New Skin: Contour

[reven]

it remembers what view you last used for each directory, and if one isnt set it will use the parent view (in theory).

I am deeply impressed. It looks great on my laptop at work... I will try at home on my tv after New Years. Good job!

I love this skin on PC and MVP! Thanks for doing all the My series. Just want to share a shot of how I've done the buttons (I guess I like blue) and placed the vis insert.

Thanks for everyones efforts.

I tried the new additon's on my laptop and my actual PVR at home. Really nice. It looks great. I like what was done with the Music panel.

I had tried to get the music panel implemented myself, but I like the current implemenation better. I had reduced the size of the "inset" panel, and placed it under the "black info box" rather then have the inset fill the box. Then I crammed all the panels into the black box. The current arrangement of panels looks much better and is eaiser to read.

My 2 year old still loves to watch the visualations, when I play Christmas Music.

If the visualiations panel is working on the main menu will it still come on as the screen saver? My GBPVR box is not currently doing this. I'm not sure if its supposed to or not.

Thanks for a great Skin.

You might be on to something... the visualizations don't work for the screensaver on mine either. It used to work with version .95.11. But when I upgraded to .95.16, the vis quit working all together and I had to hack in the wmppia file to get the visuals to even work in the music library.

Personally, I'd rather have it as a screensaver instead of taking up the whole 'info box' also. I really like where Roy placed it, but unless you change the vis to the vertical bars, the random battery of visuals look kinda wierd in an oblong box. All the random psychodelic (sp) colors and patterns showing up with the screensaver was too cool.

Thanks for the comments.

Perhpas its something we need to change in the config file or it just doesn't work.

Sub, can you comment?

I'm not sure why its not working for you guys. It works here.

[A_Brass]

Sub, did you try it with Contour or ContourHC? If not could you?

A_Brass & Torque: what kicks in instead of the visualization? The GBPVR one? The VA Panel one?

[sub]

Good point. It is important to note that the visualizations only work with the default screen saver, not other ones like the VA Panel screen saver etc.
