Not my style, but still looks nice.

Not for me either. In the words of Ron Burgandy, "I'm going to be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline."
btl.

I have a dozen or so sub theme options ready for the next release (some sub themes and some just different color options for the sub themes) and you will be able pick, what you like or what you feel like that day, through the theme option in advanced settings.

I know there are lots of WMC converts out there that like this style so I added as an option, no ones going to force you to use it

If you have a preference for a certain look or feel let me know (send samples or links via PM) and I'll see if I can work it into something.

One day I'll get used to criticism on work that I'm doing for free

Cheers,

J

Nah, you won't. But, you do need to accept that you can't please everyone, so stop trying. I've been trying to tell Plucky the same thing for months.

sweet...keep it coming.

I know we are running behind on our release. I think we are almost ready just need a bit more testing. Here is one more look for you figured diamond needed a Flow type view and liked this one from one of the xbmc skins it fit diamond.

Cheers

Thank you.

Very nice theme.

What I like about it the best is that it's easy on the eyes - black background so that the letterings stand out ( clean all around ).

I do have a question. How can I get the disk status bar on the bottom to display? I don't see it on mine.

Thanks for the link - I missed that - my bad.

Side question: Once I setup all of all of the options and fonts size I like on my PC running SageTV 7 service, if I want to make all of my extenders have the same setup, is the easiest way to accomplish this by removing the files in C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\clients ?

So that when I turn on my HD200 and HD300, it will pick up the new config? Or is this not a good way?

I would hate to sit on each extender and re-do each by hand since there are so many options to change.

IIRC removing the properties files for the extenders will cause them to default to server. But you also will have to redo the setup on each one I believe.

that should work

if the properties default to the server (which i believe they do) then you wont have to redo the setup at the extender....


moral of the story though is to try and make sure you have backups of the client properties files in case things go awry

Try it and let me know how it works

Just keep in mind that you have to configure your server's UI the way you like for this to work. I never even launch the UI on my server, so this wouldn't work for me (without some work).

If all goes well tonight, the next release is coming on the weekend. Plucky has done some more great work, just cleaning up themes and getting ready to post.

Me too. It's Saturday afternoon. Where is it! Do we have to wait 'til Sunday?

In all seriousness though, great work Pluky, Jorton, all else involved. Im sure it'll be well worth the wait.

Any chance we could get Diamond Theme to support the SlimPlayer plugin? The plugin works correctly but the surrounding box on the right side isn't quite right.
