The left but it's color is desaturated and it needs to be sharpened. It should look like the one I posted earlier:

Sorry for abandoning this over the holidays, I will start finishing the templates. Here is where I left off [sketchy].....




They look okay, but look terrible cached in xbmc. I've tried creating a advancesettings.xml, but still no change. I have a felling my .xml is wrong. Maybe someone could have a look at it and help me out. http://www.mediafire.com/?bnymv3amnzn
hopefully it's not because it is a .png file

I really like them but I don't know enough about the xmls to help you

@Dr.Stranger

This is what I got using the Watchman.png you just posted and my coded version. I like it, maybe the unfocus Bluray words seemed squished but all bluray pics I have used seem liked this.




I have no advancesettings.xml setups....

I think the First order of business is to make the templates shorter. 1000x1500 is definitely to long, and so the logo is squished

Here is my Blu-Ray case with plastic film to not the greatest looking but i like it.



How it looks think its ok.

coded version that alos works on unbuntu:

PHP Code:

<control type="image">

                    <posy>123</posy>
                    <width>162</width>

                </control> 


@line 157

                    </animation>
                    <visible>!Container.Content(Genres)</visible>

Getting there guys, it's looking good.

[jakks]

Here is my new template in action, what do you guys think?





Old Template



New Template



This was just to give you a quick sample of how it looks with XBMC even though im in the Alaska section of the forum

[craigd]

looks awsome jakks

[Smenus]

Argh, too many awesome templates in this thread!

@jakks, will yours just be the Blu-Ray one, or will there be others (DVD, HDTV etc)?

[DuMbGuM]

looks nice man good work. I'd take off the shine effect from the top of the box or just make it more transparent, it looks great though !

@jakks, will yours just be the Blu-Ray one, or will there be others (DVD, HDTV etc)?

I plan on using the 3 templates (blu ray/hd dvd/hdtv) posted by DuMbGuM a few pages back

looks nice man good work. I'd take off the shine effect from the top of the box or just make it more transparent, it looks great though !

I was torn between not adding that effect in the first place, I think i'll get rid of it

EDIT - Since Ive been getting a few PM about this, I just want to make clear that my templates are for Stark Covers, I havent looked into coding yet

Cheers


Here we go with the final editions

Blu-Ray

HD DVD



Template

HDTV



Template

These are to be used with Stark Covers

Enable "Dont Use Glossy Overlay" "Dont Round Corners"

[caboosification]

i think it looks nice with the glossy overlay, adds depth to the image

[Evanrich]

jakks yours look good, but i prefer dr.strangers version, as the cover has the rounded edges of the cover, looks more realistic, whereas yours look like an image just posted over a background.


Dr. Stranger....good work so far, keep it up!
