[MOD] Rapier Qualar Mod incorporating Rapier 3.0 features

This mod is a full skin replacement. This takes all the features of my previous mod that was based on Rapier 2.0 but adds most of the features of Rapier 3.0.

Rapier 3.0 changed a lot of things so it involved a lot of work to bring the mod up to date. If you find any problems please post them below so I can get them fixed.

The download is quite a bit larger than the original skin because I have included HD Fanart for weather and animated weather icons.

Download Version 3.6 29/5/2010

Hey Qualar,

If I may ask; is this a mod of your mod to bring in some of the 3.0 features, or have you taken 3.0 and reapplied your features to it?

Also, where does this stand in relation to the beta that certain people received?

Cheers,
Smenus.

It is a hybrid of the 2. The beta i sent out was for this release.

I didnt get my results from the beta in in time.

1. Trailers dont stop in the 3D view. Pressing down starts the trailer over again.

2. 3D Wrap View also needs a scrollbar. I can add in my upcoming mod (with extrathumbs) if you dont think its necessary.

Thats all for now, I'll keep looking, great work man!

1. I have made it X on keyboard or stop on remote to stop the trailer now.

2. I could not think of a good way of having a scrollbar and not interfering with the down for trailers option.

Hi Qualar,

n1 work with this mod.

I have one problem. I'd prefer to have the Seekbar from the original Rapier 3.0 Skin.

I replaced your DialogSeekbar.xml with the original but that didn't do the trick.
Only half of the Information is visible.

It would be great if you could give me a hint how I could get the original Seekbar working.

My guess is it's using a different <font> for what's not showing.

Example:

<label>$INFO[ListItem.Plot]</label>
<font>SeekbarSmall</font>

if "SeekbarSmall" is not in font.xml, that would cause certain sections of text not to show...I haven't downloaded the skin but thats my guess

mcboza is correct. You will need to change the fonts and fontcolor.

My posters are cut off on the sides in the showcase view. Seems to be trimming them on the sides instead of scaling. Any ideas?
