i did the aqt browser v2 thats on the download page. im one of the few widescreen tv users, so i keep updating the python scripts to be resolution aware. the default size thing came from one of moutons previous updates.
personally, i dont like the one that downloads the covers so i never fixed it to be resolution aware. you cant tell what cover is highlighted, and it takes too long to download them.

@ supadawg
what are you possibilities on skinning mxm?
can you change fonts/fontsizes/fontcolor?
can move things around as you want?
i'd suggest to use dark windows with bright fonts - and make the info fonts smaller - things almost go ver the edges on the boarders - you should make the panels bigger
whats needed for a mxm skin anyways? if its just one bg texture i might aswell make one for you

well usually its a mish-mash of textures, but for the sake of this skin i tried something different than my last and used one big one.... didnt turn out so well... couldnt find a transparent version of the new mxm logo.
if you want to make one big texture that would be great... send it my way and i'll map and code the xml.
fonts in mxm are pretty restrictive however... we can play with colors but thats pretty much it.
you can move things around pretty freely. every line of text on there is tied to a trigger... such as current songname, temp and each drive size. i could have used your ux skin and just changed the xml file, but figured it would be a good idea to make it look different... since none of your other skins are laid out anything alike.

hey chokey!
keep coming across these errors when i go to and from home to videos or music
16-10-2004 08:10:26 error texture manager unable to load file: q:\skin\project mayhem\media\overlay-play.gif

i have checked the latest skin from the critikil site and these .png and .gifs are not in the ..\media folder.
there is a reference to these in the ..\pal\.xml files and the textures.xpr file
i am using 10/5/04 xbmc and as above the latest skin from the critikil site.
the funny thing is i don't have a problem with the project mayhem skin. all looks good and functions correctly (aqt doesn't load the trailers every time, but i believe it is most likely apple.com)
is it a simple as cleaning up these entries out of the xml or does textures.xpr have to be edited?
i only ask for the sake of reducing the number error log entries appearing in xbmc.log
also noticed it also logs that ..\pal\font.xml doesn't have the default font set. copied an pasted font18 + tags changed name to default and all seems ok.
my only question is was the default font not specified for a reason eg. as a fix to another problem?
thanks for the great work and i look forward to your reply!
if you need to do any beta testing in the future let me know.
ps i am investigating having the ram feature as a timed splash page at start up prior to going to the home page (configurable in settings). its been a couple of years since i have been near xml so i will let you know how i go.
cheers
