but I wondered if this is just a problem for me or for others as well.

Unfortunately pcostanza I'm not much use for this one. If you'd like a new background though, I'm yer man .

Updated with new background.

Don't you think Hairy should get credit in the wiki as a "Contributor"?

one thing: The fonts are rather small in a few places, especially Music Library 2 but also the show description on both the OSD and when you select a show in tv listings.

I will add him to that list, an oversight on my part. I did mention he provided the theme in the changelog on the wiki. I need to post some screen shot images there as well.

I am out of town right now for the week, so it may take a while. Thanks for mentioning it.

It looks like there is an OSD fix that I need to include. You can manually edit the baseskin.xml file and change the size listed for the Default Textstyle. Try "14" for starters.

One of the Ideas I passed by McBainUK that we may look into providing is having the SkinPlugin give you the opportunity to modify text size, color, and font. Not in the immediate future, but a long term goal.

I love the skin but I'm still having some problems like I did with the earlier versions. When viewing Xrecord/Videos, the rectangular boxes are infringing upon the videos below them and in Reoccurring, you can see the text is still overlapping. I may be able to use the Skin menu to tweak the text but I wondered if this is just a problem for me or for others as well.
Great work and thanks for getting it out quickly.

pcostanza, are you using the latest beta build of Xrecord? The wiki does not update when Fla just uploads the same file. There have been changes as recent as last week. I didn't see the text problems in the second shot, but I did bugger up the icon backgrounds. (I went the wrong direction....oops).

When I get back from my business trip, I'll check the reoccurring screen on my HTPC to see if I get the problems.

Fatman, I had NOT updated XRecord in a bit but did do so after reading your posts (thanks). Some of the screen is improved and some got worse. The text issue being bunched up in the Reoccurring screen is fixed. However, in the Videos and Pending screens, the text is now mostly hidden behind the pics.

Hairy, what you see is after I used the OSD file you asked me to try. It's looking better but I have a way to go.

Thanks for the screen shots. I'll get this fixed one of these days
