Hi guys

Ive started this thread to keep you updated with the progress of my Xbmc style skin based on Welo, google welo xbmc and your see why.

The purpose of this skin is to keep it unclutered and using a font size that wont strain your eyes when viewing from a 10' away couch, also there only be icons that you actually need to see.

Ill also be posting screenshots of work already done and working on my Duo i will also be asking for help as im not familar with all the code that goes into making a skin.:p:p:thumbsup:

InfoBar

This is what i want for the graphical epg,
The oly thing i cant get right is the showing of the picon in the bottom right hand corner, the channel name for the epg as those picons can be hard to see from 10' away and also the epg guide colors which are the original green,blue etc.
Otherwise its all there.

14421

This is what im getting so far

Anyone got any ideas if you can have the main menu behave like the menu does in xbmc confluence skin like below.

14426

My idea below is either to have the menu with 6 menu items showing or just 1 menu item with arrows pointing in either direction.

What do you guys think...

Just with the code below.

What do you think the menu should look like, did u read post 3 (http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?15605-WIP-Xbmc-Style-Skin-for-VIX&p=113850&viewfull=1#post113850) theres a couple of alternatives unless you have an idea

I quite like the one on the right, large text. (screenshot16).

mcquaim
01-02-12, 21:09
I think I like the other (screenshot10) :cool:

Maybe the highlight (white blur ) should be narrowed to only highlight the centre item that you are currently on??

Looks class though, great work :thumbsup:

01-02-12, 21:13
Would it be too much work to make a sub menu where you could select the menu type you wanted ?

markus625
01-02-12, 23:47
I was thinking why take up that real estate for just a menu and maybe something like the confluence skin could be implemented,some mockups below
let me know what you think guys.:wave:

Guys can you help me out with this, im getting the gray background behind the text and i wanted to use something like the image below that sits behind the text.
14519

The Image i want to use behind selected text which i have coded with selectionPixmap="XBMC_test/images/menu_selected_overlay1.png"
14520

Would like it like the image below.

14521

This is what ive got so far.

<widget source="menu" render="Listbox" position="23,16" size="430,165" zPosition="1" scrollbarMode="showNever" enableWrapAround="1" transparent="1" foregroundColor="gray" backgroundColor="window-bg" selectionPixmap="XBMC_test/images/menu_selected_overlay1.png">
<convert type="TemplatedMultiContent"> {"template": [MultiContentEntryText(pos = (20,6), size = (430, 55), flags = RT_HALIGN_CENTER, text = 0), ],"fonts": [gFont("scoutcond", 52)], "itemHeight": 55}
</convert>

Ive based this on the vix_Night_HD skin

As is the norm managed to get it in the end.

changed <color name="window-sel-fg" value="#00ffffff" /> to white

It looks class markus, very different but best looking skin I've seen (Sorry Vix guys... :o )

I'm just curious, what language is that and where did you even start with this, blank canvas or based on another skin's code?

based on xbmc skins really.

Sandman
02-02-12, 14:48
Language?

based on xbmc skins really.

I think he means what language is a skin written in......its mostly xml & html?

I'd love to spend the time doing one...mcquaim is right though, basing it on a successful HTPC interface can only be a good thing :)

mcquaim
02-02-12, 15:19
Cheers Sandman, it was the language it was written in alright I was asking about.. I have seen some html before but this must be some crazy assed advanced html lol.

Is it possible to open up and existing skin and see the code, curious now? :)

What i do mcquaim is to use adobe fireworks for the gui and use xmlspy to code it using the vix-night-hd skin as a donor skin for it.

looking really good mate can't wait to use this skin keep up the good work

markus625
02-02-12, 19:24
There are loads of other screens in the skin.xml but i may end up leaving them the same as the vix_night_hd as its this skin that im modifying.

But patience my dear friends.

Just wanna get the quickepg done but this requires some work from andyblac to get sorted.

Sorry about the quality there not HD resolution.Looks much better on screen.

Well, a multi satellite dish also provides multi satellites :confused:

In Magic-HD I implemented that as

<widget source="ServiceEvent" render="Label" position="400,408" size="100,22" backgroundColor="secondBG" transparent="1" zPosition="1" foregroundColor="secondFG" font="Regular;21" halign="right">

I meant to say i only have a fixed satallite dish.

you cant go asking for ETA's. The guy is doing this all in his own time. dont worry when he's happy to release i'm sure he will. until then please be patient.

For all I know this might have already been released but I might have missed it, or there's an earlier release that I missed.

Larry-G
03-02-12, 12:22
Dont worry you wont miss the release. all i'm asking is that you respect the author and allow him to work at his own pace, it's not in his nor any ones interest to rush a release.

Lets say this guys, im designing this really for my own needs and to share with you guys, i own a VU+ DUO and cant see why it couldnt be used on other images etc but i only have a duo so cant really develop this for the ultimo as i dont own one, but i dont intend on spending days upon days developing more skins unless i see a improvment to this skin really.
But i lost my job at BT just before christmas and hope to be back in work pretty soon, so im doing this while looking for work etc and have the time.

But back to the skin, heres the Information screen.

If it works on ViX Duo image I should imagine it will work with all ViX images.

markus625
03-02-12, 12:51
Do any of you guys think this is possible.

In the pvrstate instead of displaying the text i.e || , > , etc but to display an image such as the pause image etc.
Ive write this code but didnt work but i didnt expect it and i didnt really expect it would work first time around.

Was just about to say that. Skin compatibility is image-dependant, not hardware related.

And about a time-schedule: I remember I spent literally hundreds of hours creating Magic-HD, starting with zero knowledge.

Been working on the IMDB, thought it needed a spruce up, only some things dont get scrapped like the title or director or year/runtime etc and the poster only shows when yellow orange key is press and goes off when the extra info blue key is pressed when the plot is displayed.

But shows what can be done anyway.

03-02-12, 20:07
Im not exactly sure how it works but im guessing it uses the title and year from the epg data and then tries to find a match on imdb and pulls all the info from there. But andy might have a better idea

As far as ive been using it so far, theres no speed slowdowns due to the images being optimized.

@ Markus:
are you aware that nowadays 'Templates' are supported? That saves a lot of coding time, and skin parsing is much faster as well.
If you open the skin 'PLi-HD' you can see how this works.

What do you guys think of which i should go for from the two mockups below for the infobar, either with the shortcut buttons on the top left with the clock on the right or without the shortcut buttons in the other mockup.
I think as soon as you start adding more information it starts to look cluttered.

Without imo looks better

I like the clean look of the second one the first looks too cluttered.

04-02-12, 13:45
yeah, the second one looks better.
It's nice to know what options you have though, have you tried different placements? mabe centered at the bottom?

markus625
04-02-12, 13:59
So many options hey?

How about this with a black bar at the top with day and clock displayed, i personally allready know that i can press those colored buttons to get differant options, not sure if i need to see them thru.

Agree, clean and simple looks best. You could always include the buttons on infobar 2??

markus625
04-02-12, 14:52
This is what ive come up with, if look at the image below the clock has been moved to the infobar and two bars at the side of the progress bar one green for update and the other red for a recording taking place which obviously blink on/off.

I prefer the 2nd mockup as do like the screen to be uncluttered but the buttons are useful to new users,, perhaps enable them as a second OK press?

irishchris

No job as yet guys but had a interview on tuesday and been doing some job prospect hunting etc.

But heres the latest update as of 10th feb 12, been working on fine adjustments to the infobars,channelselection etc and also doing the boring stuff like menus, etc etc.

Theres some screenshots below which i took today which includes the Quickepg which i think is quite differant and also the EventSimple screenshot (still needs some work i think), you have to press the epg key when either in quickepg or th epgguide.

Still some work to do im afraid before i can release it...

Enjoy....

Coming on really well though markus :thumbsup:

Are you refering to the big clock in the right hand corner, after some thought and looking at the other screen items i thought that the big clock didnt fit in with skin and looked at having the clock descretly in the corner and also the shortcut buttons would fit in nice too.

mcquaim
10-02-12, 13:09
Yeah, thought the larger text looked classier, just my opinion though! Not sure on the new clock icon either..

Yeh i could do but would need to know what code i would use to generate the 10th if you know what i mean

I know this code
<convert type="ClockToText">Format:%A</convert> generates the day but dont know what generates the date.

Now we have the day,date and time

Now what can i name this skin, cant be just xbmc or a skin name from xbmc etc.

Seeing that the main XBMc skin is Confluence and i want to suggest that this skin is xbmc influenced why not just name it XBMcInfluenced.

I think it deserves better than 'XBMcInfluenced'!

hey guys is there a way that you can truncate the description text to a maximum word count so it doesnt look like it being cut off, when i was using Yamj there was a stylesheet you could use that would truncate a phrase to a maximum number of letters/words etc.

have a look at the link
http://www.aaronland.info/xsl/string/truncate-phrase/ but im not sure if this could be implemented in vix etc.

Btw Xperience-HD would be a nice name. With this skin we'll experience HDTV like never before :cool:

Its currently in progress, should be released when the new vix image is released as its uses features that are not yet compatable with the current vix2.3

so that we can test and send you logs..

As stanman said ViX Night HD will still be the default skin that comes with the image out of the box so to speak but the XBMC style skin will be available to download from the ViX section of the feeds.

08-04-12, 13:53
we have materials with very strong hardware but software still too weak, don't give you an interface that is very smart and fine and maximal informations about programs,all skins supported by enigma 2 didn't try to use internet to provide more informations about current program (logo, poster, more infos, images...) this is what developers should make..or not??

Thanks for link. Looks interesting. Not easily implemented but I may have look at skinning this type of layout, possibly though without submenus

Please do not use large font, its discourteous and we can comprehend your message with the use of normal text.

The image will be released as and when the beta team and Andy are happy it is stable.

BH has nothing to do with ViX and release schedules differ from image to image!!

Good things come to those who wait :p

The image will be released as and when we are good and ready to release it, posts like yours will not hasten that release and only serve to alienate your self. as for what other teams do thats entirely up to them, we are not in the habit of releasing unfinished images just to say we were the first nor will we.

and please next time use a smaller font.

thanks.

I've installed the Two version of the skin available in the feed for the 2.4 release.
I dont understand or notice differences between them. Can u write a description or post screenshot ?

Second:
In The channel list (arrow up/ down) the colour that highligts the channel (sort of blue) makes the text unreadable.
Maybe this is due to the fact that the background has a fading effect from grey to while and therefore the overlaping text color tends to blend with background

I'm using Vixbmc_HD_slim.
Epg works fine, only thing I've found missing is in pressing up button for channel/bouquet select, there's no coloured buttons, ie blue for favourites.

Has any body heard if markus625 is still developing this? I think it needs updating or something. On TM-Twin running latest vix, some parts don't display right.
