added a .cof file to the svn here for it


Obviously put it in /Vision/extras/ColorThemes/ folder

As always, U da man Jezz_X. Thanks..

The Blaze theme is super-sweet!

Just one question though - what's the visualisation using the album covers in this screengrab? Is it one of the many milkdrop ones or one completely different?

I know only from the “VORTEX” VIS, I believe that is it.

I have yet to put a button in the OSD for it but

Hey jezz_x

I took the liberty to edit the smartplaylist.xml and smartplaylistrule.xml, hope you can you use it.

here's a link for the xml, extract to PAL folder;

Enjoy

phin.

Thanks man was just thinking about getting to these you saved me abotu 98% of the work
Its in SVN now so now I can add the ratings to the lists and do the favorites window

Yep, "AlbumArtZoomer" preset

hi...can someone tell me how to get the latest vision becouse i cant get it to when i get it with tortoise svn the pal folder is missing:(

the rss feed using the Blaze orange theme and text theme has orange and black text which I feel is pretty unreadable on the orange background - would it not be easier if the black text remained white as with the other text colour themes (green, pink and blue)

Honestly I wasn't sure about that because white looked real unreadable too Black stood out on the orange white blended in
Just make your own .cof file in the color themes folder and use that

Hi,

Love the skin and all the themes coming through - great work to all involved.

I have some feedback - I am using Pal 4:3.

I don't like the streaks that List_Focus_Wide.png puts over Big Wide Icons. Its not that noticeable on black icons but on light coloured icons it looks funny, especially as when the icon is not highlighted it looks normal. If this is the style of the skin that's ok as I have already edited it.

Home screen settings icon - what is it? All the other icons are quite easy to distinguish.

The AnnaNicole theme needs the home icons for settings, weather, scripts etc in pink. The time widget also needs to be pink. The background is very blocky and I get different pixelations of the picture at the top right of screens.

DJ Toll - Did you mean to leave the blue highlight line on the programs folder under settings in the green theme?

Thanks,

I am having the exact same problem, so if anyone has any fix ideas or a nice compiled build uploaded somewhere, that would be great.

@gac

The streaks over the Big Wide Icons can be disabled bring go to settings bring up the sidebar and then skin settings.

I don't know what the settings icon is either i think the scripts icons fits better for the
settings maybe a new scripts icon would be better

Hey Jezz_X, can you post a link to the Ana theme your using in those screen caps? The one posted when first made, I had posted it had some weird things going on with it. Though in your screencaps the weird things dont look like they are happening. I re-dl it from the original link, but still has the same issues. Are you using a updated one?

Thanks.

Thanks, I agree about the scripts icon too.

By the way where can I dl the Vortex visualisation from?

Go to settings-->music--->general tab---> change the visualisation to vortex

Its the same one I downloaded it from like page 10 for somthing to test







Download Latest version here
--> Vision_rev754.rar <--

Hey Jezz


tried incorporating the favourites into the home screen, it's only for the PAL 16x9.

http://www.4shared.com/file/15644660/3104a...favourites.html

Cheers mate,

Just realised your from Ozland aswell, i'm from Melbourne.

hope you can use it.

OH, also added a Play DVD (couldn't get this one to hide if no DVD Media was present), TV shows, Movie Library buttons to the home screen Media slide.

The favourites menu doesn't exit when pressing the back button, only the menu button, i was trying to install an visible button like in the dialog submenu couldn't get it to work...... may you could do some magic.

http://www.4shared.com/file/15645607/4186f...MyMusicNav.html

Filter mode for music library.

Where does it let you disable the black streaks over the wide icons? The only thing I see in the Skin Settings related to that is to turn off the fade, but not the black streaks.

thanx for uploading vision

Yeah completely forgot about that button because I didn't add it to PM3 jmarshall did

as for the favourites thanks but I have my own ideas

Yeah I tried this last night and disabling Alpha blending doesn't fix the problem. The streaks are part of the list_focus_wide.png which is overlayed on top of the wide icon.

All the recent work does not go unnoticed.


If it aint broke:
The newer start-up wav sounds like a dieing cat. I continue to use the original.


RSS Ticker:
Currently the rss feed looks a little out of place because it hasn't got a true home. How difficult would it be to allow the rss feed to wrap around a corner like a ticker does around the corner of a building in, lets say, time square.

Currently the home background image with the blue LED resides directly behind the home NAV menu. If it was lowered just a little, the end user could enjoy the visual effect of the rss feed wrapping around the corner of this image. (the feed would become both informative and esthetically pleasing.) And lowering the bg image could allow more video/screensaver to be displayed when navigating in the home menu.

keyboard layout:
This isn't a pressing issue; however, mc360 has a nice number pad integrated into it's keyboard. They then use the number row for the ip address. This feature is nice when using either the remote or the controller. It's layout allows room for commonly used special characters such as (- @ _ .) Not to mention the keyboard indicates which (controller) buttons execute which command, such as X to view symbols . We should all know this by now, but they are good reminders none the less. The number pad makes both IP addresses and zip codes (for weather) easy to enter. Many would argue that these are one time items that need to be set up initially, but I feel that these items have to be configured as often as one updates xbmc.


music ratings:
After seeing the screenshot I updating both vision and xbmc. I can see the rating of a song under song information; however, does actually get used in party mode or anything? Just seeing a rating I've assigned doesn't really provide a purpose, does it?

This is xbmc based but being that the xbox is microsoft xbmc should be more zune ready than ipod/itunes. The Zune uses artist and contributing artists to organize music. So if you went to Eminem, you would see his albums as well as any other songs he contributed to as long as you annotated his name first under 'contributing artists' within 50 cents album.

My problem with the XBMC library is that it isn't displaying the 'album artist', rather the zune tagged 'contributing artists'. This makes it difficult to view '2pac' under xbmc library artist because 68 variations are displayed for 2pac. If it read the album artist tag then this would no longer be an issue. However, for it to be as informative as the zune it would be nice if the xbmc library informed me of any and all songs 2pac performed on, whether it be a soundtrack or a featuring 'contributing artist'.

I just love the favourites in Vision

Thanks again phin and Jezz X

If it aint broke:
I and many people liek the startup wav but your free to use what ever you want
RSS Ticker:
I agree but its also impossible to bend it
keyboard layout:
ninet9mustang did it but again like you said its not a real issue
music ratings:
XBMC problem


Actually I didn't use phins favorites I made my own and then chi3f from xtv fame cam along and helped me make it a little more slick with the icon in the orb bit (but thanks phin for the other stuff you did)
Chi3f has also helped recently by adding a Lyrics button to the OSD screen, He did 90% of the work for the lyrics skins and he also added startup music Playlist to skin settings


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just added a media info view too the video library inspired by xTV's in a way (you have to idle to get the info)

Looks like this while browsing


And if you stop and don't touch anythign for 1 second you get this

Thanks Jezz.

Woot on the new favorites stuff. I know its still expreimental but the mainbutton/listitem.icon remains static when you launch a favorite (despite the rest of the ... thingie... falling down).

It becomes really evident that the main button/listitem.icon is on the favorites layer. Probably just copying the "fall down" animation from home.xml will solve it. I guess not since favorites dialog and the home window have different windowclose events... hmmm tricky. Maybe you can do something with Window.HasFocus(Home) ??

Also there is another small problem with exiting the favorite menu. You fade out the fake mainbutton/ favorite listitem.icon but when they are both translucent the icon shines noticebly through the half faded button. Here you can just play with the delays so the fades don't overlap. The main button can probably blink out unnoticably after the listitem.icon has faded... maybe not...

I guess you could have both of these items just turn off without animating...

I'll try playing with it some to see if something becomes apparent.

asteron fixedin svn now thanks for pointing it out

Skin is looking great!

Quick question, when viewing the Vortez visualization on the home screen, the album art displayed by Vortez is always the first song in the playlist and it it never updates to the current art for the song playing. Is this something that can be fixed in Vision? If you view the full-screen visualization, then the album art (for example for the AlbumArtCube) gets updated.

Also, is there a way to re-enable the time on the home screen? It's disappeared in the latest SVN build.

Thanks!

XBMC problem not a skin one
time only dissapears when the favourites menu is up because soem of them have icons and it looked dumb with the time behind them

Just a thought but what if you don't bend it but in fact have two RSS feeds. One that ended at the corner and the other started at the other side. If you could enable a delay on the second feed you could time it just right so that it would coincide with the other feed giving the appearance that it was one feed.

Maybe more trouble than it's worth and I've been known to work harder and not smarter.

hey NineT9mustang do you have more screens about the pm3 or other themes?

love the xTV XBMC library function that brings up the movie information after a couple of seconds. I would change the delay by a second. I try to enjoy the reflective art when it disappears and displays the info, in library mode.

I do enjoy it though.

And was the clock that bad in the main nav menu. For one of my xboxes it was because the time is ALWAYS wrong even after I correct it. But I think it should still be a skin option none the less.

Thanks guys.

Ahh, now I cant wait.. Bad tease..

Nice work and some good progress of the skin

One thing though.. where did the nice digital clock go? The on in the center of the main menu? I miss it, and the design looks so empty now without it. Please bring it back, or at least make an option to show/hide it

It should be still there

Weird. When I updated to the latest SVN it just wasn't there. hmm. Will try and rebuild it then.

Maybe someone already found a solution for this bug but anyway... If you use swedish as your language the "skript"-button shows as this: "inställningar->skript". You can fix this by changing the language file in: XBMC\Language\Swedish\strings.xml

Find string "10020" and simply remove the "inställningar->"-part and make sure the string reads:
<string id="10020">Skript</string>

Hope this helps!

Another thought on my last reply...

Another hrrmm... more permanent solution would be if ninet9 changed all the 10020-strings to 247. This would probably be better because i noticed that the 247 string always read "scripts" in all languges but the 10020 reads "settings->scripts" in many languages (not all though, like english so it doesn´t show if you use english).

I should point out that I really don´t have much experience in this so maybe there is a good reason for why you use 10020 but....

Yeah elgustavo, I have actually written about that fix earlier in this topic But mine only involved replacing the text. Nice one with the codes.

can someone upload the latest vision i still cant get it to work with tortoisvn:(

In home.xml (in PAL and PAL 16/9), Ctrl+F Search for '10020', replace with '247'. Worked for me... But on the other hand it doesn´t make much diffrence how you do it. Either you have to manually change the language files when you update XBMC or the Home.xml when you update Vision.

Okay there are worse problems in this world, but at least this one seems fixable...

for anyone who has the newest svn of this skin and says they can't see the digital clock anymore...
UPGRADE... if you simply download the newest build of xbmc the skin works fine... your old version is causing the problems with the skin. (seemed like common sense to me)

Yeah I will do it I promise right now my working copy is very different to the current svn because of changes made to suite themes so I can't commit it until the theme is done

Cool!

It´ll be helpful to all our Vision-using, non-coding, international friends
