Alaska Resurface [WDTV LIVE HUB & SMP]

Hi,

need this Theme the Medialibary?  

Regards 

Hi Joey

I’m so glad to see you have persisted with this theme design of yours Joey, despite your severe knock back of losing your WIP due to the hub. It really is a breath of fresh Alaskan air!! :smiley:

There appears to be some clever coding here as I don’t know how you have been able to pull the different fanart/ screenshots for the image view (2nd image down on the right (Watchmen Movie) from 1st page random screenshots), especially when you aren’t using your original moviesheet design and are now ONLY using jpeg thumbs?

I’m also intrigued upon how you have been able to achieve such a competent theme using the latest FW, which is the one i am using at the mo due the recent BBC iPlayer addition by WD.

Intrigued and Gobsmacked at your persistence! :wink:

Regards

Architectonic

PS- Lots of Kudos to you! :wink:

This is GREAT news Joey.

Was hoping you might find time to continue this after loosing much of your work.

It is appreciated and i for one love your work and find your themes suit my taste best.

This theme looks amazing!!

Thanks again :slight_smile:

Stunning,

Its very clean and awesome.

Looks very impressive.  Thank you for all the work you’ve put into this.  I’m looking forward to trying it out. 

Hi Joey

_Achieved by modifying    metadata_view_backdrop.xml _

Brilliant work !!!, so this could mean that we no longer need to use your original moviesheet design (movie thumb and fanart generated using TG), which only worked with FW 2.0.17 using the png to jpg renaming trick?

If so then this would be the end of the notoriuos PNG issue. :wink:

Also, I have noticed that the are 1280x 720 background fanart images behind the white masking background on your other screenshots…I’m guessing this is created by editting the same XML code?

Great work once again Joey!

I’m a new WDTV Live Hub owner, can’t wait to replace the default theme with Alaska. Hope it works with the current firmware! Thanks for all your hard work!!!

Hi Joey,

I’ll take that as a NO then!! :cry:

I was only speculating…albeit rather wishfully.

I will look forward to your beta release to find out more.

Great Work Joey!!!

I have not been checking in on the forum that much lately, but now it will be a daily task.

Looking forward to trying out this new theme.

Great News Joey!
