The problem is that an actual HTPC is more than just a multimedia center, particulary if you want it as a game station and a Multi Tuner Sat Receiver card ... so in this case you must have options to integrate a decent graphic card and a pci tvtuner ...
So that's the deal ... performance and a bigger case or limited performance and options with a small cute mediacenter ...
Everyone should make his own option and selection.
I need a coffee ...

PatrickBateman Wrote:Hi Svin,
Good to see you took my advice and gave CEv2 a try
If your having any issues with speed on your box (I'm on an ion/atom based pc) have you tried enabling support for .dds images to help load fanart etc faster? Also I disable a few options in CEv2 to help me retain my CPU cycles for the navigation of my HTPC. I disable animated weather icons, disable scrolling in now playing, hide images etc that are not needed such as studio logos for movies, I set all my backgrounds to the same image, only enable views I need and numerous other changes to help keep the skin lite and fast without Losing features.
It's the perfect skin for small HTPCs such as the revo as the functionality is amazing and looks so clean and official (especially with nowalls new artwork)
Glad to see you like it though and the trailers issue may be a thing of the past as el_p is currently working on a mew Menu for activating trailers etc so your prayers may be answered for the first issue
@nowall
I do need more pay it would always be a welcome suprise to get a pay rise, but a letter to intel wouldkore more use as it's that technology thats holding me back more than anything.. is not good enough for what I want lol

You better not be leaving... You've created a master piece here and it's getting bigger and better every day. I'm personally not a huge fan of aeon, it's a nice skin, but it's not suited to me needs. It's the kind of thing I'd expect to see on a water cooled gaming pc in the bedroom as It's "cool" and popwerful, but it's not what I want to show off my home cinema in the front room. CEv2 is elegant and classy and looks very professional and is a pleasure to use (thanks to you) and makes my front room home cinema look and feel very expensive
N.O.W.A.L.L Wrote:...4) I guess it's not possible, but I wish there was an option, just for the system tab at least, to select several pictures for a section background and make them slide, without animation but with just crossfade. This way I could have fun making, let's say, 2 or 3 slightly different icons on settings background per section, to obtain a kind of "pulsating light" effect of the icon, or for example an effect looking like shining gold with a light reflect running in the orange parts.
butchabay Wrote:It's great, but i think a kind of shining effect would be better than pulsating.I'll leave the pictures to someone who can turn out something professional, I just wanted to see if it could be done
Anyway nice work
