Hi, I'm Pablo33, and this is my first message. I know that it is no much activity in freevo, but I prefer to write this than shut up forever: I have started to create a new skin. There are many questions rounding my head, it may be a bit late for this. Well, I'll go on and if you think its a good skin you can include it in later releases or may publish to other freevo 1.9 users. I've read freevo wiki "http://www.freevo.org/wiki/1.x/Skins.html" and tried to understand the structure. Even I started learning a bit of python a month ago, but for my surprise skins definitions are in an XML file XDD . I've uploaded the files into a compressed archive, so you can take a look. link to the file <http://ubuntuone.com/4TodYdqBziwmum0o5UIodo> Although base resolution for skins is 800x600, the skin is intended to fit only into full HD resolution, so my base resolution is 1920x1080. I started to draw a set of icons, in high resolution (maybe too high). (they are mixed with a set of icons that already were there) More or less everything it's working properly, the folder_game.png-icon doesn't work (and I don't know why). I don't know where to change other icons, such web_radio. No idea for now, i've seen an image-file in folder "/icons/themes/" but ... it shows invisible in freevo menu. Other issues are: I can't see other icons in action. For example: CD-DVD player doesn't work for me, and I haven't TV card too. And I have no idea of the "freevo-icon scope" ¿how many icons does freevo use? ¿which ones? from now I've started from a theme set. Well, can I wait for same light or help to test and develop more items? do you think it worth for this or other releases (if they come)? Does freevo skin work for freevo 2? Is this the right place to do this? Is it too late? .... I play freevo 1.9.2 in an Ubuntu 12.04 system. (installed from repository, of course). Regards. Pablo33 |

Hi Pablo, Couple of years ago I wrote the new skin mimicking xbmc. It's a high resolution skin meant to work in 16:9 mode. You can find it on a branch of 1.9.2 in GitHub. It's fully functional and mostly complete. I have extended the original skin rendering code to cope wuth some new functionalities I have introduced. You can play with it to your heart's content :-) There are most likely bugs and some additional work can be done. It has never been merged into the main trunk of 1.9.2 Cheers, Maciej Sent from my iPhone On 02.04.2014, at 21:10, Pablo Casas <pca...@gm...> wrote: > Hi, I'm Pablo33, and this is my first message. > > I know that it is no much activity in freevo, but I prefer to write this than shut up forever: I have started to create a new skin. > > There are many questions rounding my head, it may be a bit late for this.

Hi Maciej, Ufff, finding this "branch" has been a hard work since I'm not a programmer and it's the first time I deal with this web. But finally I think I've downloaded the right zip. link to branch <https://github.com/murbaniak/freevo1/tree/xbmc> So, It is supposed that if I install this "branch" it'll work?.... well, I'll setup a new VMachine with ubuntu 13.10 and I'll try it. I've been seen some content and its great, there are lots of icons, :D it really looks as Xbmc ;D Thank-you Maciej. Regards.
