I really like the layout of your skin. Is there any way to go back to the previous color scheme (blueish green with the horizontal stripes)? I have tried to use the skin on a 1024x768 monitor and unfortunately there are many issues with the background, button positions etc. Is there a relatively easy way to get back to this aspect ratio?

I have one issue with the Music screen: each album cover shows on a fairly large suare field but the album cover is tiny and only a small portion of the album title shows centered below that tiny album image, the rest of that square field is just dark grey. the covers seems to show correctly at the bottom of the screen and on all other screens. Do you have any idea what the issue might be and how to fix it?

Many thanks and congratulations on a great skin!

Unfortunately there is no easy way to switch back to the old style,the stripes was a transparent layerimage which I removed cause it was very resourcehungry with it.The image is remaining in the buttonsfolder so you could edit it yourself.
This skin is not made for 4:3 either (1024x768) but I guess I will make that in the future.
about the covers...problem is that covers fills the whole categoryimage so I tried to do a workaround with adjusting the aspectratio instead.It should have been an option to choose size of the cover in the skineditor.
Try adjust it as you like.
Hit PauseBreak key and select category and edit aspectratio.

Out of curiosity, what resolution is it built for?

Oh & BTW, looks good.

Thanks. It would be great if it was possible to have the skin in 4:3 format as well. Could you give me a few pointers how i would do that from what you have provided? Unfortunately I am a total novice at this!

Updated today,just look at the beginning of this tread

Guess I will do a 1024x768 (4:3) skin of it now

Well..since this is only posted in a forum yet means that it ment for users with some computerskills.
But I can try to get you some basic tips.
This is setup to work with Foobar,ZoomPlayer and Theatertek 2.05

First of all copy all files under c:\Program Files
then you must start xlobby and hit "F2"
under the basic tab input your movies and musicfolders
install girder and point it to use my girderfile under htpcfiles

Qtips - this is a great skin, but I agree to several post above. It would be very good if you could make this to 4:3 format. I have been trying to use this for my 21" LCD tv and it works not so well. However the skin as such is great for navigation and contains exactly the functions I want from my HTPC. However for my projector I can use a 16:9 type format skin.

Anyway, keep ut the good work! and please apply this to 4:3 format...

you're doing a GREAT job with this!

Can you build the original greenish color scheme also? I like the contrast of that color scheme.

... this is one SWEET skin!

[QTips]

Great you like the skin

It's pretty easy to get a more green look.It is designed with a grey backround with shapes over it to get color.Just adjust the colors to more green in skineditor.

Hey guys,
Quick question - I just gave this skin a quick test drive & switched the movie page to display thumbnails of the movie covers. The problem I'm having is that regardless of what format I choose the covers to display in it still shows the movie title over the top of the movie cover (even when choosing default). Any way to disable this?

[QTips]

You can try go to skineditor and in the field display,just leave it blank
