Christmas Theme for SageMC
UPDATE: These themes are now available for download
Holiday Snowman Theme 2nd one is the ChristmasTree Theme 3rd one is the Holiday Sleigh Theme more to come... Well its the Holiday Season and I thought it would be a good time to try some new looks for my HTPC setup. I kind of like some of the backgrounds I found and thought I'd share the Holiday spirit with everyone. I've been toying with making a simple Christmas Theme for SageMC these past few weeks and finally found the time to work on it today. I'm not completely done yet, but thought I'd post some previews and get any input from the masses before I uploaded these. Mostly what I've done is find a bunch of nice Holiday, Winter and Christmas Background images usable for SageMC. I then took the BlueTwo icons and added a little Christmas touch to them. These examples are using a Horizontal menu style but you could do pretty much anything with this. Here's some of the main menus with different backgrounds: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Let me know if you have any suggestions, comments or questions. I'll try to get something for you to download tomorrow if all goes well. Last edited by Brent; 12-16-2008 at 09:34 PM. |

Holiday Theme 1 - Holiday Snowman
Finally got back to this today and now have the first theme posted. This first one is the "Holiday Snowman" theme for SageMC. I'll have a few more soon.

If anyone would like to put the Santa hat on an icon I've included that image file called "santahatsmall.jpg" that you could photoshop your icon with. If you run into any problems with this theme download or have any questions suggestions let me know. Holiday Snowman Theme Download I'll have a few more Christmas Holiday themes with additional background images available soon. Last edited by Brent; 12-14-2008 at 09:54 PM. |

Very nice Brent! I did do the HolidaySnowman.layout but my icons are still showing as the nBlue Icons. HELP!

If you did and it isn't installing the icons, check this folder: STVs\SageTV3\SageMCE\Themes\HolidaySnowman\MenuIcons and look at the icons there. Do they have the santa hat? |

Yes I installed the theme and I have the background. I even installed the layout. Beautiful.
and I do have the icons in the folder. but the nblue icons are showing up instead. |

I'm kind of stumped as to why it isn't working for you - anyone else have an idea? |

The icons are defined in menu.xml. Did you include a separate one? Does the nblue theme use custom icon names thus breaking the conversion to a new themes icons? I am too new to SageMC (again) to offer more than this..

bcjenkins may be on to something. Dynamic menus is pointing to n_bluemenu.xml

I think if you remove the path from the icon definitions in your dynamic menu definition file, then it will look for that filename in the current theme.

Here's the fix. I went to dynamic menu and load other menu and selected sagemc_menu.xml

I'm wondering if you had previously set your icons to the NBlue icons manually via Dynamic menus. If so, they might have "stuck" even after installing a new theme. Just a thought. I just installed the theme via the download on a test PC and the icons showed up. If anyone else is having trouble getting the icons to automatically install like this let me know. |
