just want to give a heads up to any skinner who is skinning my videos, in the next release i have removed a lot of the "Buttons" from the buttons section it will look more like this:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><Buttons>
<!-- Ok_Message is for message boxs with only the "OK" option, so it can be placed in the center of the box -->
<Button name="Ok_Message" loc="186,123" size="120,32" imageNormal="custombtn.png" imageSelected="button-focus.png" />
<Button name="Ok" loc="127,123" size="120,32" imageNormal="custombtn.png" imageSelected="button-focus.png" />
<Button name="Cancel" loc="257,123" size="120,32" imageNormal="custombtn.png" imageSelected="button-focus.png" />
<Button name="PageUp" loc="670,434" size="27,27" imageNormal="pageup-nofocus.png" imageSelected="pageup-focus.png" />
<Button name="PageDown" loc="640,434" size="27,27" imageNormal="pagedown-nofocus.png" imageSelected="pagedown-focus.png" />
<Button name="PopupGenre" loc="20,83" size="460,34" imageNormal="empty.png" imageSelected="genrebutton-focus.png" />
</Buttons>[/QUOTE]
i have to keep those ones in there, since it would be a pain to remove them and set them up differently, all the other buttons are now just done via two composite images:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
<CompositeImage name="SelectedButtonImage" size="159,32">
<DrawImage filename="button-focus.png" loc="0,0" size="159,32"/>
<DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="7,6" size="155,34" textStyle="MenuButtonText" align="Left"/>
</CompositeImage>

<CompositeImage name="NormalButtonImage" size="159,32">
<DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="7,6" size="155,34" textStyle="MenuButtonText" align="Left"/>
</CompositeImage>[/QUOTE]

and two special elements
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
<SpecialElement name="Buttons" loc="33,60" spacing="3"/>
<SpecialElement name="InfoButtons" loc="33,320" spacing="3"/>[/QUOTE]

so the menu buttons are more like the rest of gbpvr now, this means each button cant have a unique image, but no one seemed to be taking advantage of that feature, so no point to keep it (and besides the rest of gbpvr doesnt allow for this). ive added the ability to turn off unwanted menu buttons in the config, so i had to change the skin to work with this. the next version should be out in a day or two, just having issues with the config form.

I agree With Tip..It would stink if you could not change things for yourself..

[dottore]

you can change everything, you can even use shapes instead of images. this is an improvement. the only thing, which you can't change anymore is the position of every single button. but you can change the menu-position and the spacing between the buttons, so pretty nothing will change (except the size of the skin-file) :-)

dottore has it right, every button will use the same two images for selected and unselected, but these images are composite images so they can be anything you like, a png, a gif, 500 gif on top of 12432 png files with 32423 roundedrectangles around them. the same way sub does the menu buttons in recordings/main menu etc.

in about an hour
just test the config form to make sure everything is fine, and finishing the blue skin.

the only languages ive learnt at uni so far are java, C#, vb.net, some assembly, i can do databases quite well in C#, alright in java, learning some php and C++ and opengl this semester. im doing an internet programming paper which the first assignment (got it on the first day, how stink is that?) does php and mdb databases, i think it covers some basic perl and javascript aswell. but i want to get a job in C# doing something fun, dont really want to program something boring like word.

v2.1.10.0

added
- now can turn off/on menu buttons in the config, and change their order

fixed
- checks if a dvd is in the drive before looking up info
- doesnt require the skin.xml to define the maximum description length

can someone download this and give it a quick test, using the blue theme. im pretty sure it works fine, replace the dll with the new one, run gbpvr see if my videos loads. then exit gbpvr, run the config, config my videos, play around with the menu order, and which buttons to show, click ok, ok again in config and run my videos, and see if the menu appears as it should.

i didnt change anything else in the skin, so the post i made before does reflect the changes in the skin.xml file. ill upload a new media experience in a few hours, just want to get away from computer now.

enjoy.

note: if you have several things on your virtual root, i suggest adding your dvd rom drive(s) to the virtual root so you can use the infoscreen on them to see whats in the drive (very handy ive found), also you can then remove the &quot;Play DVD&quot; button from the side menu.

note 2:im planning on adding one or two more things to the menu and it was running out of room, thats why i did this big reshuffle.

note 3: you cant drag and drop the treeview items, just click the move up/down buttons, it was far to much work to add the drag and drop feature to the treeview, i gave up, a lot of code, my time is better spent else where.

ps enjoy again

Quote[/b] ]So just the dll has changed, am I reading you right?

no i changed the skin.xml file aswell, the post i posted a few days ago saying which changes i will make, ive made. so everything in that post is true about this version. just look in the supplied skin.xml with the blue theme to get an idea.

what does the log say?
