BlueMCE2-X cleanup project

[Fatman_do]

I made a BlueMCE2 Theme with TitleText instead of the TitleLogos
This ScreenName was OK...in my eyes. Try it.

<TextStyle name="ScreenName" color="#6699CC" typeFace="Arial" size="38" style="bold"/>

Yeah I tried that, it was good enough. If there was a way to add transparency to a text string....

Are you talking about the files in the root of the zip, or those in the _CommonImages folder?

Did I mess that up? Let me check. Ok, I fixed it (I think )

I wanted the folder to be _CommonImages, but not the zip file name. Got lost in all the thinking going on in my hollow noodle.

I think that ButtonPopup_normal and selected should be kept in the list.
I must use them with themes that has menu buttons located directly to the left edge of screen. ButtonPopup is also more describing than ButtonSmall.

In baseskin.xml yes, but no need for seperate images. Its the baseskin's <DrawImage> tag the defines the leftmost edge.

See?

Code:

<CompositeImage name="PopupSelectedButtonImage" size="155,40">
<DrawImage filename="_CommonImages\Button_Selected.png" size="150,40" loc="0,0" />

<CompositeImage name="SelectedButtonImage" size="180,40">
<DrawImage filename="_CommonImages\Button_Selected.png" size="165,40" loc="15,0"/>

He is referring to buttons that have a flattened off edge on the left side. They look out of place in a popup.

Unless Button_MainMenuSelected is used in both instances and Button_Selected is then used for popups.

I think maybe because of this, popups need to be added.

Some plugins I think don't use a PopupSelectedButtonImage composite image, how do you get around that mixman?

Have a look at the Avance Theme and you will see what I mean.

There is a popup in the TVguide/recordings the uses normal menu buttons. I have "hardcoded" the image to use, so the right button shape/size to be used.
That is not good that normal buttons are used in a popup. I don't know if Sub will change that, but I have asked him to.

OK I get it now. :o

Add them back into the list

Ok. I think that run-down is pretty good then.

Will fix up the list later (unless you want to update it).
