BaseSkin v2.5 released

[Brian_W]

Sweet, thanks. I just used Fatman's advice and went in and adjusted the coordinates and sizing in the clock panel xml file and everything looks great. Downloaded several of the themes for BaseSkin and I must say, they are very nice. The wife really tripped out when I loaded the Theater theme. Good work.

Mixman,

Regarding the Reboot theme for the Baseskin, how easy is it to change the color of the buttons in a selected state? The wife was using it yesterday and in the guide when she hit enter to watch a channel, she had a hard time distinguising which button was selected as the shades of blue are very similar. I won't be able to look into it myself un til later today (off to a friend's wedding in a little bit), but if I can help out in this I will be happy to do so. Thanks.

Thank for you feedbacks Brian. Always good to get opinions.
I will change the popup background for Reboot so the buttons will be more visible.....also adjust the time/date layout.

Mhm, how about to make "Baseskin" as standard for GB-PVR?

[MixMan]

It might become one skin in the distribution.....thats how it started, with Subs question last year of a new skin design for GBPVR.
He hasn't made any applause yet to any design, but I think he likes the idea with the flexibility.
I think that the XML design is pretty good now ..... as good as Blue or ContourHC. My artistical skills are limited ...... the themes are mostly ports and compositions, nothing really new and original.
But none of the themes I have ported has had the WOW effect on me.
Mayhem3 is probably the best theme in my eyes.

Here is a kind port of the Carbon Fiber Theme by Baddabing at Xlobby

Yeah, but how about to make the BasicSkin idea Standard. I think it were a very good idea to implement the Basic of this Skinmodul into GB-PVR so that other Theme-Maker could use the structure as basis.

It's really cool and comfortable to change the skin within GB-PVR itself. Only one thing should be added in the Restart exe:

I am using GB-PVR EVERYTIME with high priority because LiveTV and other things shall NEVER EVER begin to stutter if i am working otherwise on the PC.

But if i change a skin and GB-PVR will be restarted it's, of course, only with "normal" priority. Is there an option to add the "start /high" command?
