not sure if this has been covered or not in this thread, but would it be possible to add a larger font size?

You sir are my new hero Laugh

Thanks for this!

**EDIT** - It doesn't seem to be fully working. I had to rename the folder to skin.metropolis.svn and that got it to load *some* of the graphics in the EPG, but nothing else. It is just using the default graphics for everything. I also tried changing the skin name in the skin.xml to Metropolis (SVN), but that didn't help. Any ideas?

**EDIT 2 ** - Actually did you build this for the original Metropolis and not the updated one being done by Stoli?

It was built using Stoli's latest git pulled to 'skin.metropolis' directory. I just DL the SVN version from the passion repo to check and all I had to do was rename the PseudoTV skin folder to 'skin.metropolis.svn' and all was working as it should. The only additional graphics used with the PseudoTV skin are the epg buttons and time bar all the rest are from the main skins media folder/.xbt.

Edit - Make sure the PseudoTV skin folder in not nested two folders deep, eg skin.metropolis\skin.metropolis\720p it should be..skin.metropolis\720p...just a guess Smile

I've done that before Wink

Got it sorted.....had to rename the xml files since I'm running Ubuntu and they're case sensitive. They should be script.pseudotv.EPG.xml and script.pseudotv.TVOverlay.xml
It looks great. Thanks!

Hello ...
Is the a way to have a "change user" menu entry (or somewhere else) , without having to activate the user selection at XBMC startup ....

Thanks for all :-)

Hi stoli, I had a go at skinning the next aired addon for Metropolis. If you or anyone else is interested/likes the look of it, I'll upload the files required. Feed back welcome. Wink

Cheers.

Next.. Skin the Global Search addon.. Smile

- supertom44 - 2012-01-21

Looks good, my only suggestion would be to swap the banner for the logo, due to the small size I think the logo would be clearer.

[WIP] Global Search addon..

- Msan - 2012-01-22

Hi Stoli, love the skin..

I would like to suggest 2 improvements though, to make it perfect in my eyes..

1. have to toggle in the skin settings that when you go to the video section, it defaults to the file view (or not)

2. on the media info screen add a place somewhere to display the actual name and location of the media file. (sometimes when I add new files it picks the wrong info and then it makes it easier to see which file it actually was.. now I have to change to confluence and then back again..)

Keep up the great work!
