Naylia's XLobbyMC Skin - Updated 1 JANUARY 2006 www

[scottw]

First off Naylia I love your skin. I needed a skin that would look right on my 36" SDTV and yours was perfect, it looks so clean on my TV.

I wanted a search page for my movies, so I made one and am very happy with it and figured I would post it back here in case you wanted to use it or change it for your skin or whatever. I will be using this as a search for my games and music as well.
I love the search page on Colby's skin so I used that for my template (hope that is ok ) and made it bigger and changed the buttons to, what I think, match this skin. I am by no means an expert at XL or a graphic designer ( a co-worked actually did the buttons) but I think it turned out ok.

So feel free to use it, abuse it or ignore it, just trying to give back if I can for all of your hard work.



Here is where to DL the buttons and XML page:

Let me know if you like it, if not it won't hurt my feelings

[Naylia]

Very nice! I like the keyboard keys. I may drop this in and make the music search section match with it when I have some free time.

[scottw]

Cool thanks. Still tweaking it a bit. I'm not completely happy with the top area where it display's the search results.

[Colby]

I bet I could make those keyboard buttons look like your skin. If youre interested. ( I mean I still have the original buttons)

[scottw]

That woud be a yes for me!!!! This was just an attempt for me but I am sure you could make it alot better. Maybe one of these days I could get as good as you guys

Thanks Colby!!!!

[Naylia]

That'd be cool Colby. Thanks for the help!

It's me or the mimic feature under settings does not work ? When i click it, the ppc screen and pc screen are not in sync, moreover it could be usefull to know the status ( synced or not).

Another idea would be to put a sync button on the main page which could be highlighted when ppc screen are synced with the server and clicking the button would toggle the sync.

[Naylia]

I'll check the mimic feature. It's been a while since I used it.

Thanks Naylia, forgot to say that i really like your work, thanks for this amazing skin.

[Tlvenn]

Just noticed another glitch for the ppc screen, the audio playlist does not seem to work, it's always empty, on the server it works great. (using foobar if it matters). Can someone told me if it works for them plz ?

Thanks in advance.

By the way, is there a way to control the volume under my music section (ppc screen) ?

[Tlvenn]

Btw for the sync button, if you decide to integrate it, you could use the nav_refresh button from the MP skin you used.

Hi Naylia...

Thanks for the great skin... Been using it for a while now...!

I am trying to create a new "My Pictures" menu and as im new to this i am having trouble...

I have managed to create the new screen and have it all working but i have my pictures in folders and once i enter a folder i cant seem to come back out without going back to the menu...

also I would like to eventually be able to do a slideshow of the photos in each folder too...?

any help would be appreciated...

Regards

Bradley

bradley,

you'd probably be better off asking these questions in the forum as a whole since these aren't specific to the skin (if i knew how to work out all the kinks i would have added them myself )

Hi Naylia...

I seem to have figured it all out now... all working...!!!

I just need to figure out how to control sageTV i have my control working on xlobby but it doesnt work for sagetv..

[Naylia]

what doesn't work for sage?

Sage should be running, asleep, in the background. Pressing the 'My TV' button will wake Sage up and correctly transfer focus if you are using Sage 4 or higher.

If you are running SageClient a minor find/replace needs to be done on one of the command files.
