MediaPortal Skins

[juli13]

PureVision 2.5 is ready for MP 1.1.0 ALPHA and latest SVNs (actually 23294). Therefore you SHOULD use 1.1.0 ALPHA and latest SVN!

As this version of PureVision is downward compatible to MP 1.0.2, you may use it with that version as well, but you won´t benefit from the latest features (like shadows, fadelabel wrap and others). I strongly recommend to use MP 1.1.0 ALPHA and latest SVN, which is extremely stable and has a lot of advantages over MP 1.0.2.

PureVision 2.5 fully supports the use of mouse, touchscreen and remote.

Major Changes:

* Complete redesign

* Full support of latest stable MP-TVSeries (2.3.3491)

* Support of the new plugins Earth TV and ScoreCenter

* ... and a lot of enhancements in all areas

The skin is inspired by Blue3Wide and Theatre skins.

The skin is designed to be used mainly from the BasicHome screen. Some buttons on the BasicHome are not working because the associated plugin skin have still to be developed!


UPDATES
----------------
RC3 - 17/08/2009 - Corrected Left sliding menu bug (thanks to dlarge500's report)


BUGS
----------------
The skin is pre-release and surely contains bugs/design-flaws and I encourage you to report all bugs you encounter in this thread!
One major bug I could not resolve: when displaying playlists, the backgrounds of the items in the playlist are missing. Please help me!


INSTALL

Copy the font-file "Sansation_Regular.ttf" to your Windows font-catalog. You'll find this catalog in your Windows Controlpanel.

X-Factor is new skin made for MediaPortal. X-Factor is based/built upon the great skin files from StreamedMP. The concept of the skin is to make all options in MediaPortal available as easy as possible and if possible do so in an attractive way. I have tried to keep balance between the use of fanart and usability. As a user of this skin you can customize the main meny and also what images you want to use for different views in the skin.

The idea behind the main meny is to have a menu that fits the area of one screen so you can get a good overview of all available options. Moving to a menu or sub menu changes the backdrop image. The skin have a built in menu editor so that you can edit the menu items (basichome) from within MP Configuration.

The skin skin is developed for 1280x720 resolution but thanks to the MediaPortal? software it scales beautifully up to 1920x1080 (I run the skin in 1920x1080 on my 40" LCD at home).
