That’s good to know. I have already resized my theme to be less than 30MB and uploaded for SMP users.
As for .theme extension, I was refering to how it is supposed to be uploaded to the theme website (according to the manual). Apparently though it uses a different standard for upload via the web UI.
Although, there really needs to be a better way to load themes on the SMP than having to flash it directly to it. It’s going to make it a little hard to develop themes for it when you can’t make changes on the fly like you can with the HUB.
And just so that anyone who wants to know, I’ll be updating Mojo with a few changes specifially for the SMP in the next few days. The next update will include the RSS for the main menu.
The only real previews that there are can be found HERE. Also, I’d have to disagree with the term “3rd Party”, since it sounds like we themers are writing our data, when it’s actually just altering how the orginal theme looks by changing the size, placement and number of the images and the text and replacing the original images with our own.
There are actually 4 themes, at least for the HUB, that can be downloaded from the online data base. To get these press “Setup” on your remote, the select “Appearance”, then select “User Interface Themes”. If nothing appears press the red button on your remote and you should see “Online Database” at the top of the screen.
I just discovered that there are more themes on the WDTV SMP than we thought. Go to Setup and select Appearance, then User Interface Themes. Only the Mochi (Default) will show (unless you uploaded the neat Mojo…).
The trick is to now press the red button on your remote. 6 more themes will be shown.
Oops, I didn’t see the post just above saying the same thing.
Trickle is the effect of having thumbnails stacked from larger to smaller, in effect having look as though they “trickle” outward. Trickle was a term coined by moviesheet developers, but I can’t tell you who first used it, to describe this effect.
Answer 2.
Yes, many of them do. However, SMP users are limited because themes for the HUB (which is what most are designed for) have not been updated to be used with the SMP. These themes will work, but you will lose some functions.
Whether they will be updated for the SMP would be up to the developer of that theme. So I am unable to tell you if they will or not, with the exception of mine.
It is also unknown if anyone will upload their themes to the WD theme site either, mine will not however due to it is too complex for a straight download. I would also say that many of the other themes will not either because most of them require you to use Thumbgen in some from or another and are also too complex to just be downloaded without an explaination of how they need to be used.
As for the Anodized theme, this was developed by PsychoTHC and he has not updated his theme in a long time, so I would not count on it being updated, at least not any time soon.
Hi guys my files is now called mojo.zip , i copied everything except the root folder and repacked it mojo.zip . i deleted a few files now it under 30 mb … I am trying now for hours it still saying please wait . Any suggestions please.
If you download the new updated file you shouldn’t have to do anything to it because it’s already packaged for the SMP. It’s also been modified to be less than 30MB, so you don’t worry about deleting anything to make it small enough.
ok last question i promise , after this i think i will just use regular theme .(at this since sunday)sighhh
So download the file again …It went directly to my download folder …I went to web interface choose browse select file ( i didn’t change or delete anything ) . Now i am still getting please wait message for last 20 minutes .
