[DEV] Progress

[Fatman_do]

Installer file updated to run SkinPluginHelper.exe /register. Commited to SVN.

One minor request. Can you make the addition of skin be the last item and not the first in the list? Being the first item on the list will cause "Skin" to be the default menu item when launching GB-PVR.

Done.

[McBainUK]

What's left todo before a (closed?) beta test?

There are some things (eg Live guide, legacy resources?) that could be added but that shouldn't hold us back from getting a group of people to test the skin and plugin on a range of PCs and with as many plugins and GB-PVR configurations as possible.

[Fatman_do]

Not sure if anything is left todo. I was waiting on things to firm up before creating a BlueMCE2 download theme, so we can test that part of it as well.

[McBainUK]

So if hairy agrees maybe a community announcement is in order...

Where can we host the (10mb) installer?

[Hairy]

I think we've gotta be nearly there.

Have you guys tried out loading different graphical options from the skinplugin? For me the one's I've tried past Background/mask don't actually load. The layout stuff appears to load but not most of the graphics, might be a slight reference glitch. (I'm on vista x86 by the way)

It might make sense to go with a closed Beta (first off), if you guys have more technical questions that some of the old hats around here could help with.

If we're really stuck I've got a rapidshare account we can host it on (traffic share-direct download).

I've been doing some tests but I haven't done every option/combination.

For me the one's I've tried past Background/mask don't actually load. The layout stuff appears to load but not most of the graphics, might be a slight reference glitch. (I'm on vista x86 by the way)

Is this with the latest versions of everything (ie what's in the SVN now)?

[Hairy]

Yep just built and installed within the hour. For me everything I've tried in between mainmenu overlay and Taskimages didn't actually load.

I've also just updated the SkinPluginConfig.xml to fix a couple of Task Image references (slight typo - Library vs libary and a couple of missing references)

EDIT: really minor: I also altered the theme descriptions CS Blue - Dark I think should be the default theme install, CS Blue is just a lighter variation on it for those who might prefer.

Try the latest build and see how you get on.

[McBainUK]

Doesn't load here either. Will look into it.

[Hairy]

The layout stuff loads a treat though
