Basic Skin & Themes

Great work, MixMan. It looks very nice on my MediaMVP.

Thanks. All feedback with things that should be modified or satisfactory are always welcome.

How about SphereBlack theme

[reboot]

Great work on Sphere Black, although it appears nothing like the picture above once installed.
How does one go about saving a theme, once it's built?
I've modified one to my liking, similar to a few others, but with a totally redone TV guide.

Also have a problem with the recordings screen. See pic below.

R>eboot. Find below section in the recordings XML and try to adjust the @subtitle X loc value.
I don't have subtitle info in my EPG XMLs, so I cant test it.

I've been playing with Basic Skin and a few themes over recent days - some have good eye candy, so have been nice to do demos to friends. Definitely a lot less boring than the blue skin.

I did one thing though, the you tube plugin does look right. When you click the web button you only see about four category items even though there is space for like eight. You'll probably need to try this screen with the blue skin to see what I mean.

I have tried it with the Blue skin and there is still only 4 cathegories.
I have no idea why?
