Hi everyone.
I've been using XBMC on Xbox for quite a while now, and it really is the best piece of software I've ever seen. In fact, I keep my Xbox only because of this program, without it, it would probably gather dust somewhere.
But, HD came into play and of course, the Xbox can't be used anymore with those high def' movies things. So I've decided to use my PC from now on, and tried to install XBMC on it.
I was amazed by the fact that it works exactly the same as the Xbox version. That's a really great job here for sure.
However, I seem to have one tiny problem with the colors : it seems the color depth is quite low with the skins, giving them washed out colors. I don't know how to exactly describe it, but let's say that it looks like XBMC boots in 16-bits instead of 32, for a point of comparison. Of course, my desktop color depth is set to 32-bits, and ironically XBMC doesn't bot when it is set at 16.
I tried with the regular skin, Project Mayhem III, and with MediaStream, and they both have this issue. Videos look fine however, so I don't know what is wrong exactly with the skins. I see no possibility to set color depth in XBMC (maybe a setting somewhere in an XML file?), so I have no idea how to fix it.
Or is it supposed to be that way? On my Xbox those skins look much better, so I don't know...
Well, that's it. Thank you for your attention, and for any help you could bring
.
PS : Here are some screenshots in case I didn't make myself clear (and I'm sorry if that's the case, I just don't know how to describe it).
