Ellipsis Latest Public Version: 1.2.1 02 Feb '11 (SVN Revision 3172) (Archived)

Ok so revision 2866 *should* be all working now. I had an error with the upload but I think it's been sorted now. Check it and see if it works:

Nice! I will try this asap! Is there a way to build the skin in linux? I mean, is there a Build.bat and TexturePacker replacement that works in Linux? I don't have a windows installation. Alternatively someone might be willing to upload a pre-build version?

EqUiNoX was talking about it being his highest priority when he's back. But not sure when that is to be honest. But he is looking into it for all you Linux folks. I prefer the skin unpacked anyway. To be honest I think the xbt ruins the quality of the textures I spent so long building!

I'll see what I can do about getting an updated release out for you that's already built a little later.

maybe i have got altzeimers, but is it normal there are only 2 different views for tv and movies? no logo or banner view for tv? and for movies no wall, fanart view etc??

cheers
and thanks for the efforts to already make it available via svn..

Yep we only ever made two view types originally, but its the main focus for 1.3 release, adding a LOT of view types, all the favourites from other skins that people like, we'll add them!

cool, is it a work intensive task? I am not skinning, so yeah, is it days of work, weeks, or months?

cheers

Ellipsis 1.3 is weeks away, months even. Its by no means an easy task, plus as I'm doing this alone it will take longer, plus I'll have to fit it into my spare time!

Personally I think two views done exceptionally well is better than five done poorly.

Just want one more for the music section

This skin is a beauty. The only thing I'm missing (which is preventing me from using it full time) is the absence of support for the subtitles addon. Any chance someone can point me in the right direction on how to add support for this addon?

From what I understand it's in there. You have to enable it on the Skin settings page.
