Galaxy is not working on the newer versions of mc for some reason :/ If i recall correctly, they have changed something in the theater view's theme structure that required authors to update their skins. Correct me if i'm wrong.

when you go to the folder with the skin, open the main.xml with for instance notepad, change the

Code: [Select]

<MJFS version="2.3">in

Code: [Select]

<MJFS version="2.4">
that should do the trick. as far as i know there is also a 'button' added, or at least in my skin it is, had to do some work there to get that in the same style.

When doing that trick, it does show on the theme selection but it only displays a black image with the default buttons, instead of what it should look like :/ Could you by any chance tell me what changes did you do to <Button> as well to get it to work ?

sure, i dont use the nice skin of daydream, but i took a quick look. the author took away the refference to the base skin, which can help when an element is added. when you open an other main.xml, the one from obsidian, you see what i mean in the second line. mc looks at this shared base xml file after using the one in the skin, and picks the things not defined in the main.xml.
now in this base there is an element added. the bitmap in the <ROLLER Class="Root">. this can be added to the original, and as far as i remember i used the bitmap for listselection from my own skin.

now, maybe you also want to see the background images (that is what you ment with beeing all black?).
in the main.xml you find a line:
<Item Bitmap="Pictures\ViewBackground.png" Location="***" Rect="ViewBackground\0,0,100,100" Alpha="90" Background="1" />
change the alpha value to 20 or 10.

hope my explanation is a bit clear.

Thanks Gappie for the tips! (I had to re-install the theme-zip after changing the xml) I can see the skin buttons but not in the main view, can anyone confirm this?

AND

Maybe mods could make a Theater View skin contest?

I think this is what you,re thinking of ?




15.0.69 (6/30/2010)

1. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks to KANEY).
2. Fixed: If the program was started in Mini View, returning to Standard View would show Cover View instead of Standard View.
3. Changed: The Theater View location string includes the root roller selection when at the root (used by skins).
4. Changed: Theater View Theme system uses the selected skins Background.jpg or Background.png image automatically instead of a solid color.
5. Changed: Updated Theater View skins to all support Themes.
6. Changed: Theater View Themes are the only mechanism for providing a Theater View background. (media slideshow and animation section of skin are obsolete)
7. Changed: Theater View skinning now at version 2.4 (will require update of non-stock skins).

but you are seeing the buttons in the rollers everywhere else? did you add the base.xml?
actually to get it all right is not difficult when you know your way around, but still would take some steps. im not gone playaround with someelse his skin and post it here, but i could try to get the list of changes written out. although i hope daydream will be around to update it himself.

yes, I see the buttons everywhere but not in the main view of theater view.

I edit/added:

<MJFS version="2.4">

...BaseSkin="..\Shared\Base 2.xml" />

...Rect="ViewBackground\0,0,100,100" Alpha="20" Background="1" />

not sure, i changed the same and it gives me the buttons, but as you see, it is the same button as in obsidian. by moving the added defenition for the rollers from base to the skin and change the link to the bitmap of the roller you get the image as the author made before. when you add

Code: [Select]

<ROLLER>
<Data InternalMargins="11,11,11,11" />
<Item Bitmap="" />
<Selection Bitmap="List\ListSelection.png" Columns="11,?-Flex,11" Rows="11,?-Flex,11" />
</ROLLER>

<ROLLER Class="Root">
<Data InternalMargins="11,11,11,11" />
<Item Bitmap="" />
<Selection Bitmap="List\ListSelection.png" Columns="11,?-Flex,11" Rows="11,?-Flex,11" />
</ROLLER>to the main xml i think its is back to what it was?
