[MOD] Dark Blue & Transaparent Icons

Next week I`ll do it. Anyway I'm sure it has something to do with permission in your windows accounts or something alike.

I uploaded all the files for standalone installation and updated the instructions.


Will start updating to date with the original night and continue working.


Enjoy.

Update

- No more XbT for now, only GiT.

- Syncro with Night

- Media flags changed.

Update

- Movieset changed and added to 16x9 and Panel view, all re pos.

- Night syncro

Will you be doing a 16x10 version of the skin.

I Have a native 1920x1200 monitor. And so images in the normal "Night" get out of shape with regards to aspect ratio. Would/Could you do a version or add a setting to account for this little quirk?

I just want to say nice mod!!! I like it! Its my default skin

I only changed cover glow to: FF0000FF
Makes it look nicer when using Dark Blue colors but just my setup offcourse.
Cant wait to see what you will make further down the line.

I don't know exactly but from what I've seen the skin or XBMC displays in your native resolution. The images are scaled to fit that resolution later, that's why if you have a different aspect ratio to the one the picture is, the same will look bad sometimes.

All the backgrounds and backdrop in my MOD are 16x10 and they look correctly in my monitor.

So in conclusion all you need is to have 16x10 images and XBMC will do the rest. At least I understand it that way. Feel free to correct me.

@ RiChaDo

Glad you like it. If you like it that way it's perfect.


Update

No, I Get that part. What I mean is all downloaded/library image content like posters and Album Art and the likes all get pinched or stretched vertically due to the skin thinking it is on a 16X9 display. From what I can tell. This skin/mod suffers the same quirk as Night it self. I Did make a post about it before some time ago. And the answer to fix it was to buy a 16x9 display and dump my 16x10 1920x1200 display (not going to happen). Or have the skin reworked to account for different display types.

On a side note. Bring back 3d-Landscpae TV view. Oh and where may I change the "watched" overlays. I Like the one that is worded "Watched" on an agile more than I do the image of the eye.


PS: Silly me for got to say

Nice job.

@ Oddsodz

First, 16x9 is crap, I will never go back to a 16x9 and the person that tell you to dump the 16x10 is plain ignorant.

I haven't even try to see if is any difference if I change the ratio, it's still 16x9 in all the views. But I suspect that the problem is not the skin being set as 16x9 but the downloaded/library images being 16x9, even if the XBMC don't stretch the image the skin would do it. Don't know if I'm explaining right or understand how it works right, I still have a lot to learn.

Anyway I will take a look at it, modify some views and see if there is any difference.

Never knew there was a debate about 16:9. I'm not a A/V expert but aren't most HDTV 16:9. Atleast all skins are coded for 16:9 and Unfortunatley on different ratios than that you might get some errors.

I have a TV that has an overscan issue so I shrink to fit in XBMC and in some skins I notice like the plot gets chopped and some skins it doesn't. That determined by the hieght and spacing of the font. Or maybe an image is misaligned a few pixels...XBMC does a good job with scaling but I guess it can't be perfect...
