Firstly, thanks for taking the time to read this. I know the developers (and other problem solvers) have got a lot on their plates, and the fact that they take the time to read about everyone's problems/complaints/bugs/whining shows just how much they care about the work they're doing... and subsequently making available for free. So thank you!
That being said - I'm experiencing an interesting, though not debilitating, problem with XBMC. Specifically, any skin I try to load appears pixelated in different places. I can still navigate the menus (for the most part) easily. Video plays perfectly fine with no hiccups or "artifacts." But the skins and especially their menus, seem to be mis-rendering.
I am experiencing the problem with PM3.HD, Confluence, and Rapier. Had it just been a single skin, I'd post in that skin's appropriate forum; but as I'm experiencing this complication across multiple skins, my next thought was that I'm having some form of incongruous system problem.
And so as to not incur the wrath of davilla - here's all the pertinent information:
Basic Info
OSX Version: 10.4.11
Platform: 15" MacBook Pro
Install Method: DMG
CPU: 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
RAM: 1 GB
SVN Revision: XBMC 9.11 r26018 (Compiled: Dec 23 2009)
Video Info
Vendor: ATI
Chipset: ATY,RadeonX1600 OpenGL Engine
OpenGL version: 2.0 ATI-1.4.56
VRAM: 128 MB
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.068
Resolution: 1440 x 900 @ 60.00 - Full Screen 60.10 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Debug Log: http://pastebin.com/f71598083
Steps to Re-create: None. This is a clean install of XBMC, with the default PM3.HD and Confluence skins loaded. I performed a simple install of Rapier. The problem seems to occur naturally on my system when trying out the different skins.
I've also attached a few (6) screenshots to help better illustrate the problem I'm having.
Confluence - Home
Barely legible main menu due to serious pixelation.
Confluence - Settings
Very obviously a problem in the middle of the screen, menu header, and less-obviously around the left and right edges.
PM3.HD - Library Mode in Cover Flow
All along the bottom of the covers.
PM3.HD - Menu Issues
Both the "Sort by" radio button and context menu are scrambled.
Rapier - Home
It may be hard to see, but the pixelation is appearing amidst the menu items at the bottom.
Rapier - Submenu
The problem is much more visible in this shot once a main menu item has been selected and the submenu is visible.
I'm sorry if all of my information and screenshots seem overkill; but I'd much rather give the developers more information than they need, rather than less.
And if this problem was already resolved in a previous thread, I very humbly apologize. I tried to perform a thorough search to the best of my abilities before posting all of this; but came up with nothing.
