the only way to ditch the black box (which is firmware controlled) is to remove the focus…

example:  http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Hub-Themes/New-Mochi-Alaska-Icon-Menu/m-p/246346#M3762

all icons are transparent, but there is no focused icon.

102

I’m stumped. I’ve created the icons as in Joey’s post, and even gone so far as to cut/paste the Alaska theme code from rv_home.xml and the inc file referenced within. Best I can do is still get the black focused rectangle, but my icons doing a position animation. Think I am calling it quits this evening and starting anew tomorrow. Ugh. Frustration setting in. Probably missing someting completely stupid too. 

P.S. Great themes.

@Vuunderboy

You give up too easily … try this 

(all transparent icons, no focus, backdrop can be changed in the theme or via ‘photos’ set as background option)

Haha no you are just too good :smiley:

Excellent stuff. Just what I wanted again…thanks.

TW, is the font size used in CoCo small then those used in Darklight theme? If so, is it possible to use some font close to Darklight fonts? Its better to view on TV set…

106

@Vuunderboy

If you want to use a different backdrop, yet keep the animation then to make the focused icons here is what you do.

This is using Gimp.

Open the image that you want to use (needs to be 1280x720 and I suppose your are using it as RV-BG.jpg), select the retangle tool then go to postion 184 from the top and postion 460 from the left side of the image.  Then draw a rectangle that’s 360X536, then select copy (keyboard function Cntrl+C).

Now select “File/Create/Create from Clipboard”, this should give you a new image that is 360X536 which is the part of the image that you drew the rectangle around.

Then open one of the animaited icons, which have the “000” in the name (ie: Games_icon_000.png) then paste it on the 360X536 image and postion it to the very top (the entire image including the transparent portion).  Then save the image as the corresponding focused icon.

@locolopes,

Which fonts are you refering too?

107

Those used in Video Sinopsis, movie information (cast, crew, and so…).

In CoCo theme, there is possibility to keep the moviesheets generate by TG and in use with Darklight theme?

And where this file must be? I have all tgmd files…

Example

The Last Stand.jpg

The Last Stand.mp4

The Last Stand.mp4.tgmd

The Last Stand.srt

The Last Stand.xml

The Last Stand_cover.jpg

The Last Stand_sheet.jpg

108

Those fonts are generated on the moviesheet.  To change their size, you have to edit the sheet.

No.  Different theme, different sheets.

109

So…any possibility of further development/completion of this theme?

110

Yes, when I get some time.

111

ive managed to get this theme up and running, my only problem is its not showing a image in the tv screen in the movie sheet when displayed on my tv or in thumbgen, movie sheet info shows ok and coverbox shows ok, just no image in the tv screen , any ideas what ive done wrong, thx for help :slight_smile: possibly a thumbgen option ive got wrong?

edit: im running it on a wdtv live hub with latest firmware,

112

You have to select “F1” for the backdrop you want to use.  Or you have to set in TG Options to automatically generate Fanart.

Under the Moviesheets tab, deselect “Do not auto populate the moviesheet with fanarts by default”.

thanks tinwarble, i’ll give it a go. great theme by the way, big thanks for all your time and effort spent on these themes :slight_smile:

Edit: all sorted, thanks again for help…

114

Is there any hope for a completed version of this theme? Or is there one and I just missed it?

I still use it because it looks so good and works so well in conjunction with PlayOn…

115

Tinwarble… you singlehandedly (ok, maybe you had some help) changed the way we enjoy movies in our home thanks to your list view in this theme. Absolutely brilliant, I tried a lot of very good themes, but the list view in CoCo is what I’ve been wanting all along.

In addition, since we only use list view and will probably never use any other view there is no longer a need to have any other jpg,png, etc files amongst my movie files. So much neater and cleaner.

So thank you!

I just have one question, is there any way I can change the top banner myself so that it no longer leaves space for the temparature or says the word “temp”? My hub isn’t connected to the net, and I’d prefer not to have it empty. I can do some photoshopping, but need to know where and what to change.

I upgraded to latest firmware3.12.13 from the trust 2.07.17, so I’m really hoping I have no issues with anything else, but I do nothing other than watch movies on my hub.

hey all,

       can someone give me a quick guide to using GIMP to manipulate Folder sheets…i am no master of GIMP and just need to know how to layer the pictures into the view so they appear the same as TW folder shots.If i can get this the work i will work on season sheets to add to the folder sheets. thanks in advance

117

You need to use Thumbgen Designer (not GIMP) if you want to create / alter a template for Folder Sheets

118

hey all,

 Can someone tell me how to use the supplied .xcf (folder sheet) to create my own personalized folder and genre sheets.

 thanks in advance.

119

 

I think those are created by gimp. So you need to install gimp then I converted to PSP (because that’s what I use) and removed gimp.

 

BUT: I think this (Link Removed) is the file I converted to a .psd file and you are welcome to see if you can use it. When you open the link google drive will try to load it and just sit there. Just click the FILE menu and select DOWNLOAD at the bottom of the menu.
