Chazz

Yup! Yup! Kevin Rose, Leo Laporte. Also Alex Albrecht from Diggnation and AOTS, and Dan Huard from the Screen Savers, Systm and Broken.

Cheap women, maybe, but cheap Scotch? Never!!

Pictures screen finished (Now you all know what I look like! Bonus points for anyone who knows who I'm with in the picture)

Also, skipintro=False is still showing the intro

Thanks guys! Please let me know if you have any ideas or sugestions. ...new Radio screen

More questions!! Is it possible to move the Please Wait info at the bottom of the screen? When playing a song, it seems to be showing the Now Playing art AND the visualization both in Image2. Is this correct? Can we only show just the Now Playing art, and not the visualization? Also is there any text for showing "Now Playing: Queens of the Stone Age" and maybe the track time for the song that's playing? What image is being used behind this text? Can we change the position of this text?

Would it be possible to be able to show Song Titles and Artist Names with Headkaze's LCD/LED Plugin? I know it can show information for MAME game titles. but it would be great to be able to see what songs are playing on a LED Sign.

If the text for SelectLine is longer than the width of the SelectLine, does it stretch to fit all the text? Example... My SelectLine1 is 200px wide, but with an item with long text it seems to be showing all the text, even though my SelectLine should only be 200px. If this is the case, and the text is too long for the SelectLine box, can we have a ellipsis at the end of the text so it doesn't stretch the text longer than what the SelectLine width is? Does this make any sense?

New Themes Screen...

Thank-you Sir! Loving some of the new features! Would it be possible to have an option for the new Static Start Page menu to align to the right or middle? Also, on the start page when changing items the Image kinda does this Zoom thing. Is there a way to turn this off, or even better, fading between images?

Updated WIP pics at the top!

I'm quite an expert with the Alpha LED signs and the protocol, which I beleive is the same as Betabrites. If there's anything I can do to help let me know. I've also writted some apps for the Alpha LED signs if you're interested.

I wasn't sure if I needed 15 copies of the same image to make a static selector bar, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks Draco EDIT: Works perfect, thanks again!

I'm having problems changing my Selector Bar. I'm using custom themes, saved the image as Selected.png, and AnimatedSelector=False in my theme.ini, but I only get the default animated blue Selector Bar, not the image I have as Select.png Anyone have any ideas?

This is, like you say, MUCH MUCH needed!! I don't understand why this hasn't been implemented yet. We have the option for the 'Title Font', so why can't these settings be added for List, RSS Feed, Date, Time, Weather!

Edit

Still working away. Might be put on hold for a bit until some of the new GameEx features come out, or I may do a Lite version. If 'Santa Tom' is listening... maybe font options and image/video stretching for Christmas?

Here's a video of my bar and my cab running GameEx.

Thanks for all words of support! I'm working on the menu for videos, and wondering if I can change what's what for the images/videos. I'd like Image1 to be the snapshot that is currently being used as the thumbnail in the menu list, and I'd like the poster art to be the image in the image list so when you're scrolling through the movies it's the poster art, and not the screen shot. Can I change what Image2 could be? Either video preview or another image. Would I need to have a image file with the video for it to show up correctly?

+1 on both.

Confluence:GEX - coming soon A new theme for GameEx based on the XMBC Confluence theme. Please let me know if you have any comments, questions or suggestions. I still have quite a bit of work to do. Questions/Requests: - Full Text Formatting - I know this is a pretty popular request, but we'd be able to do so much more if we could control the style of all the text: [FONTS] TitleFont=Ariel TitleFontSize=24 TitleFontStyle=0 TitleFontAlignment=Right TitleFontColor=ffffff MenuFont=Ariel MenuFontSize=24 MenuFontStyle=0 MenuFontAlignment=Right MenuFontColor=ffffff ListFont=Ariel ListFontSize=24 ListFontStyle=0 ListFontAlignment=Right ListFontColor=ffffff - Can you use custom images for the weather? Maybe a rain.png, snow.png, sunny.png image? Can the weather be split into two objects? Maybe WeatherImage and WeatherText. We might be able to do some neat things with the weather if they were separate. - Maybe an option for stretching images and videos? ImageStretch=true Image2Stretch=false - Does anyone have a master theme.ini file? Has anyone made a FAQ on the theme.ini file. I do most of my work by editing the file rather then the theme editor. ...more questions to come!

I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions and I'll be looking for your input! The only features I'd love is to have full text formatting for each object. And thank-you for sending my Key! Everything is working great! Yup, that's something that I'll be changing as well.

This is a great idea, and was something I was looking for too. Is there a way to use the poster art for the thumbnail rather than the screen shot it picked? I was also wondering, the description text shows up in the Menu. Is there anyway for descriptions to be in it own object rather than using the Menu for the text? And, can I use custom layouts for different menus? Or is the theme.ini file the only file that controls everything? Is there support for a video.ini file or something like that?

The only two images I'm actually using from XBMC right now is the left menu panel and the background. All other images (top menu, weather, time and rss feed backgrounds) were done by me in Photoshop. You can find the XMBC files on Sourceforge HERE. As for the text and positioning, that's all done with the theme editor and notepad. I'm planning on calling my theme ConfluenceEx, and I hope I'm not stepping on naborneo toes here.

EDIT: Weather is back!
