Title: Theater View - Skin bugs ??
Post by: longpole001 on July 30, 2009, 01:20:04 am
when using either the ACAJOU or Norie skins , selection of Teleivison from main menu , does not show / allow selction of sub options , such as  Live TV , Guide , recodings , as in the other skins available for theater mode.

If another skin apart from above are used , then select say live tv , then exit theater view , select any of the above skins , then go in to telivesion , then all the channels are listed , but no submenu( eg recodings , guide , livetv) are available

please check and fix on next release , as i prefer the above skins to the others

cheers

For new features like Television, you will have to use newer roller based skins.

The old button style skins are supported for legacy reasons only.

Included skins like Acajou will be converted to using rollers at some point in Media Center 14's development.

Matt, is it true??

I like Acajou skin like it is now. Roller based skin can be useful for some people, but see all the button at the same time, like Acajou do now, can be very useful for some people that doesn't have a deep knowledge of MC (like my wife, or my brothers or friends when they come home) They can see, directly, what options they have. With Roller, you see only two or three options at the same time

So please, leave acajou like it is now. Or, at least, remain some skin without roller

We will try to keep at least one old-style skin, maybe more.

the best way to do this is to keep the old skins but just prompt the user before loading that it is incompatible with some features, would they like to continue.
