Common Images Plugins Skins & Community Skin Project

Added MusicLibrary2 (by Psycik) to wiki and am starting on Music Player (I am just going down the list).

Any requests for ones you would like to see sooner than later?

Also, test things out.

This phase is just a conversion. Tweaks and bug fixes need to be addressed, so if you would like to help out and test your favorite plugins, that would be appreciated.

Report anything, alignments, errors, clipped off images, suggestions.

Thanks.

Bug/Glitch Report: Channel number/name data that is on three lines is cut off in the TV Guide. (See attached image)

Only way to fix that was to increase the text size from 11 to 12.

I plan on finishing up Music Player tonite and starting on whatever the latest skin MY Series plugin.

I am probably going to slow down dramatically afterwards. Bad news from employer again (not sure if can make it thru september).

Mixman, I see you've been busy uploading new xml's on the SkinFiles page, good work.

Is it possible you could add a note to the wiki saying what you changed, and update the rev ## number?

Note: When you make a change and upload a new version please follow these guidelines:
* Add a word or two to the ‘Notes’ section in the table. This will prevent people overwriting your work with an edited old version.
* Include a copy of the previous versions in a backup folder to assist in reviewing changes.
* Include a “rev ?? - Last edited by ???” comment tag at the top of the skin file. This helps with version tracking.

Yse, sure. Rev1 means first upload to me, so there is not much to say about changes. But I will do that and include Rev and change in the XML also....to keep track of version and changes (Haven't done that yet.)

Baseskin.xml uploaded to wiki (same as posted here)

Music Player (by Jeff) is uploaded to wiki.

Up next is the My series.

Just uploaded preview build number 4 of the SkinPlugin. Added lots of new editable skin items (including Main Menu), and improved the skin preview function.

My Series status report.....

Spent quite a bit of time thinking I found bugs in the skinning system. Then I found out I was using an older version of one of the xml files.

Since that killed all the time I spent on it today, I won't have it done until the weekend.

I also want to make a change to the More_xxx image files.

The source images have excessive padding in one direction.

Before:

After:

The before image makes it difficult to place correctly. This might need previous skins to be tweaked, but I think this is a better usage of an image like this.

Any objections?
