MC Mac Skins

Updating a skin for Retina support is a big project, and unlikely to happen for any other skins during v19.

If we were to make our own skins is there anything to be aware of when compared to skinning for Windows. Any of the processes involved alien to how skinning is done for Windows? I haven't looked at the Noire folder yet.

I too didn't have much love for the Noire skin so I made an amateur attempt at updating a few of the graphic elements in this skin. For anyone with a mac retina laptop this tweaked Noire skin should work. At least it works fine on my 13" screen, not sure about larger displays. I didn't bother making it professional and putting the highlighting on the buttons. This is as far as I'm planning to take it for now but others are free to use it as long as JRiver doesn't mind me sharing it.
To use it, download the folder below and place it in your Standard View skins folder on the Mac and then it will be visible in MC under your Skin menu. Since it's built from the Noire Mac skin, it has scaling for retina devices. I'm new to skinning on Media Center so it's strictly an amateur attempt to improve the GUI a bit. My goal was just to change up the buttons, sliders and color scheme more to my liking. All of the graphic elements were pulled from various public websites.

EXCELENT WORK, love it! Now if only the skin folder didn't disappear when updating MC would be great. I suspect we would have to copy the noire fix folder to the standard view folder every time we update.

Glad you like it.
Yes, that's correct about the folder getting overwritten during an update. I save the file in a separate location and copy it back each time I update.

Whats the location of the skins folder on Mac?
