I tweaked the pm3 theme a bit. Changed a few animations and some xml.

Just thought, hey, why not share it?

Ofcourse i'm thanking all the ppl working on the orginal PM3 and Mike for the Acer homescreen idea.

Oh and i forgot: it's only the 16x9 resolutions i edited.

I really like this mate and, in some ways, it's better than the current PM3 home screen...it does indeed lend itself to new possibilities for home-screen editing!

Love it!

Enables so many options but in a much neater format.
The current PM3 home screen is just too busy and crowded in its current format with the favourites menu as well as all else

Great Work, I like it alot!

Quick request though. When you are playing music and the visualization is playing in the background, can you make it so that it covers the complete background in the home screen. As of now it just plays in the right 3/4 of the screen. Most likely because that was all that was needed in the original PM3.

Thanks!

And great work again.

The remainder became very good.

Awsome.

I think this has answered everyones questions about what should be done with the pm3 home page,  I havent tried it yet,  but do the background images reflect the current pm3 images?  

The only thing that I think still needs to be addressed with pm3 is a pop out menu bar for the common views,  Vision and a few others have this, and I think this really makes effective use of the space.

Thanks for sharing,  and Jez....   I hope those Ideas of your come into fruition soon.   biggrin.gif

That's very nice!! The ideas about slide out menu's in PM3 is exactly how i was going to do "PM3 Horizons". As i wanted to use more of the screen for all video's/music/tv shows/etc. I thought either having a slideout menu, or just placing the buttons toward the top. Great way of doing the home page. Nice looking!! Thanks for sharing that with us.  love.gif

Any ideas why can't I see the 3d view list option in music?
I also can't see the 3d wrap view in Blackbolt-Classic either but xTv has the tilted video library.

I have the newest builds of xbmc and all skins from the svn repository

Ok yes its nice but am I missing something here that your not apart from the home screen which is very nice the only real difference I see is a transperant back drop instead of the normal one

jezz_X does has a point, but that still does not detract from the fact that it looks nice.  I just wish those Background images would fade in when selecting a menu item, rather than just popping up.

And the texture over the album covers is just not a great solution.


I can add the fading, i'll make it an option, because it will make the navigation look slow.

And what do u mean by the texture over the album covers?

Post by: cooljerk_dv on September 26, 2007, 01:25:00 AM
I love it . . .

for a while now I've been thinking that the current pm3 home screen doesn't quite fit anymore with the rest of the evolving skin.  (transparency glass look, and more modern/sleek)

this is a step in the right direction for the home screen to go ..

I love the current PM3 skin Jezzx... .  and hope in the future the homescreen will be more customizable with more transparency and modern looks.  I hope the ideas you got from this mod go towards the excellent evolution of this skin (Pm3)

Its great!  Any way you can remove the pause button?  

I looked at the xpr a long time ago and forgot if it was possible to do it or not (you hit the a button and a pause blade comes out).


Awesome mod.  love.gif

I've tried a lot of skins but I like the usability of the PM3 skin, but this freshens it up greatly and I'd love to see some additions to make it even better.  Great job guys!!

Why don't people just don't understand that the error is not about the version of dashboard. The error specifically states that the SKIN not the dash needs to be a higher version.

what? i understand that pre 2 skins don't work on post 2 dashes. what i am saying is that i haven't had any problems running pm3mod. i did not give a solution, because the skin worked when it first came out on whatever the current build was running at the time, and it has worked for me on the next 6 or 7 builds i've used since, including the newest one.

So basically what you are saying and what some others say is that because it worked for you and these others we who have problems must not have the latest build? Thats what it always sounds like.


Yeah,.... um I don't think any of us are that stupid. I think we would know if we DL'd the latest stuff.

Man bloodfin, why does it always seem like you're out to be argumentative? The way I see it, aka Stixx was merely stating what happens with him. He is just saying that it works for him, no where did I see any direct argument on his part saying that you or anyone else are stupid and don't have the latest build...

you were making a direct reply (which sure seems like a direct arguement to me) to aka stixx's comment:

All I was saying is that in Aka Stixx's comment he wasn't even implying that you didn't have the latest build... Therefore a comment like your "yeah,.... um i don't think any of us are that stupid..." which implies that he called you stupid, was uncalled for and not even relevant to the current conversation.  

Furthermore, when I say you were being "argumentative" i meant you were kind of being rude, not necessarily trying to "argue" someone's advice... since i was talking about your response to aka stixx's comments which didn't even include any advice to begin with...

So when you say that you didn't argue and that all your saying is that its not a problem with the date of the build nor is it a problem with the skin.... I am just saying if you feel like that than fine, but you making comments about that situation directly against what aka stixx said (which had nothing to do with this) made it sound like you were being rude to him...

That's all I'm saying...

Furthermore:
QUOTE
Regardless, when you reply to something with the first line being that of which he replied in one knows what they are getting to now wouldn't they wink.gif ?

What the heck are you trying to say in that sentence?

You said:
QUOTE
I guess I only sound so argumentative because some people reply to my posts with crap like this

How exactly was my response to your's "crap"? like i said before, I thought you were being rude to aka stixx... So now your basically implying that this is a big misunderstanding and that your comments weren't against aka stixx.. than it certanly didn't seem that way considering how you phrased your words...

but whatever man...

In my last post I WAS "argueing" you in a sense which is why I had all of your little quotes.

As for me not contributing to the topic... you complaining all the time, and implying that people are calling each other stupid, isn't contributing either. But that said at least you're right that other people shouldn't have to read this in this forum.

I just thought that you should and could have rephrased some of the things you said so it would sound less like "fighting" remarks. My opinion, and if you disagree than so be it. This is the last i'm going to say about this subject.

@ Bloodfin:

I just downloaded the pm3mod from a few pages back as well as the t3ch build that just came out yesterday, the pm3 mod works for me no problem... It was as easy as that for me. So we know for a fact it's not xbmc in general that's causing your problems bloodfin so it must be something that you save between each update... something in your userdata folder perhaps? The things I save are my skins, plugins, scripts, and userdata folder... whats different about my userdata than your's i have no idea... perhaps someone with more experience can comment on what possibly can be present in the userdata folder that causes the whole 2.00 skin error?

Maybe to confirm that the error lies in your userdata folder back yours up, and then just transfer use the new one that comes by default in each build of xbmc... if the pm3mod works then you know your problem is in your userdata folder...

maybe i'm typing all this and you fixed the problem, i don't know... but thats my two cents.
