New Skin

[Dubya]

Hey Guys,

I was bored this morning so I threw this together... let me know what you think... I tried to upload the zip file. But it said document contains no data... But if anyone is interested in getting a copy just let me know and I can email it to you. Or if someone can tell me how to get the skin on here that would be even better.

Enjoy,

Dubya

Hey steeley7, I can help you with that.

In the skins directory you are using, there is a folder called mainmenu. In that folder is a file called skin.xml. The contents looks as such:
---------------------------------------------------------------
<settings>
<!-- text style -->
<TextStyles>
<TextStyle name="ButtonText" color="Yellow" typeFace="Verdana" size="14" style="bold"/>
<TextStyle name="TaskDescription" color="Yellow" typeFace="Tahoma" size="12" style="bold"/>
</TextStyles>

<!-- Composite Images -->
<CompositeImages>
<CompositeImage name="Background" size="720,480">
<DrawImage filename="..\background.jpg" loc="0,0" size="720,480"/>
</CompositeImage>

<CompositeImage name="SelectedButtonImage" size="186,45">
<DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="175,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="White" fillColor="DarkBlue"/>
<DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="15,7" size="175,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Left"/>
</CompositeImage>

<CompositeImage name="NormalButtonImage" size="186,45">
<DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="175,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="Black" fillColor="DarkBlue"/>
<DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="15,7" size="175,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Left"/>
</CompositeImage>

<CompositeImage name="CenteredSelectedButtonImage" size="186,45">
<DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="175,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="White" fillColor="DarkBlue"/>
<DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="15,8" size="175,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Center"/>
</CompositeImage>

<CompositeImage name="MoreUp" size="50,20">
<DrawImage filename="moreup.png" loc="0,0" size="50,20"/>
</CompositeImage>

<CompositeImage name="MoreDown" size="50,20">
<DrawImage filename="moredown.png" loc="0,0" size="50,20"/>
</CompositeImage>

</CompositeImages>

<!-- special elements -->
<SpecialElements>
<SpecialElement name="Buttons" loc="50,30" spacing="38" alwayCentered="false" maxVisibleButtons="10" allowTopBottomWrap="false" showNumbers="false"/>
<SpecialElement name="TaskDescription" visible="true" loc="125,433" size="475,50"/>
<SpecialElement name="TaskImage" visible="true" loc="260,100" size="300,300"/>
<SpecialElement name="MoreUp" loc="105,10"/>
<SpecialElement name="MoreDown" loc="105,415"/>
<!-- plugin panels -->
<!--
<SpecialElement name="Panel" panelName="Clock" visible="true" transparency="0.9" loc="400,1" size="220,70"/>
<SpecialElement name="Panel" panelName="NextRecording" visible="true" transparency="0.7" loc="225,1" size="490,70"/>
-->
</SpecialElements>

</settings>
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you remove the bolded comments from the SpecialElement name="Panel" section at the bottom, you will see the clock and next recordings.

Be warned though, for whatever reason, when the next recordings panel is enabled, the entire system slows down, and occasionally the remote stops functioning.
