There's a few tweaks you might need to make... the preview and thumbnails are bleeding through the bottom and right sides. Also, IE doesn't like the XML (Look for ["t] in the text and a few other things). IE can be a pain in the ass, but it's a good sanity check to make sure everything matches up.

Very nice concept, and clean looking. Definitely one to impress!

Crap!!!
I knew there would be a few tweaks a needed to make.
Ill Clean it up and make a version 1 out of it, Also the folder was suppose to be the background
again. So in the MXM_skin.xml instead of

<Resource Type="Image" Name="Folder">
      <File>Folder.wmv</File>
   </Resource>
It was suppose to be
   <Resource Type="Image" Name="Folder">
      <File>Menuback.wmv</File>
   </Resource>

Guess i was to busy making the Videos

As you can probably see BJ a lot of the code is borrowed from your skin so didnt do much from scratch

But ill do my best to Fix and test it so it will work for everyone

Im glad you guys liked the skin,
Im trying to figure something out, Everything works fine, the only thing thats buggy now its when it uses the thumbnail (still image) from a homebrew app or game as a screenshot (you know detects it by itself, not the ones we make) it displays it bigger than the regular screenshots,
so it goes all out of my tv frames, and the small thumbnail gets squished to one side, I upened it up in Explorer and everuthing looks good now but no go.

Maybe a more experienced skinner out there could also have a look and see whats going on??

heres the cleaned up MXM_skin.xml file I made (right click and save as)

By the way, If you allready got the skin This FIle will work better

Once I work out all the bugs Ill bundle everyhting up again and call that skin ver 1
(this was ver .9

)

Blaze: Try to disable your firewall. I had the same problem with Norton Firewall 2002.

thanks cofi...
yea ive got norton internet security running on my comp. disabled it and now everything's cool...

blaze_1ne · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2003, 03:22:00 AM »

one more question...
i just downloaded this skin from allxboxskins. ran mxm just to check things out. the video and screenshot leak out from their respective screens. so i got that updated mxm_skin file from this forum, replaced it with the other one. but it still leaks out and looks the same as the one before...
im trying to read through the xml file to figure out where their respective tags are placed. so i was wondering if anyone could point them out to me...

thanks in advance...

I dont know what the hell happened, so I just kind of re-wrote everything not changing much realy, and now it works

Well get the new MXM_skin.xml (right click and save as)

and your troubles should be over.

Koldfuzion ill sen an e-mail so you can update the skin in you site AGAIN!
