Naylia's XLobbyMC Skin - Updated 1 JANUARY 2006 www

You'll have to ask about that one in the general forum too. I don't have any experience with radio tuners and their software. You can do almost anything it's just takes time to figure out how you want the two programs to interact.

Expect a new widescreen version by the weekend ...my new HDTV is on it's way so I have to get the HTPC ready for it. I can't seem to express in words my joy at moving from a 20" CRT SDTV to a 42" LCD HDTV

Oh...the HD version will be 1366x768 and hopefully should scale without effort to 1280x720 and 1920x1080

[Naylia]

Hey guys,

First up-to-date widescreen version in a long time, hope you all enjoy!!!

1280x720 for all the main screens and I checked all the ppc screens to make sure those fonts are correct.

Download is in first post....

N,

I'm relatively new here but have been able to get about 6 other skins up on my machine. For some reason your 1.50 skin just doesn't want to appear on my monitor, regardles of the resolution i set it at. Any thoughts?

thx in advance,

Aceman

[Naylia]

hmm...

are you using the latest prerelease download and updated files?

i just did a clean install downloading

xlobby2prerelease1.zip

then xlobby2.zip

then XLobbyMC-1280x720.zip

and it opened right up...so the only thing i can think of is making sure you have up-to-date files in your current setup. Or try a clean install of XLobby like I just did, setup XLobbyMC and then migrate some of your old databases and such over.

First off Naylia I love your skin. I needed a skin that would look right on my 36" SDTV and yours was perfect, it looks so clean on my TV.

I wanted a search page for my movies, so I made one and am very happy with it and figured I would post it back here in case you wanted to use it or change it for your skin or whatever. I will be using this as a search for my games and music as well.
I love the search page on Colby's skin so I used that for my template (hope that is ok ) and made it bigger and changed the buttons to, what I think, match this skin. I am by no means an expert at XL or a graphic designer ( a co-worked actually did the buttons) but I think it turned out ok.

So feel free to use it, abuse it or ignore it, just trying to give back if I can for all of your hard work.



Here is where to DL the buttons and XML page:

Let me know if you like it, if not it won't hurt my feelings

[Naylia]

Very nice! I like the keyboard keys. I may drop this in and make the music search section match with it when I have some free time.

[scottw]

Cool thanks. Still tweaking it a bit. I'm not completely happy with the top area where it display's the search results.

[Colby]

I bet I could make those keyboard buttons look like your skin. If youre interested. ( I mean I still have the original buttons)

[scottw]

That woud be a yes for me!!!! This was just an attempt for me but I am sure you could make it alot better. Maybe one of these days I could get as good as you guys

Thanks Colby!!!!

[Naylia]

That'd be cool Colby. Thanks for the help!

It's me or the mimic feature under settings does not work ? When i click it, the ppc screen and pc screen are not in sync, moreover it could be usefull to know the status ( synced or not).

Another idea would be to put a sync button on the main page which could be highlighted when ppc screen are synced with the server and clicking the button would toggle the sync.

[Naylia]

I'll check the mimic feature. It's been a while since I used it.

[Tlvenn]

Thanks Naylia, forgot to say that i really like your work, thanks for this amazing skin.

[Tlvenn]

Just noticed another glitch for the ppc screen, the audio playlist does not seem to work, it's always empty, on the server it works great. (using foobar if it matters). Can someone told me if it works for them plz ?

Thanks in advance.

By the way, is there a way to control the volume under my music section (ppc screen) ?
