new theme

[goosey]

Nice skin. I like it very much, but with a couple of tweaks:

The name on the background image "GBPVR" gets covered over all the time.

The font needs to be a bit more bold....or is this the issue that others are getting - but in reverse?

Hi Fini,

I think your problem stems from the positioning and style of the standard recording buttons.
The popups inherit these.
To change the size of the buttons, it's not the fint size that defines it, but the selected button image and normal button image (which may just be rounded filled rectangles, or could be an image).

Im at work at the moment, but I will hopefully be posting a theme tonight, and I had a similar, but not as severe problem.
I used a language.xml file to rename some of the controls, and this allowed me to shrink the image sizes so that they didn't mash into the text (or each other in the case of exit / delete ).

Cheers

Mark

i agree it is very sexy.

could you flip the images so that instead of the screen being rotate facing away from the menu can you make it face it?  ie do a horizontal flip of the icons, it just looks kinda wierd them facing away.  also instead of the computer monitor could you use a television screen (widescreen one even), i know these are big changes and if you dont want to change it i understand, just suggestions, still looks #### sexy thou

oh and yeah some things are out of align, text, like video library is starting in the blue thing at the top (btw this is really sexy, i love your design of this icons etc)

and some things dont look like you've changed them for ur theme like the net radio looks the same as the default them just diff background,(or is this the plugins fault?)

and can you add a box or something in the tv guide for the shows description, looks wierd without it

sorry for moaning so much

hey i changed some of the icons, tvs etc, but i cant seem to change their positions and sizes, i replaced the 4:3 screen with a 16:9 one and trying to adjust it to the right dimensions, is this possible or are these settings hardcoded?

[fini]

reven the net radio icon is based on the radio icon (pretty obvious that) which was designed by me. I figured as they were both radio they could get away with the same icon (but the net radio does have a monitor in it to differentiate).

Reven, the settings your looking for are held in the skin.xml files. For the main menu the file you want is the skin.xml file in the main menu folder (wow!.

As I mentioned a while back somewhere else on these forums I've currently got two other skins on the go, but I've been moving into uni and blah de blah so I've been busy. I should get some work done on this and the other themes on sunday though so everyone should look out for an update late sunday.

New version uploaded with a load of changes taking into account a lot of the changes people have requested and a few you haven't. It's still available via the link on page 1.

That's a very fine looking skin!

I notice on the screen where you tell a recording to play and such, that the play, delete, back buttons appear in the middle of the description, and are hard to read since they are over the text.
