My work is independent of joey’s work 
So i can’t speak for him
In my case, I don’t know 
Ok Thanks
I will just keep looking and waiting
Thanks dave
I tested the same moviesheet but with the info into the moviesheet and not using the xml : the png has same size :smileyvery-happy:
So i stop to “pollute” the thread 
Been busy with work,family and new house stuff.
And a bit distracted with some ‘strange happenings’ on the forum. 
(bizzare)
Anyways, i have read comments/ideas and have tried to implement some, thanks guys
So just a short list of little changes so far…
* Bigger Album Art and Cd Cover and Home Screen
* An Alternate Gallery View … uses the same new Moviesheet as the previous screens. (will supply both when i release it)
* Very slight rounded corners on Fanart now
* Glow on Posters in Moviesheet more evenly distributed around the poster
* List view graphic now has ‘faint’ line dividers (list is now 9 items instead of 11 because of this)
* New List “Focus Bar”

I WANT IT :smileyvery-happy:
I stop all my own dev because of you
great work as usual Joey. You have shown list view for movies and homescreen for music. How is the list view for music?
With the list view …
it’s the same as the youtube video on page(1)
I tried ‘lowering’ it … so it’s positioned on the “floor”
but that presents a ‘different’ problem…
the small thumbnails on the left side of screen in list view get thrown out of alignment.
Please note: this music list view and home playing music screen will not work with ‘embedded id3 tag artwork’
To achieve this ‘look’ you will need to supply a “SHEET” in the music folder.
This looks fantastic.
Will it work with all views and can you add dvd covers with reflection or is it with no covers.
Great Work
Genius work sir, hands up to you!
Pity about that sicko! I reckon jealousy got the better of him?

Joey, just a question for me
What is the size of each moviesheet ?
Thx allot 4 the larger cd cover st the home screen
Rest of the change r gr8
R there any changes in album art in list view?
A small suggestion for videos in gallery view;
movie title appears below the movie poster looks repetitive & is of no use.
Instead of that, arrows on the floor + number of the movie/ total no of movies would be helpful.
Once again thx allot & keep up ur amazing work.
@ Azeem50
The line of code for the movie title can be deleted if you dont want it.
Joey this theme is a work of pure genius !!!

Thankyou for the positive comment, but i humbly owe credit for the visual design to people like DJH and Team Blackbolt for their work on Xbmc interfaces.
Im just attempting to create a ‘similar look’ within the constraints of the Live Hub’s XML environment.
I do use images from those skins, but more often than not, end up having to resize,adjust,reposition,redesign etc.
Lot’s of time invested in thinking up ‘ways’ to achieve things.
I Wish WD would consider the option for a “Second Image” for a backdrop.
Then you would not need to create “moviesheets” with Thumbgen.
The other benefit would be… you dont have to be connected online for a backdrop to display.
Ive read the legal API and things, but i dont have my hub online 24/7.
And over 'Easter Break" the MovieDB went down for a day or two… (so no backdrops)
An Example Wish for WD to implement
MOVIES ------ Main Folder
folder.jpg -----Image for the Folder
The Dark Knight.mkv
The Dark Knight.xml
The Dark Knight.jpg
The Dark Knight_backdrop.jpg
This would also work with Music etc.
And even if users did not wish to supply a ‘backdrop’ image… then the Hub will still function as usual.
hi joey
how do you do to get the backdrop fixe i mean not being dynamic if you know what im saying unless it’s not possible ;x
hi joey

I think i know what you mean :) You dont want the backdrop to display the movie/music as you navigate through them ?
and you would like a ‘static’ background picture ?
if so, yep … easy just delete ‘one’ line of code from each view (when it’s released) and it wont display the movie/music backdrop.
it will display the default RV-BG.jpg (which can be changed, by applying a picture to background)
P.S. im trying very hard to have something to “upload”, but the ‘workload’ is getting more involved now with all the other ‘lttle things’.
Have been active tweaking and doing the other views…
No mate, I think he’s asking how you get a fixed backdrop behind your sheets.
yes exactly behind your sheets ;L

yep, confused now. currently in the mod…
Video List,Video Gallery,Music Browse,Music Playing,Video/Music Meta Info… the sheets ‘are’ the “backdrop”.
(they ‘Overlay’ “on top of” the default RV-BG.jpg)
it sounded like he wanted a ‘picture’ (eg. red curtains) as a backdrop and not the movie sheets.
It’s late… outta here
edit:
if you want a different backdrop for each view, i guess you could try this ?
