A few more fixes and adjustments:

- Weather info can now (again) be delivered on the Home page, only this time it fade-cycles with the regular Time/Date info and uses the one panel

- The destinations of home menu options can now be defined via the Custom menu

- All skin settings can be reset to default via the Custom menu, also assigning default values to the above

- Live tutorials have been extended to every major screen, now fading rather than scrolling with correct timings

- Vignetting (optional) has been added to fullscreen views

when can we expect a new download?

I must say that you have done an AMAZING job with this skin. It is just stunning, but more than that it is also functional. It is rare to see a skin for anything that is so visually appealing and yet functional as well.

Unfortunately I am still stuck with a standard def 4:3 TV so using this skin out of the box is really not an option Sad

I don't know if I am capable of doing it, but would it be ok if I was to hack away at this to try and make a version that would work on my TV?


- djh_ - 2008-01-02

You're more than welcome. Big Grin

New build should be ready before too long. Just have to fix some new issues with Linux XBMC and pretty up the fullscreen views. I'm also fixing the dimensions for the standard Poster view - they've been off since day one. Also going to redo all the glass textures as the more recent ones (used for the Music view, for instance) were just recycled old ones, and it shows.

djh_ just want to say thank you for such a great skin.

I was also wondering were is backpack 4?

Can't wait for the next build.

you're doing fullscreen (4:3) stuff now?


- djh_ - 2008-01-02

New poster view. The poster dimensions are correct now, at least for the average one-sheet.

damnit, now I have to update my media library to have no missing posters Smile that looks super sweet!


- ewequeone - 2008-01-02

Jason.

Dude, this skin plus the increasing amount of high def content that's *available* has me obsessing about LinuXbmc way more than I obsess about devouring the flesh of the living while riding on the back of a wooly mammoth. Yeah! Big Grin

If you take Ambien, you should go to bed and fall asleep. Sounds easy enough, yet I consistenly don't do so. Hence the ramblings of my previous paragraph...

ewequeone, Not sure where other people got their posters from...but I made a pack full of hundreds of Movie Posters, you can download it here:

http://putstuff.putfile.com/59797/4488843
I personally grabbed 500+ posters: Changed its dimensions to fit into xbmc perfectly. I also edited all of them, I took away small fonts you wouldn’t be able to read (Like critic reviews), Quotes from Movie, Enlarged the Movie Title if necessary, etc.

I also have a personal SVN full of DVD Posters which has more then the above, I don't have the link handy, but if anyone wanted it, I'll search around for it...The SVN should have about 1,000 DVD Posters and includes all the TV Show Episode Thumbnails for tons of shows

djh,

Is there any chance I could get a hold of your source images so I could make changes where necessary as I work on the 4:3 version? I've already started and done a lot but its obvious there will be many areas where the underlying graphics will need to be changed to fit the square theme.
