A dark skin - best compromise ...

Changelog v1.0.2.6.102:
-------------------------------
movie skin:
- "<linkcolor_memo>" changed [DDDDFF->FFCC00]
persons skin:
- "Comments" color changed [FFFFFF->00FF55]
- "<linkcolor_memo>" changed [DDDDFF->FFCC00]

The download file contains zero bytes, so all i get is nothing at best ;-)
One request i have though is, if you make changes to an existing skin, give it a suffix of "b", "c" or "d" etc. - because
it will not collide with my numbering of versions - since v1.0.2.6.102 is already in development here :-(
But I'm eager to see your improvements! So just name it i.e. v1.0.2.6.101b and reup it here - then i might merge it
with my latest changes ...

Sorry, I've adjusted.

Done. Applies for the names for my future added file.
Chris64:
BTW, Ivek, a question to fields in the XML file:
To me it looks like that each field variable can only be used once in a skin.
Only the last instance becomes visible in a skin. Is this correct (or really true)?
Chris64:
Okay, ... and i swore, I know ...
Learning slowly what's possible and what not.
Thus I made a new version (v1.0.2.6.101) available to let you
see my efforts. Be warned though - the layout of the skin has
changed to a more technical view.
Ivek, I have not merged your changes because they are not to my taste.
Let me explain why: my philosophy behind this work is to have some
"eye catchers" for the most relevant information I like to "see" at a glance
(and I know this depends from person to person). So light colors attract my
eye - that's why i.e. the title and (talking about the new skin v1.0.2.6.102)
duration of a movie, or the aggregated stream information got light colors.
"Green" i.e. stands for "done, achieved..." and "red" shows something missing
or a warning.
Simply put - your suggestions were "to light" (concerning the color changes)
for me and otherwise would blast my intention of "less is more".
Your "quantum of solace" might be, that it's all a matter of taste
when it comes to the question "better or not ..."
Anyway, feel free to create your own descendants of the skin, because it's free
software (even if only a XML file) and sharing is fun. Perhaps change the
name to not get in conflict with me ;-)
That said, we now have a
Changelog from v1.0.2.6.101:
--------------------------------------
movie skin:
- Smaller Rating Box (width) [190->135]
- Smaller Seen Box (width) [190-116]
=> Both changes will allow for 1152x864+ screen resolution without
any loss (full list width on Win XP) ... you might even get it
working at 1024x768 with a smaller list view ... ;-) [untested]
- Seen/Wish changed [bold->normal]
- Color changes for video/audio display
- Duration/File Size/Resolution placed directly under Poster window now
WARNING:
- Overall the skin is emphasizing more on the technical aspects of
your rip(s) from now on. So be warned before updating and make ...
yeah, backups!
I will attach a preview to let you make your decision easier ...

Proper thinking, Chris64, yes, it is true, as has already been mentioned.
