New Skin: Contour

[boxapizza]

I'm sure Torque will accept your 46" hdtv donation as a token of your appreciation for his hard work

Im sure he would he might even deserve it more than me lol but for now he will have to settle for thank you

@LilY0da: REC icon is supposed to be there, makes more sense if you leave the "VA Panel:" text in there (see attach)... it's supposed to kinda resemble the button shape too. Music Library 2 is another plugin?... sheesh, glad I have help! LOL Send me the files and I'll put it in the download.

@joe chan: I don't see any bleeding of the background on my TV when I was using the S-video or DVI connection, so I'm not sure what the issue could be with your Plasma. If you take a screen shot, does it capture what you're talking about?

BTW, this skin is for 4:3 aspect, not 16:9... if I had a 46" HDTV, I can tweak it for 16:9...

Thanks for the comments.

Great skin!

I did notice one thing was missing from the archive skin that was causing errors in GBPVR.

12/29/2005 12:45:05 PM.743 ERROR [2] Unable to find named image: /settings/CompositeImages/CompositeImage[@name="ConflictWarningIcon"]

At the bottom of the skins/ContourHC/archive/skins.xml file, the following needs to be added

Code:

    <CompositeImages>
        <!-- Image used when displaying conflicts in the VA panel -->
        <CompositeImage name="ConflictWarningIcon" size="150,150">
            <DrawImage filename="..\Common Dialogs\exclamation mark.png" loc="0,0" size="150,150" />
        </CompositeImage>
    </CompositeImages>

Add this code just after the TextStrings block and just before the /settings that ends the file. This will stop the errors from occurring.

FYI, some of the buttons of the Video Archive HC skin are still grey on white rather than grey on black. If you access the videos menu and select a specific recording, the Play, Delete, Archive, and Cancel (I think) buttons need to be changed. Just a heads up.

Thanks LilY0da for skinning ML2. I fixed the problems gexi and daphatty found.

The latest version is now available in the Wiki, at:

Forgot to include the missing line in the Video Archive skin for the file # in list

Code:

<DrawText text="@IndexInList" loc="75,20" size="385,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Left"/>

I really love this skin!
But, I found out I programmed a conflict recording. But I was unable to find any page on the Contour skin to solve this. I needed to go back to the Xtreme skin to see mu pending recordings and solve the conflict.
Where can I solve conflicts in the CountourHQ skin?

Do you have the "Recordings" plugin active? You should be able to see your conflicts in there. My skin shouldn't have affected the usability of GBPVR, just the look. But let me know if you find something different between the two skins and I'll look into it.

I disabled the Recordings plugin, as I am using the Video Archiver plugin. This has the same (and better) functionality as Recordings plugin. But only in Recordings the conflicts are shown. Does this mean the Video Archiver plugin is missing the conflicts option?
