Cool new MP skin

evilpenguin · #1 08-04-2006, 12:30 PM

This has nothing to do with Sage, but check out this new Media Portal skin.

http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=17555

I may have to play around with some of her images to see if I can put together a new SageMC theme based off of this.

Pretty sweet. When are you going to have the SageMC Images download for it???

This is fairly straightforward... This is how I made the Razor Theme as well... Post the new 3DMP theme on the Sage Wiki and Sage Download site when you get it done...

EDIT: Done... Download this file, extract it into your SageMC Folder within SageTV and add these lines to your sage.properties file (when Sage is completely shut down of course...)

ui/themes/X/image_root=Images_Razor
ui/themes/X/title=Razor

...where 'X' indates the number of themes that you have.

Damn your fast

Can't wait to try it out, the pictures look great!

Just a heads up. The download link doesn't seem to be working.

Aloha,

It works... it's on the Sage Wiki. Click the download link and then you have to click again on the wiki...

So, in your opinion (anyone that wants to respond), is the Razor or this new theme the best?

I'm still more of a Blue2 fan myself...

Sorry about that. The link to the wiki wasn't working this morning, but it's working for me now. Thanks!

Aloha,

Opps, my bad. I manned up and posted an apology, hopefully I won't get too badly flamed over there

Edit: Opps, didn't see that Jason already beat me too it

geogecko · #12 08-23-2006, 02:26 PM

Ouch.

Well, I never got around to trying this out, but looks as if I won't get the chance.

Sad to see that the MP community generally agrees that we shouldn't use their graphics.

I totally agree with asking permission first, as was done before, with the first MP port, but sometimes, in the excitement of it all, that can be forgotten about. But that's no excuse.

Next time, we should make an attempt at asking them before making any posts, or posting the download. Hopefully, we can avoid this from happening again.

Well personally I tried 3DMP but didn't really care for it. They can keep it!

Too bad some of the good will could not be shared as you were helping them with their DVD burning feature to begin with. From seeing MP I think they got some of their ideas and designs from elsewhere...

OK... they apparantly may have done the 'right thing' and taken down the post... It was very 'spiteful' to begin with...

I'm the guy everyone should be pointing at... However, I have sent a PM to Vanessa to ask for her permission to use her work for a skin.

I don't think the DVD burning plugin in MP ever panned out. The MP programmer that I was working with ran into a bunch of huge road blocks and hasn't really been heard from again. So it wasn't the most successful good will mission, but I was planning on approaching the devs again once I finish my move

Edit: Okay's right, the DVD burning plugin is still alive and kicking, hooray!

MeInMaui · #17 08-23-2006, 03:40 PM

Hmmm...I posted in the MP thread offering the use of any of my sageMC graphics as a goodwill offering to MP community. I guess that's lost in the ether now. Oh well, my post seemed to be completely ignored in subsequent posts before the thread was removed anyway.

Aloha,
Mike

This was never a SageTv vs MP-thing. Just a hard working artist that suddenly saw all off her hard (and free) work beeing used by a commercial application.

It's still beta, you know... (BETA2 - preview). It is gonna be the default skin for MP (0.3) - and it looks great!

Good to see everyone "doing the right thing".

Btw:

There is a MyBurmer-plugin now, and it works great.

Yes, I also found it quite interesting and remarkable that nobody over there found it necessary to directly respond or at least acknowledge any of the posts of Jason, Mike, or evilpenguin. I couldn't envision something like that here in the forums ...

Sage may be a commercial application; however, it was the community that was trying to improve the product for their own use. No one was trying to sell it and make $$ off her work as she implied. The entire tone was someone stole her work and was using it to generate a profit, which simply isn't true.

I agree her permission should have been sought before using it, but the reaction was a little extreme. I was amazed at all the talk of a lawsuit over a few graphics before even talking to the other party. Especially when no one involved was making a profit from using them.

Anyway it's good that everyone involved agrees the skin shouldn't be used.
