@Dooker:

To start with theming … for me the download of this documentation and thread

http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Hub-Themes/WDTVLiveHub-ThemeDefinition-v1-0-Here/td-p/373315

was very helpful.

As far as I know you can touch and modify every XML . But it is very helpful to know before working which one(s) to take.

@Joey:

… 20 hours without electricity - oh dear. 

To say with the words of AC/DC’s " NO voltage … in big Australia" . But probablity more children in 9months :laughing:

@Steffen_2009

I barely survived … had a little help

1 x Car

1 x Cheap $50 100w Invertor plugged in Car’s Cigaretter Lighter

1 x Raspberry Pi (Raspbian OS)

1 x ADSL Modem

1 x 15inch LCD Monitor

1 x Portable DVD with USB playback

Internet access and Entertainment for about 7-8 hours … :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, be really careful with xmls like this …  inc_ ****** _menu_node.xml

no probs :smiley:

worked on this during the week …

1. “List View” with “Linksheets” tidied up black overlay diffusion layer (too much gradient banding)  and thumbnail frame (which had gradient banding as well) …

2. Overlay of new “Options Dialog” design (needs to be moved ‘up’ by about 5 pixels … which will take an hour or more )

3. Info Screen “Overlays” all of it, but also has a “Linksheet” Underlayed through the info diffusion layer … which matches exactly to the “List View” Linksheet.

It’s tricky stuff  :wink:  … takes ages to get “right”  (took about 2 days … but still needs little tweaks and adjustments)

Don’t even ask about the Home Menu … i’m having nightmares about that :smileyvery-happy:

Thanks Plesk90 :smiley:

Discovered today, how to have a different  “Thumbnail Background Frame” in “Info View”  :smiley:

So, it’s a different background focused frame for Music and Movies.

I don’t think the code or graphics was there in older firmware… anyways works sweet on 3.05.10 :smiley:

Yes, i do not want to sound like a dbag either but i ask myself the same question because you know YOUR THEME IS BEWTIFOOL.

33

if you didn’t want to sound like a dbag why did you spell “BEAUTIFUL”  … BEWTIFOOL ?

sounds more like a gibe to me.

For this theme does TG pull in the meta data and hard codes it into the image or do we still need xml’s or the inbuilt media library turned on?  I only because in one of your screen shots your have “view info, delete info” etc. and those options are usually seen in the My Media Library function built into the WDTV SMP

hi Joey, any news?
