Re: Black Mamba Theme (New Update V1.2 - March 30th 2012)


Hi Devicious!

- Could you display movie title in others movies view? Like the two lines display! :smileyhappy:

 

No i won't, i have explained why about 30 times already but I'll say it one more time.

This theme is created for people who create cover art and movie sheets, once you have that it is completely redundant and messes with the design. In fact I will remove the text from the video browse page in the next update (the one with 2 rows of thumbnails) because it looks like an elephant walked all over it.

Yes but in a more elobrate way as it used to be, this will be in V1.3 next week.

And i will try to explain the bug i have in "folder classic" view (on music and movie) with you screen:

 When i am on the red rectangle and i press the "up" button, i will go on an invisible item, instead of the previous page.



hence the arrow keys on top, they go left and right

you navigate up an down for the visible items once your reached the last item you go to left or right for the next page.

If you go up you jump from media control to theme control such as content source, view change... this is not a bug this is wll intented, just needs getting used to

btw for fufture references this views isn't called "classic folder view" it is called "list view" :smileyhappy:

Ok, if you remove its good too... seeing filename is bad :smileywink: In fact, i have covers in english (i preffer) but i don't know all the title in english, that's why i asked for title :smileyvery-happy:)

Agree with that... but when i jump on media control that way, the focus is nowhere... its don't go on the yellow/Red/etc button witch are on the right of the screen... maybe it's a problem with SMP only?

In the "option" you can choose .nfo or .xml ... follow the instructions of Devicious, they are in the archive! :smileywink:

you can map a drive to a UNC path and it will then appear in Thumbgen.

Re: Black Mamba Theme

alright, got it all going smooth so far, thanks all for the help, got most of it by reading, just some small oversites. This is really nice, like it better than factory setup. I havent done TV episodes yet, but do they put a leading 0 (zero) on the episodes? Thanks all

It shows 1h .... because it is out of space to show the entire line.

A friend from New Zealand told me that font sizes are the same standard on your side of the planet so I am assuming you have enlarged your fonts in windows and it is taking effect in thumbgen.

I just go ahead and assume you have WIndows 7 (if so) go to...

Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display

i believe the font is set to "medium" while "standard" is the norm.

If not i will find another solution but that is probably it.

You my freind are a bloody champion!!!

 

The only pain in the **bleep** is that i like my font in medium setting  and changing it to small just now hus shrunk all my desktop icons and moved them all to one area of the screen :smileysad:

 

But anyway i know how to solve it now.  I just dont think i can do that everytime i want to run thumbgen or i will spend as much time re organising my desktop as i do setting up my movies :smileysad:

 

Many thanks again for the help Dev - yeah not bad for a blondie !!! :smileytongue:

 

I have to get to bed  its 2:15am  i sleep almost as little as you do 

 

Ive uploaded the 1.2 version but im too tired to go and see how it looks.  Will report back in about 7 hours !!

 

Good night


In DeVicious's folder "ThumbGen Template & Instructions\Black Mamba Templates\Mobie Sheet - Black Mamba by DeVicious", open" template.xml" file find the element reffering to "Runtime" and change font size.

I am in Australia and Devicious's original font size is 40 and it works OK for me, I change the font size to 20 just to see if I was in the right section in the xml file and on the next  movie I ran through ThumbGen the Hours & Miutes time fonts were smaller. So right fIle.

Cheers

 

Edit.

Do NOT edit the xml file in the Black Mamba Theme, edit it in ThumbGen as we have already copied the template.xml there.
