skin teaser: olbia

netradio is skinned. osd too. what is missing is the live-guide, miniguide, osd in live-tv and timeshift (couldn't try it on a pvr-computer yet).

if you want to skin other plugins and need help (panels or something), just pm me, i'll make the graphics. i couldn't include the psd-files, the download-file was over 12mb. if you need task-images, do the same.

when i finish the osd-things, i'll release the skin on the wiki.

Yes sweet skin and quite different to the others which is nice

Thanks

It's a good skin, only have trouble with long text ... (sorry but i'm using french translation so sentences are longer) Will try to look depper for other problems tonight, but those seems major one.

[dottore]

yes, that's why i released it for testing. i expected this, since i wasn't able to test net radio (somehow doesn't play, maybe it's my firewall).

thanks for the reply, it helps a lot!

[pimboli]

wow,

it's a realy cool skin, I'm loving it ;-)

the only thing that I miss, is that it doesn't show the next recordings etc in the main screen..


thanks...

Seems there is very few bugs... the only other one i can found is about DVD player, when no DVD is inserted...
Oh i guess this is due to the main background skin, but the top left zone used to display the section name is too short as already seen on my previous screenshot

I can't test myvideo and mymusic.
Weather colorfull icon is not the best to use with other b&w icons, and I may surely change it but plugin works even if not completely skinned...

Wishes : any chance to add, next record, date and time etc on main menu ? It seems a little empty ...

Anyway this is really a Great Work Dottore !

[dottore]

yes, the main menu panels will be done. not skinned yet.

the problems from your previous post are due to a too short textframe, this will be fixed.

the dvd not inserted-error is something i cannot skin.

as i said, for the beginning, only the standard-plugins are skinned. these don't include the my-series, nor the weather plugin. that's why the task image doesn't fit and mymusic and myvideos don't work.

i'll make some more task-images, when the standard-plugins and the osd are fully working. thanks for the testing!

dottore!

Wow!! does not even start to describe it!

GREAT JOB! It's amazing.

I'm using Hebrew translation and it fits naturally even with the right-to-left character.

Best Skin ever - can't wait to see it complete.

Thanks!!

Here is one fix for net radio details
change lines 26 to 28 from DRIVEATH\gbpvr\skin\Olbia\net radio2\skin.xml with

Code:

        <SpecialElement name="StationDetails" loc="235,440" size="430,30" tagWidth="90"/>        
        <SpecialElement name="GenreDetails" loc="235,460" size="430,30" tagWidth="90"/>        
        <SpecialElement name="SongDetails" loc="235,480" size="430,30" tagWidth="90"/>

If you need to enable clock and next recording
change lines 40 to 41 from DRIVEATH\gbpvr\skin\Olbia\main menu\skin.xml with

Code:

        <SpecialElement name="Panel" panelName="Clock" visible="true" transparency="0.7" loc="50,300" size="220,70"/>        
        <SpecialElement name="Panel" panelName="NextRecording" visible="true" transparency="0.7" loc="50,340" size="490,70"/>

and lines 11 to 12 from DRIVEATH\gbpvr\skin\Olbia\panels\clock.xml to

Code:

            <DrawText text="@ClockText1" loc="15,15" size="230,20" textStyle="Clock" align="Left"/>            
            <DrawText text="@ClockText2" loc="15,35" size="245,20" textStyle="Clock" align="Left"/>

I may not be the best position but at least it works, and Dottore will surely do it looks like much better in the next release
