Fatman_do Wrote:The top green bar is on all screens.Yes, this is correct. I am not sure, if i should put the RSS Feed on the Top, and Menu Title to the bottom, or vice versa. I am playing with this at the moment.
Fatman_do Wrote:The left dark gray bar is actually the background color in all screens.Yeah, right. I wanna place the buttons on it.
Fatman_do Wrote:The bottom green bar is on the main menu only.Yep, but not sure for which purpose: normally i don't often look down the picture, so there should be only Info, which i am not using often.
Fatman_do Wrote:The blue window (with gray border?) is the "Listview.png" for info boxes.Yes, this is true. For TV (inset?) and Visuals from the WMP the whole size; otherwise splitted for Weather and other VA-Panels
Fatman_do Wrote:Your buttons will be whatever your idea there is. (Single picture, button with task image, no button, ect.) I will need to know this as well.Yesterday you, or MixMan, posted a very good theme with really hot buttons! I like to use the bitmaps from these. They have 4 different states, i think. It's the one "Home Theater Control Center"; the buttons are wunderful. But i am thinking about double their width, because german language has often words which are longer then the englisch ones; but my wife don't understand any word in english.
Fatman_do Wrote:All plugins will only be 720x480 unless all plugins are reskinned (not all may support 16:9)That's not the problem; after i finisched my personal Theme with your help, i'll go over to skin all the Plugins i am using. I don't think, that many people are interested in my skin (first work), so that i have to reskin all by myself... with your help ;-)
It's really important for me, to make it widerscreen. I don't like resizing, because it never looks really good.
Fatman_do Wrote:It is more difficult to skin these than the main menu. Not all plugins are skinner friendly.Yeah, i think i know what you're meaning ^^; I had some experiences like this with my first try.
Fatman_do Wrote:Along the way, if you want to post a mock-up image of what you are looking for, that will help. It can be a very crude sketch. Ideas are important now versus actual images.You mean something like a preview?
