Community Skin support thread

Right. The image collection/SkinPlugin is now a separate download since it is the majority of the bulk of the download, and least often changed. This also allows me to keep 16:9 and 4:3 themes separated.

Community skin 2.0 - Object Recefence not set to an instance of an object

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am still getting this everytime I launch the program with the commandline to go to live tv, and I press the Menu key - the live TV image is missing. I dismiss the error, go back into live TV and press Menu and all is well. It only occurs on the first time I go back to the Menu from Live TV.
==================
OK, installed the 2.1.2 version last night, and yes, I get it with the blue skin, the MCE skin and the Avance skin. It's like it needs to initialize something by going into the Live TV via the menu before it will show the live TV preview. This occurs when I blast right into Live TV with command line parameters, and after the first occurance it goes away. I will try to test tonight by just starting GBPVR and selecting Live TV, the hitting the Menu button to see if it occurs that way also. (I am using the Hauppauge 45 button remote)

When you say Blue skin do you mean the Blue theme or GBPVR's actuall Blue skin chosen in the config app?

If it errors with GBPVRs Blue skin then its a GBPVR issue and you should direct your question to the general support forum.

This sounds like a bug sub has to address.

OK, changed to the default Blue skin in GBPVR and this still happens no matter how GBPVR is started - with or without command lines- it's ALWAYS after the first time I go in to LiveTV and then press the Menu button on my Hauppauge 45 button remote.

Mention this in a support thread so sub will notice it. (Not the skin/plugin thread)

Just installed this skin/plugin.
I am impressed. Very nice and elegent design.

Just wanted to say thank you to the developers who put time to make it look that good

BTW, If I select a certain 'theme' for the Main Menu, would it reflect also on other screens (like recordings, music ...etc.)?
I do not want to be setting the theme for each one individually (too many options in the plugin it feels that I need to adjust each one individually to get a consistant theme).

Currently only using default (I think it is MCE, which looks really nice already), but afraid to change anything and mess it up and make themes not consistant across screens.

Thanks again all for such wonderful work (I hope sub adds it as a standard install ) other wise many people would not even try it.

If you choose a theme, that changes the entire image set and even some xml's if related. Themes are a easy way to change over everything at once. You can use the SkinPlugin and play around with different buttons and backgrounds, ect.

No matter what you do, selecting a theme will always restore it to its default state.

Its pretty indestructable. Play around.

Here is a tip...

Got gool images or photos and want to try them out as backgrounds?

copy those images to ..\devnz\gbpvr\skin\SkinPlugin\Backgrounds\My Backgrounds

[Gemini1706]

But how I change themes?
The only plase where I go to is the 'Skin' plugin, and there I already messed up the fonts on my TV guide, and now I cannot go back (or do not know how to go back).

Is changing themes requiring editing some file?
I cannot find anything with word 'theme' on it in the plugin

I just want to go back to DEFAULT.
