My N00B Theme Preview (DeVicious Theme) [ Edited ]

[DeVicious]

Thank you Joey,

I didn't even think about the slide show settings, i always thought one day i would find code to turn it off completely.

Re: the local backdrops, I didn't know it was just found out that recently, i used it this way since i started experementing since many of the fanart images were low res i wanted to have control over it, until a week ago i had manually replace the links with the local path

Edit: for some reasons I don't have a "fade option" since I am using one sheet per media file i have chose "replace" and now it is brilliant :-) thanx so much for the advice!

I am starting to get more comfortable with things and made some major changes since the old style was kinda boring, this is the first mockup of the new look, it will be a little bit Sin City sytle which i think is a nice way to go for. The Movie Sheets remain the same for now, it looks like I have a working beta version for Video Gallery View on Sunday

please let me know what you think, criticism is welcome

sorry for the lame quality, it's shot with my iPhone and also compressed, the emulator won't work on Windows 7 (64 bit) I'll figure something out on the weekend

I LIKE IT !!!!!

Funny enough i did a little theming earlier today on my orginal extrememix 3.0 theme....

Nothing special i had to install a Hub for a friend so i decided to make compatible with the new firmware and new way of local moviesheets...

You can say that your theme kinda inspired me......

What i see so far is excellent keep up the great work

[TheCoolDude]

I like it too!  

Just brilliant!

[DeVicious]

OMG  

I really feel honored since it was your themes that got me into the whole process. Thank you so much :-)

The hardest part has begun for me now, the gallery video view is fine now, I like it, the problem is all the other views based on the xml files i grabbed myself, I don't really care for the other views since there are a lot better themes for that as mine, I supposed i could simpy deactivate the views I don't want.. is that correct?

Started digging into the whole music thing which I personally, having said that I don't like what WD is offering for music file and started doing my own page, i disregared nearly anything that was in the xml and launched my own idea through several include files, the first mp3 file would trigger a graphical sheet with a list of songs which I am trying to make a menu by using transparent buttons, the activate/mouse over track will have a red layer on top, it works but is completely inaccurate and on top of that i need to find a program to generate the sheets, lol cannot do it by manually.

Thanx Cool Dude to you too, i really appreciate it

please be aware that at this state the theme exclusively works for VIDEO GALLERY VIEW

everything else works too but looks awful.

I have changed the quick change icons, some of the dashboard symbols/category symbols, got rid of a few things I didn't like etc...

This theme works best if you use the category thumbnails, i have a whole bunch included plus a blank png file for your own categories I haven't thought of yet, please request a thumbnail in this thread I will deliver asap.

Moviesheets

I have included 3 templates for movie sheets

1) Movies

2) TV Shows

3) TV Show Thumbs

please have a look in the read me file in which order to process the TV shows to get a result with individual TV Show Thumbs. I created these thumbs on the weekend and have them running on my WDTV Live Hub and it is way more comfortable to browse even when the font will be bigger in the final version

This is how the TV Movie Sheets and Thumbnails look like

Congrats !!! really amazing work...

I look foward to seeing where you will take your theme.

PS see i also released my recent update (hope you like it)..... But i expect you to push your theme further than mine...

[DeVicious]

i didn't know you updated further than 3.0 i will most definately get it later this evening :-)

thank you :-)

[Tommyboy]

Thanks Devicious

Is it possible to upload a  sample folder with just a few movies( i find this the easiest way for noobs like myself to figure out how to do it )

 I get an error extracting , i get most of the files but see no thumbgen profiles or copy to instructions.

Hi DeVicious, not a major update on my part..... i just made it more compatible with the latest firmware....

Also i adapted my original moviesheet trick to use the local backdrops method.....However i prefer to have the moviesheet on top of the other icons instead of the background so i moved the code in the xml.....

Hope you like it..... Anyways back on track i think your work on your theme is really good....
