Building a skin like Kaleidescape's interface?
#1
Hi All,

Are there any volunteers to get together to build something like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgpHoYId7CM

I've installed a few of those media servers over the years and find it absolutely wonderful.

I know a *tiny* little about programming, a little more about structure and algorithm's... but I'd be happy to push this further.

We have the wallart library view which looks very similar, so, as i understand it, we'd need to add a blue 'banner' to highlight what the film is and stop fanart loading in the background (mine still does, despite being disabled) and to be a little smoother .. ... but i don't know whether that is a limitation of my little 'ol apple tv.

cheers muchly

jt

Wow! - that is very close. I wish the highlighting box was a light-grey or a single colour like orange. I don't like the rainbow colours, not elegant and classy.

Hi Ontap, I'm not a coder but it should be fairly easy to do that.

What I would like is a single colour selection box or one that strobes between a slightly lighter shade of the original single colour.

I really appreciate your kind help.
