X-Factor Skin (R219)

Code:
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 skales beautifully up to 1920x1080 (I run the skin in 1920x1080 on my 40" LCD at home).

Important About this skin
This skin is developed and tested towards the following MP releases:
* MP 1.0.2
* Moving Pictures 0.7.3
* TVSeries 2.2
Please use the above versions along with this skin. I will not answer to any issues reported if you use older versions of these softwares.

Code:
************************ INSTALLATION (MPE1 FILE) ************************
1: Deleted the XFactor folder in your cache folder "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache" or similar.

2: Run the MPI package (xfactor_r219.MPE1). This will automatically install fonts, the menu editor plugin and the skin. If you get a question what program to use to run the MPE1 file when you doubleclick on it you should select the MPInstaller (usually in folder "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MPInstaller.exe").

3. If this is the first time you install the xfactor skin you probably need to install the font package as well. Extract this file into your "Windows/fonts" directory (http://x-factor.googlecode.com/files/fonts.rar).

4. Enable the InfoService plugin in MP Configuration to make RSS feed and weather to work. 

5. Open MP configuration and set xfactor as your skin if this is not allready so. 

6. In MP configuration make sure "Start with basichome.." option is selected. This is the only supported home menu.

7. In MP configuration make sure that MP-RSSTicker is disabled (as the skin now uses the plugin you installed above, see item 4).

8. (Optional) In MP configuration goto plugins and choose xfactor to customize you main menu. This is also how you can get your modified basichome back to what it looked before upgrading, in this case just open the plugin and then press generate new basichome button and you get the layout you had before.

9. (Optional) The installation zip file only contains a small number of images. To add images and get a higher experience from the skin add your own immages to the "Animation\xx" subfolders. For example add TVSeries backdrops to the tvseries subfolder.

************************ INSTALLATION (ZIP FILE)************************
1: Deleted the XFactor folder in your cache folder "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache" or similar.

2: Extract the xfactor_r219.rar to your MediaPortal? base directory (for example: C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal).

3. If this is the first time you install the xfactor skin you probably need to install the font package as well. Extract this file into your "Windows/fonts" directory (http://x-factor.googlecode.com/files/fonts.rar).

4. Enable the InfoService plugin in MP Configuration to make RSS feed and weather to work. 

5. Open MP configuration and set xfactor as your skin if this is not allready so.

aMPed 2.0 final- Skin for MediaPortal

aMPed is a 4:3 skin for MediaPortal.
aMPed has started its life because on smaller 4:3 screens larger fonts were needed for readability. So aMPed stands for readability and usability first, design second

We are really proud to announce our latest release (2.0 final)! A lot of hard work has been put into moving aMPed to the next level. With our newest release we have;
- Provided 3 supported font sizes
- Maintained MediaPortal 1.0 backwards compatibility
- Reworked some graphics and styles, hope you like them
- Added some cool features such as the video wallpaper button
- And as always continuous improvements on a lot of the supported plugins. Redesigns for tvseries and moving pictures included!



Google Groups discussion

- Customizing basicmenus
- Customizing TVSeries
- Customizing backgrounds
- Customizing fonts

aMPed Google Codes
- Manual
- Changelog
- Known issues
- Supported plugins

Enjoy that great skin (my favorite)

PureVision 2.5- Skin for MediaPortal

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

Black Glass -Skin for MediaPortal

17.08.2009

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!

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!

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

Copy the folder "Black Glass" to your MediaPortal skin-folder.
