BaseSkin 2.0

[MixMan]

Thanks for the feedback Fatman_do

Did you drop the @periods at line 2 ?
I will adjust previews and other stuff till next uploads.

I spent a couple of hours putting together a XBMC based theme.
It is not close to the original XBMC skin, but it is clean and simple, the way I like it. But I really like the TitleLogos in the original skin. Have a look at the original Chokemaniac Project Mayhem 3 at

There are still things to do here and there, but does anyone like it ?

No, I added @channel to line 2 since there is room there.

Example:

<DrawText text="@title" loc="8,6" size="325,25" textStyle="DetailsViewItemsTitle" align="Left"/>
<DrawText text="@subtitle" loc="230,6" size="250,20" textStyle="DetailsViewItemsTitle" align="Right"/>
<DrawText text="@period" loc="8,27" size="285,25" textStyle="DetailsViewFolders" align="Left"/>
<DrawText text="@channel" loc="270,27" size="100,25" textStyle="DetailsViewFolders" align="Right"/>
<DrawText text="@status" loc="370,27" size="105,25" textStyle="@status" align="Right"/>

Thanks for the tip.
I will implement one of these days.
I am also thinking of making all TitleLogos 70px height in the skins.xmls. (now it varies)
I really like to have TitleLogos like PM3.

Did you see the MCE2Blue AM theme at the Wiki ?
Could be theme for you Chamelion and its sknpacks
Do you have any more ideas, suggestion ?

Am trying the base skin, and actually looks good and easy to use. Can you make it compatible with the Security Cam plugin. Thanks

[fhmanas]

Also, XRecord and XSearch seems to not work as well with Horizon theme. It overshoots the whole screen so I can just see a small part.

I checked and there seems to be security cam folder but it just won't work, so I had to copy the security cam folder from my Blue skin. This is true as well with Calculator and Recordings.

[MixMan]

OK

The calculator skin was missing and security cam had some images missing.
Will fix till next release. Thanks

A ThemePack includes just graphic elements and a BaseSkin file and the Main Menu files. A ThemePack can not affect plugin skin files.
The recordings plugins has always worked for me and others, except for overlapping title and subtitle,
The XRecord and XSearch I haven't tried, but they are just BlueMCE2 skins like the webcam plugins.....made by the plugin developers.
Do you mean that these plugins works with other ThemePacks but not with Horizon ?

This may already be eluded to but when viewing pending recordings the description detail on the right hand side seems to overlap itself. Really like the Steel MCE2 skin though and it reads fine on my 28" crt tv (except the problem mentioned previously of course!)!

[MixMan]

Relaxed and "composed" with some images from HDeeTV.
Does anyone like to see this as a theme ?

[dinki]

Yes

[nemulate]

Yes please!
