New Skin: BlueMCE2

[QuintZ]

Ah, great! I'm using this skin with great pleasure

[jtokach]

MyMusic and MyPicture has @tags all over the place. I have the most recent versions of the Myplugins and this skin. You still on this dottore?

Thanks!!!

[dottore]

yes i am, but i'm a poor student and have to earn some money, so there is not much time left ;-) i'll post a new version in the next days, supporting the new release and some more plugins... just be patient...

Hey man, we've all been there! No rush on it, I just wasn't sure if I was the only one seeing this issue.

I'm looking forward to the next release!

Thanks again!

Jim

@jtokach: your error cannot be fixed. you have to use the newest version of the mymusic-plugin, this should work. i am working on a skin-update and couldn't reproduce your errors. those "@name"s you see come frome the new skin-behaviour of the my-series.

@all others: i will post an updated version of this skin in the next few hours. it will support the updated weather-plugin, myvideos v4.0 and the new features of the last release (recordings-screen, osd and so on). xrecord will be integrated, too, but i don't know, if the position of the menu-buttons is correct, since i get an ICOMPARER-error, when trying to run xrecord:

for the next few weeks i will concentrate on integrating more plugins. video-archiver and guide2j are on my todo-list. if you want more plugins to be supported by this skin, just let me know!

[dottore]

ok, here we are, you can download the new version from the wiki. let me know, if you encounter some problems.

one issue i've found a few minutes ago: the green bubble in myVideos is at the wrong position.

enjoy!

[dottore]

another issue(s): browsing the mini-guide i saw, that the position of the channel-icon is wrong. will fix that in the next couple of days. same problem when recording: the red dot has a wrong position.

try it and give feedback, i will fix the minor issues in the next days.

Dottore,

Great work man! Just a few color comments for consideration:

The skinned OSD looks ok on my computer, but on the MVP, the color of the timeline bar doesn't contrast enough against the roundedrectangle container and the info panel on the bottom should probably be a few shades darker for better contrast against the show playing in the background.

The orange lettering in the menu system is also too light and doesn't contrast well against the blue bars or the green bars when an item is highlighted. Orange is absolutely the right color, but perhaps the shade needs to be darker or the font needs more weight.

To really nit-pick , the TV guide has great contrast, but the slate-blue doesn't have good fung-shei with the primary blue used throughout the theme. I've tried different colors here and haven't any luck finding a nice color either...

Any changes you could make on the first two contrast issues would really be appreciated. Thanks again.

[dottore]

thank you for the feedback, the osd has to be overdone, i'm working on it. the progress-bar doesn't contrast well, i thouhgt of a white bar... or maybe yellow.

i'll try a bit!

Yeah, I think the orange or the green from the existing palette would good too!
