Chazz Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Confluence:GEX - coming soonA 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=ArielTitleFontSize=24TitleFontStyle=0TitleFontAlignment=RightTitleFontColor=ffffffMenuFont=ArielMenuFontSize=24MenuFontStyle=0MenuFontAlignment=RightMenuFontColor=ffffffListFont=ArielListFontSize=24ListFontStyle=0ListFontAlignment=RightListFontColor=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=trueImage2Stretch=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! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 +1 for weather icons! Its in the pipe already. We got a chart for what icon represents what weather condition. Happy to share with ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaUMi Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Wow! Really, this theme is amazing! With respect speaking, it's time for a v4 HTPC oriented theme, since GameEx is more that a bare gaming frontend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullPointer Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 This theme is looking fantastic. I’m looking forward to seeing how everything develops. If it’s possible to combine this theme with the new GameEx WIP changes it’s going to be epic. Please don’t let this one languish! Also don’t forget the theme contest!

Chazz Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 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?

Adultery Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 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?Yes, you can actually but it's a bit messy right now. This could be better handled in an update, though... Yes, you would need to have an image file and it would have to be the same name as the video file for it to show up directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headkaze Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Also don’t forget the theme contest!Indeed! All those prizes make the mind boggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm really impressed! I can't wait to see this finished so I can use it with XBMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaUMi Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'm amazed too... and eager to see this theme completed... speaking of which... Chazz, could you please give us some news about your progress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazz Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaUMi Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 In my opinion your theme is amazing as it appears in the screenshots. Can I suggest to release a 1.0 version, and possibly (hopefully) wait for Tom or Ben to implement the desired feautures? It wouldn't be a pain to update your theme with the newest features when they will be available...In the meantime, my compliments for your work... keep it up!

ehuonder Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I agree with AlphaUMi. I love the theme in XBMC, and from your screen shots make the GameEx version look even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Maybe a codecs issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I looked at the code. It looks like config\custominput.ini may be missing from the install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaUMi Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Chazz, if you are still around, any news about your project? I really hope you didn't give up!Sincerly, I'm following all the "work in progress" projects that you graphic-talented guys are developing, I like them all (no rethoric here), more or less, they are very attractive and well-conceived, and I eager to use some new themes as soon as they will be released. Only thing is that all of them are game-oriented, and that's all for good, of course, but I would be happy to see an HTPC-oriented theme like this in action...

Chazz Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 BeautifulThank-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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Great port of the Confluence theme, Chazz! I agree if we had more control over the text (colors, sizes, and fonts for each text element) as well as the types of menu displays (The "ribbon" view is nice, but would prefer to see more of a "Cover View" style that can be ordered anywhere on the screen horizontaly or vertically) we could see a wider variety of themes in play and more towards the HTPC side of the spectrum.
