Hi thewarm.

Been using your theme for a while now and just want to thank you again. Its excellent.

My movies have the UK certification ratings and I also have the imdb top 250 ranking on. Both of these icons aren't themed. Would it be possible to have them themed also? If not, no problem.

Cheers

Do they show up when using a default Metropolis theme?
My understanding of themes is that if an icon is called for by XBMC and it is not in the "theme texture" file, it will look for it in the original textures.xbt file. So if the icons do work in the default Metropolis theme, they should work with mine...

If you are feeling brave, you could do what I did... download the Metropolis 2.6.3 theme from the GIT, extract it to your drive, and modify the images yourself with a graphics program. I use paint.NET (free).

I am posting a "complete" texture file that includes all of the original artwork from Metropolis plus my mods. It can replace the original textures.xbt if you don't want to switch to Glass, Leather...etc. Or, just rename it to Metro or Metrodark and add it to the media folder. PS, I added the original icons back. new Textures file

Hope this helps.

Hi

The movies certification ratings have never been themed since I changed it to get UK ratings. I use the Universal Movie scraper to get the UK rating from IMDb. I guess I'm in the minority getting the UK ratings . Not a big deal they just looked out of place with your new icons being the same colour. Just some mild OCD kicking in. All looks good with the coloured icons though. I have been using the grey theme and your metrodark with the metro colours as a sort of hybrid theme which works well. So I got the original coloured icons but with the metro touch to the theme.

I have replaced the textures file with the new one but the icons are the same. I have renamed it to Metro and I can see certain things have changed like the default images and the watched tick so I must have done it right but the icons are the same?

Maybe one day I'll be brave and get round to learning how to do some of this myself!

Cheers

I "themed" the icons requested. I also restored the watched icon. I made some changes to the drop-down and pop-up "dialogs"...
