XBMC PMIII Skin.

[djdafreund]

Thanks again for the props, it does help a lot. Believe me. I am conferring with a few people to make a few changes to a couple different things to make the rest possible. I'm about 80% done with it. Reven has been working with me on it, and is a big help.

Thank to Sub(You better know who this is!!), Reven(Without his 'My' plugins, a lot of the skin wouldn't quite work the same, as well as his skin contributions to go along with his plugins, and other help in other area's), & Jeff(weather plugin creator- for adding a certain feature, requested by me) It just wouldn't be the same skin. So thanks a bunch to you guys for sure!!! In a way, it's kind of my contribution to the scene to give back the enjoyment i myself get from using GBPVR. Mostly, as i just couldn't quite take a liking to the available skins, as nice as some are, i just loved the PM3 skin so much as a highly regular XBMC user, i couldn't resist but to port it over to GBPVR.

Also, Reven throughout this, is making a 16x9 version of the PM3 skin for you avid 16x9 fans out there, so there will be a 4x3, and 16x9 version available just so you know. No time frame will be given, but things are coming along nicely so far.

I finally got around to getting a good program to allow snapshots since you can't take them otherwise. Here they are.

What's wrong with the PrintScreen button on your keyboard?

[djdafreund]

For whatever reason my PrnScn button doesn't capture. So i installed HyperSnap-DX, which works fine. Guessing GBPVR uses DX to draw the graphics? (Baffled)

Edit- Well, for whatever reason it's working now. Tried it at least a dozen times before, and didn't do anything. All i did since then is install HyperSnap-DX. Can't figure that out. Guess it's not DX i was thinking of after all as the reason. Who knows. Oh well.

Yes, it does capture, to the clipboard.
Open any graphics program, and hit CTRL+V.

edit: just read your edit...

Ding Ding Ding .... Just want to know if there is any progress
I'm ready to switch from BlueMCE2 !

im slowly working on it, i have to redo the my series plugs so doing this at the same time. im on holiday/unemployed so should move a lot faster now. well from my end (im doing the widescreen version).

[djdafreund]

I have a few things i am waiting on. One of them is key essential, which is going to be made possible in the next update. Something Sub is adding for me. I'd say about 80% of it it done, but i won't release it any sooner til it's 100% complete. Well, ok, maybe 98-99%. Of course there will be little tweaks i might miss, and go back when people discover them.
Another is the 'My Video' section, Reven is working on the plugin/skin that goes hand in hand with that.

And the final is the Horizontal Weather addition which was included by the author and added so that is now possible, but i have to now do it, and finish that. I've been pretty busy, and Reven is also been busy, and i haven't been home but maybe 20 % of the time over the past month or so, but i am just as anxious to finish it, as others are to start using it. I am working on it with the little time i have. It'll be worth the wait though.

Reven has been very helpfull with me on things throughout. Thanks again Reven. Some things probably wouldn't even have been looking the same if he didn't add certain changes to his plugins to MAKE it work. (My Pictures,My Muisc, soon My Videos.)

It's me once again... Is something new there ?

[reven]

we're still working away at it, so dont worry this skin will still be released (one day).

[djdafreund]

I'm affraid not. Development has been on hold and is temporarily on hold til prob. til after the holidays. Too many things going on. Sorry, It will definitely be finished some time, just no date set on it. Also, i have been in too many scene's for too many years, and i'm the last person that will give ANY clue's or hint's on info or releases. I will just release it, and say "Ok, here it is!!!". And maybe some progress shots here and there. But in the end, i know all will appreciate it, and will just be thinking of nothing more then, "Cool!! It's out to use now as my new default skin!!!"
