i think i'm just going to remove the rss feed entirely.
it looks out of place anywhere on the home screen.

i understand that some people like it, but it really doesn't work well with this skin.
yes it can be disabled, but it is there by default.

jazkal, you can always add it to home.xml yourself if you really want it.

ok, thanks. that'll work for me. will this code put the option in the settings section(item with the checkmark)?

pin87a · 2004-09-12, 04:42

i guess i will leave the item in the settings page as it is.

why don't you put the time in the bottom left where it belongs?

there wasn't enough room.

the space underneath the amount of objects text is unusable because of potential overscan issues.
i can't move all of the items on the page up to make room for the same reason on the top.

if i remove the "record" button (does anyone use it?), and decrease the amount of buttons on the "my programs" screen i could probably fit the musicoverlay stuff down there where it belongs.

it will be great, if you add ttf support for ui.
you can add font sets for ttf font on your font.xml.

with different size of font, characters on the menu and button are not vertically aligned. they are always on the top.

thanks

pin87a, you are awesome. this is the best looking xbmc skin ever.
:kickass:

what would it take to make this default skin for future builds of xbmc? project mayhem is nice and all, but this really looks like a media center application. so, who do we need to bribe? :thumbsup:

pin87a · 2004-09-12, 20:07

a few updates:

- fixed button text offset on pal displays (stupid typo :p)
- changed small icon view so it displays 12 icons instead of 8.
- removed the rss feed from the home page (it just didn't look right)

updated download link in the original post..

i like it. :d

to give credit where credit is due samsonite and mrmario64 who created the original mediaportal skin are responsible for bringing this skin to life.

i just replaced the images in my "blue swirl" skin and modified the xml to make it work. Smile

hey pin87a, where did you get those sweet emulator icons and how did you make them your thumbs? thanks!

about this not enough room for the music thing in the bottom left corner:

if you moved the page heading ("music" "programs" etc) up a little, and made the heading text shorter, and moved the buttons and crap up a little untill they were right under the heading text, then you might have enough room.

because looking at those images of the real one, and whats on the tv screen, the heading text seems further up and shorter in the real one. but is this more of a resolution problem than anything else?

great skin how it is anyway, especially with the 12 icons.

pin87a · 2004-09-13, 04:34

-edit-

forget the long description. :p

here is what it currently look like on the bottom.
i can push some the items on the screen up a little bit, but not enough to make a big difference.

if you guys think it looks better this way then i will move it to the bottom the next time i do an update. Smile

trogdor · 2004-09-13, 22:04

nahhh, that looks too cluttered in the lower left. it's good up top where it's at. maybe an hdtv version of the skin at 720p would give more room for that down there, but the 480 pixel one doesn't. Sad
