Swedish! Big Grin
You can download it at http://www.filedropper.com/strings_2

Great updates, keep up the good work! Nod


- stoli - 2010-12-26

Update: I pushed a bunch of updates yesterday and early this morning that included some updated graphics. These may not show up unless you delete your textured.db file from /xbmc/userdata/database/. Deleting this file will do nothing more than force an update to select textures.

I just pushed an update with a different Info screen for Movies (haven't updated TV items yet) that displays the top bar if you are using global time for three seconds before displaying the bottom with more info. I added Director, IMDB rating/votes and MPAA rating.

Let me know what you think.

@Kalliban - Thank you for the Swedish translation, that has been pushed to git as well.

Now time for some beer and football! Rofl

Just wanted to let you know a few things.

The last couple of days when I have restarted my XBMC, the skin has reverted to "Confluence". However at "Appearance" setting it does say NEON (SVN), but I have to choose to install it again to get the skin back.

Also at the movies view (slim) I have to manually select to get movie info. I thougt this screen was supposed to show movie info automatically. Actually it does show the first movie selected, but as soon as I scroll down the movie info disappears.

Just thought I'd let you know. Anybody else seen this?

PS: I saw you needed some translations done somewhere. If you need NEON translated to Norwegian I'll be happy to help out. Please just tell me which files and I'll get it done in a couple of days.
