- JustinAiken - 2010-12-02 I downloaded it from Passion-XMBC's addon repo, so it is in a directory skin.transparency.SVN instead of just skin.transparency XBMC didn't recognize it as the same. - PatK - 2010-12-08 Roni, I wanted to ask if the Blue Box in the backdrop of the log-off buttons (and the drop down) and the Blue box in Video now playing 'player' might be modified to either a nice transparent licorice black as you have done in other areas, or eliminated altogether. Just a casual request... I like the highlight blue in most places, it's this dark plastic blue that cheapens the interface for me. A nice upscale would be a brushed metal look, with a drop of lighter chrome, but one thing at a time. - ronie - 2010-12-08 PatK Wrote:Roni, I've noticed the bottom few pixels in the OSD button video area are cut off... i may be looking in the wrong places, but i don't see it, so a screenshot would be helpful.

I'm working on it but it's hard to machine. - dondre - 2010-12-09 PatK Wrote:Transparent aluminum.... I'm working on it but it's hard to machine. I could image, as much as it's impossible in real life but hey as would say Buzz Lightyear, to infinity and beyond! Good luck with that mate ;-) - Henchmanc - 2010-12-10 I am testing XBMC at my job because I would like to convince them to put media centers in the Pediactric wings. But as the testing goes on, I am not allowed to connect the box to bypass the firewall so it can access the internet, thus, I cannot download the skin directly from the addons section. I find this skin to be the most interactive and best looking, and I would like to present it with it as the main skin. How can I get a copy as a zip file so I can install it manually. I tried downloading the SVN with TortoiseSVN then zipping all of the files it downloads, but when I try to install it through the addons menu-Install from zip. A message pops up that install failed. I am using XBMC 10.0 RC1 r35326 - ronie - 2010-12-10 Henchmanc Wrote:I am testing XBMC at my job because I would like to convince them to put media centers in the Pediactric wings.

I am using XBMC 10.0 RC1 r35326 stable zip: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/dharma/skin.transparency/ you can't install the svn version through the addon menu. just put it in a skin.transparency folder in your addons directory and xbmc will pick it up at startup. - Henchmanc - 2010-12-10 ronie Wrote:stable zip: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/dharma/skin.transparency/ So you are saying that the stable version you provided a link to I can install through the add-on menu, but if I were to use an SVN version, I should git it with an app such as TortoiseSVN and copy all of the files to a folder named skin.transparency in the addons folder on the XBMC machine? Am I following that correctly? - ronie - 2010-12-10 Henchmanc Wrote:Am I following that correctly? yes :-) - Henkske - 2010-12-13 What is the best way to keep your skin settings? Now everytime i download a new SVN i have to manually adjust all the settings too my likings - gabbott - 2010-12-13 Henkske Wrote:What is the best way to keep your skin settings?

First i do svn checkout http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skin.transparency. Then i manually have to copy the dir to /usr/share/xbmc/addons - gabbott - 2010-12-13 Henkske Wrote:First i do svn checkout http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skin.transparency. dont checkout each time, do a svn update when you are updating, and it shouldnt go there, it should go in the addons in your home directory. This is how I update: Code: xbmc@xbmc01:~$ cd .xbmc/addons/ - Henkske - 2010-12-13 gabbott Wrote:dont checkout each time, do a svn update when you are updating, and it shouldnt go there, it should go in the addons in your home directory. Yep that's the way it's supposed to work However he doesn't see the skin when in it's in my " home" folder. Only in /usr/share/xbmc/addons |
