Skin with client screen included

Postby tomprout on Thu Apr 06, 2006 7:44 am

Hello !

I would like to use my tabletPC (screen 800 x 600) to control my HTPC.
I am looking for skins which include client screens and nott ppc screens.

I know redeuxII skin but I would like to know if someone can give me some links to other skins.

Thanks in advance...

well, you could take the screens from an 800x600 version of a skin and rename/replace the ppc screens in a skin with them. Shouldn't take too much work.

Sorry I might be missing something here but if you use your tablet as a thin client and have your servers.txt file set as menu and not ppcmenu that should be all you need to do. As far as know that will display exactly the same screen as if you were running it as a fat client.

From your tablet run the Xlobby2sd.exe with servers.txt file

Naylia, can you confirm this :

1.I load xlobby2 with my favorite skin in 800*600 mode to have the screens resized to a correct size for my tabletPC.
2. Quit xlobby copy paste and rename screens with ppc prefix.

Use xlobby2sd.exe on my tabletPC.

OK ! But what about execute file events which will launch foobar, mpc or zoomplayer. I don't wnat these application will be launched on my tabletPC.

Another question : If on my screen ppcvideo I click on "play file" button,
how xlobby knows It has to execute event behind play button on screen video ? Do these two buttons have to have the same id ? How does it works ?

Hello Agian
As i said before if you run your tablet as a thin client then which ever skin your are using will be dislayed on your tablet exactly the same as a fat client. Now unless I'm missing something is that not what you want ???

Yes it is exactly that I want ! Thanks ! But I wanted some informations about my previous questions :

1.I load xlobby2 with my favorite skin in 800*600 mode to have the screens resized to a correct size for my tabletPC.
2. Quit xlobby copy paste and rename screens with ppc prefix.

Use xlobby2sd.exe on my tabletPC.
