Introduction from the wiki....
This is a ‘Blue’ skin with an appealing ‘Retro’ theme which is reflected in the backgrounds, images, icons, fonts and colours used. This results in a ’Visibility Enhanced’ skin which is effective over a wide range of devices from large widescreen TVs to 14” 4x3 portables, whether directly attached to a PC or served by NMT/MVP extenders.

Although it has matured over the years into a smooth and elegant skin suitable for all users, it still meets the original design objective which was that tired old eyes could clearly see the 29” TV on the other side of the room and Mrs Jaggy could read the Main Menu and Recordings Menu on her 14” TV.

I have just uploaded version 2.0 & updated the first post in this thread with the install files & the next couple of post with some new screenshots.

There are so many changes that to be honest I can't remember them all, basically 95% of it is different to the last (1.4) release version.

Great work Jaggy - as usual... it means I can put off buying new glasses for another few months...

I have updated the first message to link to the BlueRetroVE+ page on the N-PVR section of the wiki that steeb has been working on.

Jaggy - Great work ... one puzzlement ... How do you get the Icons to show up in the "Ready Recordings?
e.g. Cold feet above.

Scotch that - sub changed GBPVR/Media/art to NPVR/Media/Shows .. I just copied the icons across... :o

Now we just need to get the authors of ProgramImageTool.exe and WizImageGrabber.exe to change the recipient directory so my postprocessing.bat, which downloads these after a show is recorded, then auto-downloads to the new dir ...

Great, glad you got it sorted out by yourself, I have just been using the get cover/metadata from new plugin Searchlite, once the cover is in the shows directory it will use it for all future recordings of that show so it's a once only thing to get them.
