How do I disable the clock on Blue's main menu?

[wtg]

Upgraded to the new release and it's working great. However I'd like to disable the clock on the MVP's main menu skin so I don't see the CPU spike I get every minute with the clock updates. This used to be easy to do, but I don't seem to be able to do it now.

I made a copy of the blue skin's directory, calling it Blue MVP. I configured the MVP service to load the Blue MVP skin, and according to the log, it does. I've tried commenting out both of the current time elements that I see in the menu sub-directory's skin.xml file, but it doesn't have any affect. The time still shows on the screen after saving the change and restarting the recording service.

Clearly I'm doing something wrong, but what is it?

My menu\skin.xml is here:

Code:

<settings>
    <!-- name colors -->
    <NamedColors>            
        <NamedColor name="StandardFill" color="Black"/>            
    </NamedColors>        
  
    <!-- text style -->
    <TextStyles>
        <TextStyle name="MenuStyle" color="White" size="14"/>
    </TextStyles>

    <!-- placements -->
    <Placements>
        <Placement name="MenuButtonOrigin" loc="55,25" offset="9" rightShift="true" alpha="200"/>
        <Placement name="SelectedTaskDescription" loc="10,89" alpha="150"/>
        <Placement name="TaskImage" loc="10,25" alpha="90"/>
        <!--
        <Placement name="CurrentTime" loc="10,4" alpha="150"/>
        -->
    </Placements>

    <!-- Animations -->
    <Animations>
        <Animation name="SwitchScreen" type="FadeThrough" duration="300"/>    
    </Animations>
  
    <!-- Composite Images -->    
    <CompositeImages>
        <!--
        <CompositeImage name="TaskImage" size="30,42">
            <DrawRoundedRect loc="2,2" size="96,96" fillColor="Black" borderColor="Transparent" radius="3" borderWidth="0"/>                
            <DrawImage filename="@taskImage" loc="0,0" size="100,100"/>            
        </CompositeImage>
        -->

        <CompositeImage name="SelectedTaskDescription" size="80,10">
            <DrawText text="@description" loc="0,0" size="100,100" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
        </CompositeImage>


        <!--
        <CompositeImage name="CurrentTime" size="80,5">
            <DrawText text="@currentTime" loc="0,0" size="100,100" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
        </CompositeImage>
        -->

        <CompositeImage name="ButtonNormal" size="24.0,5.0">        
            <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="7,5" size="100,100" textStyle="MenuStyle" align="Left"/>
        </CompositeImage>

        <CompositeImage name="ButtonSelected" size="26.0,5.0">        
            <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="7,5" size="100,100" textStyle="MenuStyle" align="Left"/>
        </CompositeImage>

    </CompositeImages>            
</settings>

I would have expected that to work.

I dont think you can disable it at the moment. The time thats currently shown is just a temporary solution until panels are reimplemented (which will be able to be disabled).

You ought to know, but closer inspection of the logs shows that the MVP skin choice isn't being honored.

Code:

2007-07-07 00:23:41.031    VERBOSE    [1]    getValue: /settings/ActiveMVPSkin : [B]Blue MVP[/B]

I enabled task images in blue and they show up on the MVP now as well.

Yeah, this has already been pointed out. I've fixed it for the next release.

Ok, thanks. I'll shut up then.
