to solve the problem
you have to edit the VideoFullScreen.xml
and change the bluebar.png id
old: <control type="image" id="1">
new:<control type="image" id="0">
<description>bar image</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>54</posy>
<width>720</width>
<height>65</height>
<texture>bluebar.png</texture>
<colorkey>0</colorkey>
it will be added with next update :-)
thanks for the feedback

i have got the following problem with button-slide-effect in SettingsCategory.xml
the buttons get cropped after focus effect
<animation effect="slide" time="150" start="0,0" end="-10,0" acceleration="-1.3" delay="0" condition="!Skin.HasSetting(animation)">Focus</animation>
<animation effect="slide" time="150" start="-10,0" end="0,0" acceleration="-1.3" delay="0" condition="!Skin.HasSetting(animation)">UnFocus</animation>
cheers ceomr
OK seems this is a problem with the new grouplist type creating an actual window that the buttons get displayed in instead of drawing them on the desktop.
As far as I know there is no solution to it right now but I think jmarshall needs to add a <controloffsetx> and a <controloffsety> to the group list so people can still do these sort of animations. If he dosn't read this I'll ask him next time I see him

Yeah - the grouplist sets the viewport around the controls (ostensibly for when the controls are scrolling).
The reason is that controls are currently resized (in width) to the size of the grouplist in the case of a vertical list (their heights are probably resized in the case of a horizontal grouplist, though I'm not 100% sure), and their posx and posy are set so that they form a list. Obviously the issue here is the posx and width (in particular) being forced.
The only reason that this occurs is because settingscategory.xml requires it for many skins, as the various control types there are not sized correctly by default.
I could remove this constraint (allowing the <posx> and <width> to be left alone, and taken offset from the grouplist) but this will kill backward compatibility, and would also force you to place the controls within the list itself (which makes sense anyway).
My proposal is as follows:
1. If skin version < 2.1, do it as it is done now.
2. Else, leave <posx> and <width> untouched.
Those skins that have already specified version 2.1 will need to be updated to suit.
Does this sound ok?
Cheers,
Jonathan
Honestly jmarshall I'd be happy with just adding a <border> tag to all controls that have viewports so like in the example of this skin when his buttons get focused, and slide back 10 pixels if he had a border of 10 then it would still show instead of getting cut off due to the view port edge.
I also ran into the same problem with the new panel type and having a larger overlapping thumb when your in the top row the top gets cut off same with being on the left right and bottom being able to specify a border that it starts / finishes drawing from would suit and note break compatabilty because if its not there it just uses 0

The problem with that is that the viewport is there for a reason: It's there for when we are scrolling (we want it to chop things off nicely).
While it would be fine for left/right (as they are not the issue in a vertical grouplist) any vertical border could be rather strange looking, with half-controls visible, or some parts showing up when scrolling but then disappearing when the scrolling ends.
For the panel, for instance, if you had no space between thumbs, and no label whatsoever, and then have the focused thumb larger (overlapping) then if you had a border, it would show the focused thumb fine no matter where you are, but if you scroll down (so icons all move up) the first row of icons would be displayed in the border area until the scroll completes, whereby they'd magically disappear. A starting offset or something would be the only way around that (so that partial thumbs are always displayed in the top/bottom border area). This makes things more complicated both code-wise and skin-wise. Ofcourse, if it's unavoidable, then so be it. The current stuff is quite elegant in it's simplicity - I don't want it to become another buttonscroller!
If any other ideas are coming I'd be more than happy to hear them!
Cheers
Jonathan

Ok I installed the skin and it says that the skin is incompatible we require skins of version 2.00 or higher.
Not sure of what to do here. I can't remember my build date but it is pretty recent atleast in mid november T3ch build.

ooops
Very nice additions since 2.0! However I have found german words in "My Programs" section while I have set English as the language.
Hi CEOMR,
Any updates to the skin as of late?
Any possibility of uploading all that is required to build your skin in SourceForge? Would make it easier for others to update and build as enhancements occur.
Cheers,
KZ

Hello. This is a 'formal' invitation to host your skin on teh XboxMediaCenter Skinning Project SVN. http://sourceforge.net/projects/xboxmediacenter/ (this is different project to http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc/ < which is actually XBMC and its sources etc)
The URL is https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xboxmediacenter/ it won't
ask you for a username and password. When you commit it will prompt you for your username and password. I reckommended TortoiseSVN
If you are intrested Private Message me on the forums with your sourceforge username so we can setup access for you, and if you want i can send intructions on how to get it up there :)
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers Donno ... thanks for taking the time to issue formal invites to skin devs who have put excellent effort in thier skins.
KZ
CEOMR,
Any way of getting your Visualisation & Web effort as well?
Donno,
Does Team XBMC have an SVN trunk for Visualisation & Web ?
Cheers,
KZ

Sweet Bird! I am happy that the Skin Project is expanding with excellent skins. CEMOR's skin looks a little unorganized, but none the less, I can get updates at my own leisure. Phenomenal.
just wanted to say that CEOMR has got SVN access on the "XBMC Skinning Project"'s SVN now.

It would be nice if skinners would NOT include scripts with their skins in the SVN. Especially, broken out dated ones.
There is a scripting SVN for that. I'm getting that stupid error "secure connection truncated again. It's annoying have to retry this for all these script files.
Can we get some rules for this. There is absolutely no reason to include scripts, unless they are specific to a skin.
Edit: A log entry would be nice too with your commits. (13.6MB - 1326 files in 512 folders for scripts Completely unnecessary.)

ok the quicktimebrower didn't work as it should.. but all others work fine for me

these scripts normally use the standard skin (project mayhem)
and i changed them to work with my skin
especially to work with the xbmc logo animation
you don't have to upload them to your xbox but if someone likes it i uploaded it..

which log entry is needed when the files were uploaded the first time??

I don't know what client you use to commit, but when you commit with tortoise, there's a text box below the recent messages button. That is where you enter your log message. Added:, Chaged:, Fixed:.
As far as the scripts go, they are unnecessary. Keep them somewhere else and offer them to people. The web, a splash screen or a script that is used to modify your skin in someway I can understand. But you have quicktimebrowser, with all it's libraries. I don't beleive that script currently works does it?
cool,
svn would be sweet!
How about a english version of the webserver skin, for all of us non-germans? :)

Just wondering if there are any instructions for, or details about the 'internet browser' option I have on my start page using this skin and the latest build of XBMX?
Also, to the developer, thanks for all your work - have tried every skin available and this is the most functional, least geeky one available. In my opinion anyway.
