Modified Reflect theme for the Community Skin - BETA

[daphatty]

No worries - I know exactly what you meant, but I wanted to explain why I have some limits set. Backups are a real problem for me.

Sounds like it's time to prune the forum database.

Don't happen to have a matching OSD and miniguide with this release do you?

I think the OSD and miniguide are outside what the skin plugin changes dynamically. Changing these has a kind of global effect, that is they effect all the CS themes. I try my best to stay out of the "skin2\Community3" sandbox and play in the "SkinPlugin\Resources" one .

I like the way the guide shows channel number + logo but my miniguide is still showing logo + name like original Reflect theme.

I've had a bash at changing the live-skin to copy the TVGuide - Alternate formatting, so you could try that out and see how you get on. Copy it in to the "....\skin2\Community3\TV Guide" folder. I've tried to change as little as possible but back up the original before you copy this one over..........safety first

........kittens are cute, maybe GBpvr needs a kitten theme :p

Maybe some lolcats.

edit: the rest. I think my themes are mixed up.

Thanks for taking a look at it for me Hairy. Using your alt live-skin file I'm getting number + logo on the miniguide. The only problem I see with it is the logo location. On a channel with three digits the third number overlaps the logo image and is unreadable. If the logo could be moved one or two spaces to the right then it would fit perfect. Thanks again and hate to be a pain. Really like this skin though and I'm pretty confident it's going to be on my system for good long time. ( Unless of course you make another new one that trumps this. )

Edited to add that I changed the loc="20,2" to loc="28,2" and it all fits perfect now.

Cool, I'm glad it worked out.

I'm really wary of suggesting any of my edited xml's, simply because I can't test everything out. Your snag is a great example, I have a grand total of 8 TV channels so to be honest 3 digit numbers never even occurred to me :o. I'd hate to be making things worse with my amateur exploits :eek:.

I would call your exploits anything but amateur. There is a reason behind everything you do.

You just lack the many "Doh!!" moments I had to endure (and still do).:p

Thank you for this theme, it is just the thing I have been looking for.
One question: The screen saver comes up with the GBPVR logo, but also includes the text "@songname" over the logo. Not sure if this is your theme or if it is a general community skin issue, since your theme is the only one I use.
In an ideal world I would like no text unless there is a song playing on Net Radio. If this is not possible (and I suspect this to be the case), how do I just eliminate the "@songname" text completely?

[Fatman_do]

When I get home tonight I'll check this out for you.

edit this file..

C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\Skin2\Community3\Screen Saver\skin.xml

Delete the line in red, or better yet add <!-- at the beginning and --> at the end of the line. It disables the line, and allows you to remove those later if you wish to enable the line again.

Code:

<settings>
    <!-- Text style -->
    <TextStyles>
    </TextStyles>

    <!-- Placements -->
    <Placements>
        <Placement name="ScreenSaverPanel" loc="10.5,55"/>
    </Placements>
