"Community Skin" testers needed.

First congratulations for this realy nice piece of work.
I have tested the 29-11 download over the weekend. The reason of having a look here was because of the lack of maintenance of my favourite ContourHC skin.

What I noticed is that it now takes 2 minutes before my GBPVR client on the server starts. It is unclear to me how i must properly uninstall the plugin. I did remove stuff from the 'plugins dir' and I deleted some files from the gbpvr dir. Unfortunately it remains slow.

Secondly I found the font in the contourHC look-alike rather big (I remember somebody else posted this comment as well).

Once I have resolved the slowness of my GBPVR client I will defintely try again

Are you using the ContourHC or the HiVis-ContourHC theme? All HiVis themes have larger fonts.

Not sure why it is slow, will have to set up a client to check out performance. If you remove the skinplugin from plugins folder does it speed up performance?

What plugins are you using for the client, so I can compare.

thanks for the response,
I am not at my machine at the moment. I think I was using the HiVis. Apart from your stuff I had the plugins as indicated in my signature. I have not tried this on the PC client, but on the GBPVR server.

I had removed the SKIN plugin before I reported.

After I rebooted the machine the GBPVR client was responsive again as before. I normally do not reboot that machine, as it tends not to recognise one of the drives at reboot.

For the time being don't bother. I hope I have time to test again at the end of this month.

Ok, just wasn't clear on your first post you removed the SkinPlugin, that is why I asked.

I still may check out the Client and compare it to blue using the same plugins to see if there is a performance issue. If restarting clears up the issue, and doesn't return, then maybe something in the mix didn't like how the install is done.

Will be adding "GameZone" and "International Cinema Listings" plugins in the next update.
