That did it! Got it to work finally, I appreciate both of you for helping me through this heh, for some reason when I put the overlay (the copy of the moon and outside edges) ontop of the background, positioning is rather odd, it appears as they are lined up but there is a visable edge around the overlay picture that I cannot get to blend with the background, I've checked the alignments and they are spot on but can't seem to beat this edge effect with the overlay. Think I'll try to use the rectangle marquee tool with a sligh feathering to see if it defeats it. Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate the help.

No problem and sorry about the wrong tab. Let me know how you turn out with the feathering thing because I tried this once with an overlay and the same thing happend to me. I had a black background in the area so all of it should have shown up black but it did not. You could see the edge just like you mentioned. Anywho let me know if you get it working.

Hmm but then that means that you really have to load 2 background screens similar to how Electric does it. And I believe someone used photoshop to make the overlay's in Electric smaller and then they stuck those in UXA and they said it significantly reduced the loading time. But I guess a small addition to the loading time is a small price to pay for having no edge thing around the overlay.

Yes, very true. I however had not noticed a load time issue or even a slight lag to be honest, I'm using a super high res picture that is roughly 2Mb in filesize too.

I need help with just getting UXArchitect to work.  I installed NET Framework 1.1 and installed UXArchitect 1.0d and I am getting the same thing that Magemasher89 got.  I open up Architect, and it tells me to click on new project.  Well, I don't see this anywhere on screen, and I can't access a scroll bar if it is at the bottom of the screen.  I can't resize the window very much either.  Hectobleezy said that there were three options on the right side of the screen.  I can't even see the right side of the screen and can't get over there, either.  Is there a scroll bar at the bottom of the window?  I don't have any idea at all why I can't resize the window, though.  Any help would be great.  Looks like you guys have figured it out, so please share the knowledge.

You need to have your screen resolution set to 1024 x 768. If it is set to 800 x 600 you won't see the buttons on the right. I know there was a thread about this (perhaps even this one). Try searching for the thread if you need more help.

A huge thanks to Jonathan2007 for the help on the whole resolution thing.  I just could not figure it out for the life of me.  I got it now, thanks to you!  It is always awesome to get some help on the forums when I have no idea what I am doing.  Everything is working great now.  Thanks for the help, we need more people like you.  Well, I am going to try and make my own skin now.

Thanks jonathan2007 for helping everyone with UXA.  

I dont have time to update it anymore as Im very busy on another skinning project for MCE2005.

I have offered jonathan2007 the source code to UXA since I will no longer be visiting this forum after this post. My XBOX died and I dont want to buy another one if the new XBOX will be shipping this year.

Thank you everyone for the fun I had here and thank you for using UXA, so far ther has been over 6000+ downloads total(all websites). That blew me away!!!

Good Bye

Ok. Wow! I don't really know what to say other than it is quite a privilege to be able to have the source code to such a great app. I am not really a coder but I may take a look at it. If anyone that is talented or gifted (and I mean it not just some l33t person off the street) wants to help me with this then PM me. You will need some credentials. I am not sure if I will even get the source yet though so don't be impatient (I have emailed Hecto and asked for the source). Again PM me if you think you could help with the development of this app.

P.S. Hecto sent an email back to my request for the source code and he said he wanted to tidy it up a little before he sent it to me but that was a week or 2 ago so I don't know if he is still alive.

It's not possible to use layers for the Text Items in Visuals, right? I would like to use a bigger preview movie window, but would like to use that space for info about my disk / network / software versions when the video feature isn't being used. The video being the top layer, the text being the layer just under it.
