Epic! Thank you Rocky for all your work.
Also do you think it would be possible to add the green progress bar to the video library update dialogue, like all the other update status bars have?

the code is in there it just doesn't work not sure why though.
is right at the bottom of DialogVideoScan.xml
under the name of progress

Yeah though that would mean editing a few xml files to remove video frame from videos and tv shows then editing the Includes to change the textures then FullscreenViews to change the positions of them.
persionaly i dont mind them but if you want to do this be my guest.
here are the xml files you need to edit.
FullscreenViews.xml = positions and frame textures.

its for wide frames only you need to enable them in the Horizons feature's and its only for tv shows.

ahh .. i know what view your taking about .. personally wasn't a big fan of that option ..
hoping now with xbmc allowing more then 10 views .. x2biris (or someone else who knows what he/she's doing) will bring back widecase view

I can't seem to get the new frames to work. I copied one of the xpr files into XBMC\skin\Horizonz - An Aeon Mod\media\ as the instructions stated, but in the look and feel menu I only see 1/1 default for the skin theme. I'm using Rev17586 for windows. I am thinking I must be doing something dumb, but I just can't see it.

I'm having the same problem and I'm also using build 17586 for windows. Copied the .xpr to the media folder yet the there is no new option to chose under Skin Theme
Strange i am having the same problem with these frame textures not showing up in settings and i also run windows rev 17531 though though my xbox sees them ok

Yeah, same fellas. I have to mux these frames into texture.xpr for me to enjoy them.
How does one mux these frames into textures.xpr?
You need xprexpress this will unpack the textures.xpr then you replace the original frames with any of the ones
that rocky has been good enough to create and put the new frames into the folder of textures you just extracted then using the same program repack them. then put that new textures.xpr into your media folder
just google for xprexpress

Or just place the .xpr in media folder and chose it as a theme. Think that is how it is supposed to be done.

it works for most people .. but for some reason it doesn't seem to work on windows
Well actually it does i rolled back to the atlantis release and it now does see the extra .xpr files
so it is a problem with the later releases of xbmc but for now you will have to modify the main textures pack

Yup iam getting the same thing i just updated to Rev17590 and it does not show so am a bit foocked now lol as i never backed up my last installation lol.
I also noticed that on the xbox the new end time OSD doesn't display PM or AM.
this revision works with multi themes for skins.
Rev17341
had not noticed that one, put that down to another bug

Working just fine for me in the latest svn.
Though I did have to select the frame pack twice, the first time I left the menu it reverted, the second time it stuck.

@ Rocky5
Any chance you could make a Widecase version of the Black -sun burst frame?
I've been using your frame pack in version iii, its great.
Cheers

its a sad thing to see (since i love them also) but i feel that wide banners are dying :(
with this release and the upcoming Stark also dropping it .. i feel its a trend
pity though .. i guess people can mod to add them in .. but i looked at the latest screenshots of Stark from a few days ago (here (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45038) & here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/duncanjharris/sets/72157613428098087/detail/)) and i don't think there will be a nice way to integrate wide banners with those other viewtypes .. just won't mesh

Glad it worked.
also i have updated page 1 added an Xbox version as the skinning on there is different for some aspects of the skin so had to fix the wide frame i also included a new Texture.xpr that will give you more memory.
Nice work doing these frames rocky the best ones IMO are the Black sunburst as they match the mood of the whole skin, BTW if you downgrade xbmc to atlantis on pc version the problem with the .xpr packs not showing up are fixed, must be a bug in later releases as i have not found one that will. thanks again

Thank's for the info i will try the latest build
2. Include my dialogue fixes + file finishing time OSD.
Thanks much for the dialog fixes Rocky.
I did make one change though to the yes/no dialog. The focused color was just too similar to the normal color to really tell the difference for my wife and I. Seeing as how it is normally encountered when deleting files for us, I just changed the focused color to a reddish color.
Definitely leaves no question to what you are selecting.

Got a quick 'how to' on that?
Got a quick 'how to' on that?
1. Open "DialogYesNo.xml"
2. Find the two instances of "<focusedcolor>FF000000</focusedcolor>"
3. Replace "000000" with the hex color code of your choice in both instances. I believe I used something like "DC143C" which is crimson. I don't remember exactly. I just picked a red that I liked.
I don't have access to my system right now, but I can upload the changed xml if anyone would like it.
