[DEV] Progress

[McBainUK]

How is everyone getting on? I think the installer script is settled, some of the resources graphics not so...

I wonder if it would be worth trialling a CS-SD installer just to see if it works. I'd like to add my work in progress SkinPlugin4 DLLs to get some early feedback on the UI changes.

I'll have some free time over the weekend to get an installer package together. Be nice to see how far we've got - what do you think?

I am available for testing. Feel free to PM me if you want me to have a look at early materials.

We'll have to make sure all images are in the SVN build. There were some missing, the last time I tried a test build. I'll also double check a few other legacy plugins vs. the latest baseskin.

Do you mean in the _CoreImages folder?

Do you guys need any further graphics from my end, to build the test installer?

Going from memory, at least the normal main menu button was missing. Seems like there were others. To continue my testing I just dumped the CS3 images into CS-SD

Edit:
Bullet ball colors, folder icons, among others.

You had mentioned before you did some tweaks to the recordings skin but did not send them. We could add that.

[Fatman_do]

Added missing images, cleaned up some others. Also tweaked a few xmls with image names. Added Title_Bar.png back in (was the screen name header image thing Hairy created.)

Played with adding metadata stuff to VideoLibrary. Not the best, but it is a start. I wanted it to be as unobtrusive as much as possible.

It will be in the test version if released this weekend.

Just an update on where I'm at and what I'd like to get done.

Graphics:

Default and dark graphics - 90%
Gloss+matte - Rounded+square selectors - 50%
3 different task images sets - 75%
3 different (4/6 colour variations) NavigationIndicators - 0%
Reworked folder icons - 0%
background mask views - 0%

Formatting:

4 default plugin views tweaked - 100% (?) - *see xml thread
Several meta data layouts 90% - (?) -*
Several TVGuide layouts 100% - (?) -*
Large/Hi-vis Base skin 100% - (?) -*

mainmenu layouts 50%

• align left
  
• Gb Logo (rather than CS logo)
  
• No Logo
  
• No time/desc hi-light
  
• align Right
  
• Gb Logo (rather than CS logo)
  
• No Logo
  
• No time/desc hi-light
  
• align Center
  
• Gb Logo (rather than CS logo)
  
• No Logo
  
• No time/desc hi-light
  
• Slick/Horizontal
  
• Gb Logo (rather than CS logo)
  
• No Logo
  
• No time/desc hi-light
  

I think the above gives a huge degree of personalization, and virtually all of it should be reusable with other themes. I'm guessing that it'll take me at least a couple of weeks .

I put a bunch of stuff up on SVN..Added missing images, cleaned up some others.

Does that mean we have a complete skin now?
