| [05:58:30] | k-man: | god, I am almost getting the hang of this theming business |
| [05:59:22] | k-man: | http://flip.dyndns.org/images/myth-screenshot . . . 9-10.269.png |
| [05:59:37] | k-man: | I'm working on making the buttons and selectors shapes rather than images |
| [05:59:47] | k-man: | and unifying the look of them |
| [05:59:53] | k-man: | I think it looks quite nice too |
| [06:00:08] | k-man: | still have some alignment issues though |
| [06:50:27] | justinh: | looking better :-) |
| [07:07:20] | justinh: | you know what, there's more than enough room on the program recpriority screen for an icon help panel |
| [07:07:24] | ** justinh makes it so ** | |
| [07:07:39] | justinh: | because I never know what all the icons mean either |
| [07:40:09] | justinh: | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15539509/programprio.png :-) |
| [07:40:28] | justinh: | this is all ending up looking very Sky plus-ish. Not sure about that. Heh |
| [07:43:44] | justinh: | starting to reach a point where I'd ordinarily be thinking about releasing it |
| [07:44:08] | justinh: | pretty much got all the major screens done, but I need to tackle MNV next |
| [07:44:21] | justinh: | oh and the metadata search results list of course |
| [07:50:15] | justinh: | k-man btw that's also a good example what can go wrong with scaling & alignment. that's run with -geometry 1200x675 – still a 16:9 ratio but look at what happened to the arrows |
| [07:50:58] | k-man: | yeah interesting |
| [07:51:17] | justinh: | the 5px button spacing becomes 675/720 * 5 & rounded (down IIRC) |
| [07:51:54] | k-man: | right |
| [07:51:58] | justinh: | course you can avoid that by not having button spacing |
| [07:52:25] | k-man: | anyway |
| [07:52:25] | justinh: | which when we talked about this yesterday wasn't at the front of my mind |
| [07:52:27] | k-man: | gtg bye |
| [07:52:35] | justinh: | have fun |
| [07:54:22] | justinh: | and now, to try this at 800x600 |
| [07:59:12] | justinh: | heh knew I'd have to rework stuff |
| [12:16:41] | k-man: | justinh, so do you think you can build your theme to work in both SD and HD? |
| [12:16:59] | k-man: | or more specificaly, at 4:3 and 16:9 |
| [12:18:35] | justinh: | that's what I'm aiming for. I have to |
| [12:19:44] | k-man: | you have to? |
| [12:19:49] | justinh: | yes I have to |
| [12:20:01] | justinh: | my tvout has no widescreen option |
| [12:20:06] | k-man: | I see |
| [12:20:07] | justinh: | and my 32" CRT TV is 16:9 |
| [12:23:35] | k-man: | my long term goal, if I ever finish MythCenter, is to unify MythCenter and MythCenterWide, but do so using template toolkit, so I can generate either theme from the one source |
| [12:24:43] | k-man: | but I expect I will either lose interest before then – or buy a wide screen TV, and lose interest in 4:3 |
| [13:55:48] | jpabq: | justinh, Try playing with <arrange>spread</arrange> in your buttonlists. It *may* help to get it looking better when shown at different resolutions. |
| [13:57:23] | justinh: | jpabq: been there. not going there again :-) |
| [13:58:04] | justinh: | might be worth a try though.. the main buttonlists where alignment with other objects really matters are all 9 items of 40px height with a spacing |
| [13:58:52] | justinh: | thanks to inheritance I only need to change one line too. woohoo! |
| [13:59:18] | jpabq: | Right. It can help with the variable amounts of spacing needed at different resolutions. |
| [16:04:27] | mag0o: | ++ lose interest in 4:3 |

| [18:39:47] | justinh: | jpabq: think you might be onto something. wonder why it didn't do the trick for me before |
| [18:51:28] | justinh: | jpabq: a bit more than a 1 line change really though.. having to adjust all the buttonlists which inherit it – but worth the effort |
| [19:03:41] | justinh: | that seems to be working a treat. thanks! |
| [19:09:09] | justinh: | oh there's a menu option for rule/etc sorting now |
| [19:09:27] | justinh: | so are the keybindings for those gone yet, or planned to go.. or? |
| [19:32:15] | justinh: | arghh I knew there was something |
| [19:32:25] | justinh: | shorter buttonlists end up too spread out |
| [19:35:49] | justinh: | ah but I could override that in the popups |
| [19:35:52] | justinh: | sorted :) |
| [20:17:04] | justinh: | arghh looks like moviesel stuff isn't working with a %TITLE% %RELEASEDATE% template |
| [20:27:29] | justinh: | bum. not even with the workaround used in Arclight either |
| [20:27:38] | justinh: | I'll have to come up with another way |
| [20:28:44] | justinh: | seems I can't even have textareas outside the list a la PBB either |
| [20:30:55] | justinh: | ahhh |
| [20:31:02] | justinh: | that old thing again |
| [20:31:28] | justinh: | textarea name="title" with <template>%TITLE% %OTHERSTUFF% works :-) |
| [21:02:00] | justinh: | once you load the list with a dummy textarea of course. heh |
| [21:02:40] | justinh: | I think the default themes (only looked at -wide) could do with that screen updating to at least show the year in addition to the title |
| [21:03:21] | justinh: | anybody cribbing from the defaults will end up down the same blind alley I did :) |
