1080P Transparency... when?

Hi, Ronnie... in a near future, we'll have Transparency in 1080p format?
Thanks in Advance

hmmm....let's see....
- some want me to make a 4:3 version of the skin
- some want a touchscreen compatible version
- some want a version that also runs on xbmc 9.04
- some want a special xbox version
- a now someone wants a 1080p version

...and hardly anyone's willing to help out.


did that answer your question? ;-)

want my honest opinion?
it would've saved me a shitload of hours troubleshooting if nobody would use it anymore. ;-P

i agree 1080p would be really nice. there are a lot of 4:3 skins and tons of 720p skins, but no real 1080p skins. 4:3 and xbox are the past, and soon xbmc 9.04 will be too, and touchscreen isn't used that much in home theaters. but 1080p displays are getting cheaper, 1080p is the future but i understand it's a LOT of work and not gonna happen anytime soon

i do agree 1080 is the future and probably in a few years the majority of skins will be in 1080p. but yes, it's a lot of work. there's about a 100 xml files in Transparency! and if anyone wants to multiply all the x, y, width and height values by 1.5 i'd say we're almost there.

if someone's good at scripting, it might even be possible to automate the process?

Ronie,

is there any identifier(s) that are common for the lines containing widths and heights that would need to be changed? I would gladly help if you give me some directions. I can handle my way around with some awk and sed scripting.

Thanks for the lovely skin!

ooh, you surely caught me off guard...
i've never given the 1080p option much thought, in fact i don't even know if xbmc supports 1080p skins. as far as i know here are none at the moment, it least i've never seen one.

concerning your question, sizes and positions are defined as follow in the xml files:


a few tricky things to keep in mind, posx and posy values can be negative:
<posy>-135</posy>

and in a few cases defined as an offset from the right side of the screen:
<posx>150r</posx>

other things, although much less work, is to adjust all the fontsizes.
last thing i can think of is also all the animations need to be adjusted.

like i said i haven't given it much thought and the above is just what comes to mind at the moment.

let me know if you need more info. i'll give it a good nights sleep. ;-)

Isn´t Aeon 1080p?

Greping through the files, taking posx as an example, we have the following entries:

posx
posx negative
posx relative

You said we should just multiply the values by 1.5. What would your suggestion be for the relative and negative cases. Should they be multiplied as well?

Cheers

nope, it's 720p

yes, those should be multiplied as well. note, the values can't contain any decimals
