Hi ToMy. Thanks for the offer but my problem is not updating the skin but serving it as I have nowhere to post anything online because my server does not allow remote linking. last time I mailed the new files to verybody but this is obviously not something I would want to do regularly!!

Not sure if anyone is having problems hosting this, but I'd like to offer to host it as well.

Does anyone have it in an .mjp file yet?

Have some space on our server. Could place it if you want to. I'll send you my mail adress.

Seems hard to get this skin in the air

Come on. I'm sorry I can't help you.

I must say that those of you, working with the skins are doing a fantastic jobb. ToMy, NoCodeUK, JC, DJ Hazelwood, kickelfarz, nameless and many more.

Thank you so much.

Mats

fex · « **Reply #119 on:** August 28, 2003, 09:30:27 am »

Adam seems to be away. Can't do more than offer my server. But I don't get the files.

NoCodeUK · « **Reply #120 on:** August 28, 2003, 09:40:38 am »

Sorry guys. I don't know what has happened to Adam. He appears to have taken the files and done a runner

I had deleted the archive from my system but will repackage them and send them to Fex.

Adam

jleerigby · « **Reply #121 on:** August 28, 2003, 10:43:38 am »

Adam - I think this is just a ploy to create more excitement and suspense prior to the big unveiling.

NoCodeUK · « **Reply #122 on:** August 28, 2003, 02:48:35 pm »

I sent them to Fex...honest I did!! Don't say he's done a runner now too

Okay....for some reason the files did not get through to Fex. I have now sent them to knickelfarz and he will host them. When he has put them up I will post a link. Please understand that I cannot email the files out to everybody as this would take me too long. Sorry for all the problems but this should be sorted very soon. Thanks for understanding...

So up to now we have involved JC, NoCodeUK, Ashawley, Fex and at last Knickelfarz.

There's only ToMy left.

Well, well.........

Thanks to both of for a fast jobb.

I'm not at home when I see the news above, but I have downloaded the file and sent it home.

Take care

Looks great. I'm not too excited about the iPod icons for the rating though (just reminds me that I DON'T have an iPod

). But overall, a very nice job.

jleerigby · « **Reply #131 on:** August 29, 2003, 08:37:29 am »

Wow. I love the brushed metal and the color in the status bar and display area goes really well.

I echo the point about the ratings icons - they are just not easy on the eye for me. Also I'm just not sure about the blue highlight and scroll bars and the white background. This just doesn't seem to fit with the 'metal' look. I think a subtle silvery background would look better. I'm using E8E8E8 for tree and list background. I would change the AW to match but can't figure out how.

I wouldn't change the blue scroll bars to silver 'cos that would be too much silver / grey. I can't think what would be best - something subtle that goes with metal better than bright blue!

Great skin, Thanks for all your hard work. It was worth the wait.

Just copy the following gif in your folder called "C:\Programs\Media Center\MegaSkins\Brushed Metal 241" overwriting the existing one. You'll get the stars back.

I'm not a flake, really I'm not!!!

Sorry, guys. I was on vacation for the week and was out of the 'net loop.

And to prove it....

I've hosted the Skin as well.

Adam

NoCodeUK · « **Reply #135 on:** August 31, 2003, 04:25:38 am »

Cheers guys. The ipod rating icons were just a bit of wimsey...I changed them because I could!! Any other changes should be down to JC. I only made it possible to work with the action window it is his skin otherwise...

Adam

JC · « **Reply #136 on:** September 01, 2003, 10:07:42 am »

I want to thank everyone who worked together on the skin to get it functional (and looking very nice) with the newer versions of Media Center. With my current situation, I will not be able to devote the time to skin modifications as fast as the interface is changing.

The effort put forth here illustrates the wonderful community of users JRiver has going for it. I hope that I will be able to contribute in just a small way in the future, but my current schedule leaves little time for these types of activities.

Thanks again for everyone's effort on this. The skin looks excellent!

JC

LisaRCT · « **Reply #137 on:** September 01, 2003, 03:17:03 pm »

JC, we miss ya, hope to see you back in action here in the near future.

nila · « **Reply #138 on:** September 03, 2003, 12:23:26 am »

OOh - what a nice skin.

Glad to see it works with the latest builds too.
Sorry you got no free time JC - I know that feeling!

HeavyPet@Work · « **Reply #139 on:** September 06, 2003, 02:32:48 pm »

I have 9.1 and the brushed metal skin. it looks great!

But for some reason I can't activate the "visualization" part at all. It shows that I have visualizations selected but nothing shows up (the pane doesn't even show up) Anyone know why?

Cheers!

JimH · « **Reply #140 on:** September 06, 2003, 02:44:15 pm »

You need to be in Playing Now and then it's possible that the splitter is all the way at the top of the right window. Look for two tiny triangles or try to drag it down.

HeavyPet@Work · « **Reply #141 on:** September 06, 2003, 02:47:30 pm »

Ah that's got it, thanks!
The "Playing now" miniwindow is to the lower left, but you have to actually click on it's titlebar somehow before the mode switches.
Cheers!

knickelfarz · « **Reply #142 on:** September 06, 2003, 05:47:03 pm »

Hi!

As JC and NoCodeUK didn't had the time to do it, I updated the skin to work with build 246 (also made some small fixes)...

Install Brushed Metal Skin for MC 9.1.246 (Will not overwrite older versions)

Enjoy

ashawley · « **Reply #143 on:** September 07, 2003, 08:48:35 am »

knickel:

Thanks for doing that! Not sure if you've got the time, but is there any chance of maybe updating the mini-me skin? I see now that right-click menus are black.

Also, (and this is asking for a lot)...one of the features I really dug about the mini-me skin was the fade-in and fade-outs of the hover on the Play buttons. Any chance of getting that added to the Mega me.

Not in the next few weeks, but maybe later if nobody else does it

This is not supported by MEGA-ME yet... Maybe it will be introduced with MC10... who knows...

gpvillamil · « **Reply #145 on:** September 28, 2003, 07:40:11 am »

Is it just me, or did the 9.1.260 build break the Brushed Metal Mini-Me skin?

Basically, the equalizer and viz windows are undocked from the main window. There seems to be no way to move them back to be adjacent to the main window, and moving one of the open windows moves the other.

Doof · « **Reply #146 on:** September 28, 2003, 10:34:35 am »

Try deleting the state.xml file from the Brushed mini-me folder. Make sure you're in MEGA-ME when you do that. Then switch back to the mini-me skin. It should revert back to the default settings. It does work fine here with .260

I re-installed the Brushed mini-me skin, that did the trick. No problems. (re-installing probably re-set the state.xml file)
