BlueRetroVE+ skin for NPVR

[Jaggy]

To my untrained eye that screenshot look fine now. The text does have a black outline on it by design so could that be the black shadow you are seeing?

Jaggy, I always found a paradox in the black outline, for me it actually made the "VE" harder to read and appear blurry.

I have actually been dropping it from places during my most recent updates & yes you are right this part of the guide doesn't actually need it so I will get rid of it for the next release......odd how you get into a routine of doing things & forget you are even doing them.

Likely! Just that the White text doesn't have it. Agree it is better though !

I find that as I'm getting more used to the old fashioned letters I like them better and better

[Jaggy]

I have to admit I'm still getting used to them myself & like you I like them more the more I use it

Due to getting all my messages/requests ignored recently & to a few other issues, I have decided to cease all development on all projects I have been & was going to be involved with for NextPVR for the foreseeable future.

From the lack of feedback for this skin I don't think it's going to affect that many users, but I will say sorry to any it may affect.

I'm sorry to hear that, I did send you a message from both my email accounts saying that I have had the brve-beta running for some time and not found any bugs, and the skin is very nice. Didn't you get those messages?

I've benefited from your expertise on numerous occasions and will miss your contributions to npvr and the forum!
