New Skin: Contour

[Torque]

Sub, I still can't get the visualizations to show up in the main menu while playing music like in your screen capture. Is that available in 95.11? (I haven't upgraded yet.) *blush*

I've created a High Contrast version called "ContourHC":

Thank you for all the compliments and suggestions... I will work hard on getting the My* plugins skinned properly in coming days.

I think this Inset setting made its appearance in 95.14.

I love this theme. Thanks!

The Lightgray on the main menu should be made darker by default (like the other menus), other than that it's great and should be made the default after a few minor tweaks here and there.

Works perfect on my MVP, don't know what the other guy's issue is.

The fonts were a little small for my perference on my 36" TV but I've already tweaked that.

I also themed the RSS plugin if anyone wants the XML (attached).

Thanks again Torque, great job, good eye.

Thanks!

I just installed 0.95.16 and tested the skin and tweaked the visualizations so it actually sits inside the black info box on the main menu. Also, the News/RSS plugin has been fully implemented. (I need to spend more time trying out all the plugins... News/RSS is cool)

Well, even with all plugins disabled, it won't launch for me. :-(
Here's the log, in case you find anything that means something to you

EDIT: could it be because I'm still in 0.94.13 ?

Im getting an error when I try to start a music file that I am missing the file wmppia or one of its dependencies? Ive searched my computer and dont have this file. I have wmp 9 installed.

Yes

I just installed ContourHC on a whim and I must say, I am impressed! It looks incredible on my TV! I am having a couple of problems though. My menu doesn't scroll at all. I can only access the first 7 or 8 buttons but none of the others that are off screen. Also, and this is minor, the red REC icon (VA specific) that appears when a recording is in progress is completely misaligned. It's just sorta there in the middle.

ok...I did a search on wmppia and its part of the windows media player SDK...its the PIA file and needs to be registered? Do I need all of this or have I missed something basic?
