[03:10:35] | mag0o: | need some input, which looks better: http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/video_justified.png or http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/video_rightvcenter.png |
[03:11:43] | wagnerrp: | thats the bourne identity, not justified |
[03:12:19] | mag0o: | hehe |
[03:12:22] | mag0o: | funny guy |
[03:12:27] | ** wagnerrp hides ** | |
[03:17:29] | iamlindoro: | The right aligned just doesn't look quite right to me, but it may be that you give so little horizontal space to the column |
[03:17:52] | iamlindoro: | It makes me wonder which would look better if you took up more of the space closer to the poster |
[03:18:36] | mag0o: | well, i have the poster size actually bigger than the poster, in case i run across a weird poster...not sure if that would ever happen though |
[03:18:36] | iamlindoro: | You're pressed right up against the right border, but you leave all that free space between the poster and right column |
[03:19:27] | iamlindoro: | Generally speaking posters will almost always be 2:3 or skinnier |
[03:19:38] | iamlindoro: | I think you might be allowing for more than you need to |
[03:20:17] | mag0o: | here is how much area I give it: http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/coverart_area.png |
[03:20:22] | mag0o: | so, that's probably too much? |
[03:20:43] | iamlindoro: | I think probably yes |
[03:21:05] | mag0o: | ok, I was wondering, and also trying to decide between using coverart or fanart/screenshots |
[03:21:24] | mag0o: | so I'll stick with the coverart, and give the textareas more room to see how they look |
[03:21:35] | iamlindoro: | screenshots tend to be very low resolution as provided by our sources |
[03:21:44] | iamlindoro: | so if you do use them, you won't want them that large |
[03:21:49] | mag0o: | maybe that's where I came up with all that room, when i was playing with the fanart/screenshots |
[03:21:52] | mag0o: | k |
[03:21:55] | iamlindoro: | fanart is up to you but yeah, tends to be 16:9 |
[03:30:14] | mag0o: | so, how's this look? http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/video_moreroom.png |
[03:31:52] | mag0o: | or justified http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/video_morejustify.png |
[03:38:48] | iamlindoro: | full justified always looks weird to me |
[03:39:00] | iamlindoro: | my gut reaction is that right justified looks better, but that's just gut reaction |
[03:40:40] | mag0o: | i felt the same |
[03:41:05] | iamlindoro: | Which is funny since I'm pretty sure I wrote the patch to add full justified text :) |
[03:41:10] | iamlindoro: | and yet I've probably never used it |
[03:41:16] | mag0o: | hehe |
[03:41:44] | iamlindoro: | Was just when I was going through and seeing what "free" text manipulation functionality we could get from Qt that we weren't already using |
[03:43:19] | mag0o: | heh, so, left justify throws off the labels, huh? http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/video_moreleft.png |
[03:43:56] | iamlindoro: | Yes, though there's nothing stopping you from putting those left too |
[03:45:19] | mag0o: | true |
[03:47:34] | mag0o: | i think we may have worked it into a good position – http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/video_moreleftlabels.png |
[03:48:36] | iamlindoro: | "Director" and the director name are spaced differently from "Description" and the description |
[03:48:43] | iamlindoro: | I would bring those parallel |
[03:49:01] | iamlindoro: | or at least make all the labels and texts be identically relative to one another |
[03:50:37] | abqjp (abqjp!~abqjp@71-37-148-206.albq.qwest.net) has quit (Quit: abqjp) | |
[03:52:10] | mag0o: | they're all in 10px, but that does appear to be off by a pixel |
[03:52:18] | iamlindoro: | much more than a pixel |
[03:52:26] | iamlindoro: | many pixels |
[03:52:35] | iamlindoro: | if they're the same dimensions, then your align is off |
[03:52:42] | iamlindoro: | ie, one of the is top, the other center, etc. |
[03:53:50] | mag0o: | hmm |
[03:54:53] | mag0o: | would it just be the font size change? http://pastebin.com/MZjqXuV0 |
[03:55:16] | iamlindoro: | You are not showing the rest of the XML |
[03:55:17] | mag0o: | goes from pixelsize 14 to 22 |
[03:55:28] | iamlindoro: | director <-> description |
[03:55:41] | iamlindoro: | those labels and texts are unmatched |
[03:55:45] | mag0o: | ohhhhh |
[03:55:47] | mag0o: | doh |
[03:55:56] | mag0o: | i was looking at director -> director name |
[03:56:05] | mag0o: | oops |
[03:56:15] | iamlindoro: | right, those two as related to description and description text |
[03:59:13] | mag0o: | yeah, I change the align. director has left,vcenter while description has left,top |
[03:59:49] | mag0o: | descrlabel inherits from directorlabel and changes position and value only |
[04:03:10] | mag0o: | http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/video_samealign.png makes both aligns left,top |
[04:04:53] | iamlindoro: | looks better-- are the director: and description: labels both at the same vertical level? |
[04:05:31] | mag0o: | yes |
[04:05:54] | mag0o: | the description label inherits from the director label and only changes the position and value |
[04:06:19] | iamlindoro: | right, but it's the position I'm asking about |
[04:06:27] | mag0o: | and the only position that changes is the X value (in from left side, i always forget if that's X or Y) |
[04:06:33] | iamlindoro: | but if they're the same, then cool |
[04:06:44] | iamlindoro: | tough to tell visibly since there's so much space between them |
[04:07:12] | iamlindoro: | looks clean now |
[04:07:12] | mag0o: | i put my big red box behind them to see :) |
[04:07:32] | mag0o: | thanks for the input |
[04:11:21] | mag0o: | and it doesn't look too shabby on the tv either :) |

[13:35:01] | mag0o: | so working with video-ui.xml – with http://pastebin.com/mHYfRfS9 what would cause http://pastebin.com/1DRVjb9a |
[13:44:02] | justinh: | I think in the list view it has to be a buttontree not buttonlist |
[13:44:25] | justinh: | oh yeah "In the "tree" window (List View), it must be a buttontree" |
[13:45:12] | mag0o: | ah, missed that. that must be what's discussed in the discussion page on the wiki |
[13:45:42] | mag0o: | i'll go over that again, thanks for the extra set of eyes |
[13:46:26] | mag0o: | ah, its not even in the discussion part, its on the wiki page itself |
[13:46:32] | mag0o: | go ahead, trout me |
[13:47:21] | justinh: | lol |
[14:38:10] | iamlindoro: | !trout mag0o literacy |
[14:38:10] | ** MythLogBot slaps mag0o with a literacy trout on behalf of iamlindoro... ** | |
[15:24:08] | justinh: | mag0o: looks like we could be on the same wavelength themewise... well *ish* |
[15:24:18] | mag0o: | heh, really? |
[15:24:27] | justinh: | oh wait.. horizontal menus? Forget I said that lol |
[15:24:32] | mag0o: | :) |
[15:25:06] | justinh: | I've toyed with horizontal lists but I found myself being drawn back to the old ways |
[15:25:43] | mag0o: | yeah, it's hard to actually try to keep everything horizontal. I use a vertical list for the file browser |
[15:26:26] | justinh: | I tried a mixture in the PBB & it kind of worked but it's a PITA |
[15:26:35] | mag0o: | but that actually looks 'right' there |
[15:26:44] | justinh: | yeah I think so too |
[15:26:55] | justinh: | MOARINFOONSCREEN ftw |
[15:27:07] | justinh: | I mean more info as opposed to more *list* |
[15:27:27] | mag0o: | yeah |
[15:27:37] | justinh: | collapsible areas :D :-P |
[15:28:33] | mag0o: | heh |
[15:29:46] | justinh: | well, hometime. I gotta pick up a new phone set on the way |
