slowly change lite to dark would be even more great (and hardly doable)

hardly doable is an understatement, it´s nearly impossible (for several reasons)

[thrak76]

Sounds like pretty cool idea. Customizable time would be a key feature though.

ok, seems that it won´t become reality that easily
the Skin.Theme() built-in action doesn´t work properly here, i can only switch back to default theme, but not vice-versa.
can anyone confirm?

theme file updated btw (now only 20mb instead of 55mb + doesn´t replace white_floor theme anymore)

I downloaded the updated file, but it's only ~650 kb? Is that correct?

[phil65]

sorry, didn´t update link. done now.

The little things that get updated with every git pull are really polishing this theme. Especially the way that color is being handled. Very nice.

I'm wonder if it's possible (or even of interest to you) to add a bit of the area color glow to the logos in the wall viewtype? Lighter colored logos are getting washed out.


I was thinking to use a similar glow like the one used in the shift viewtype...


This would enhance it just ever so slightly, and perhaps enough to make those logos (even the darker ones) stand out just a bit more. What do you think?

Code:

if (parameter.size()>2)
    {
    strSkinTheme = parameter;
    g_guiSettings.SetString("lookandfeel.skintheme",parameter.c_str());
    }
    else
    {
        if (iTheme==-1)
      g_guiSettings.SetString("lookandfeel.skintheme","skindefault");
        else
      g_guiSettings.SetString("lookandfeel.skintheme",strSkinTheme);
    }

didn't test it but technically it would add the ability to parse the skin name example Skin.Theme("thetheme")

even better, then i wouldn´t need some workaround.
would be nice if that would make it in. thx.

When a tvshow only has one season, the season poster is not displayed in episode view. I'm used to that, and I guess that's just how it is - but, when you have the Glow set to Extended in the area color settings for the Episode viewtype (at the episode level), then there is the glow around the non-existent poster.

Like so:

ill make a patch with better handling of this and propose it.
That code don't check if you have or don't have the theme
