You made many changes on this one. I would liked to have an account to reward you, but I dont Icon_sad

. I started using your theme from your first mod and so far is my favorite theme, is what I think.

The Xbox guide is funny in this one Icon_smile

I liked how you organized Emulators, XBLA, etc in Games menu (nice idea).

Some things:
-Metro flow at the button of the screen where the bottons are have a black bg, I think is sweeter transperent than a black bg.
-Game options in move pattern have some issues and some times when moving on patterns instead of move on patterns I move on my games.
-All of the main menu ex: Profile shows a side part of the patterns on left and right of the others menus but when you are in apps or setting are not visible.(I dont know how to explain you because my english f@#k) (This is not a bug just to have all menus with the same visual).
-I think is better to have plugins and the spam thing with colors patterns (same visual as others tabs menu).

Note: I want to put the BG of the game in Metro flow and Gamewall (Banner no because is how I want the others Icon_smile

), can you explain me how can I do it, maybe I can edit the theme...Maybe not because Im a noob Icon_sad

idefix23 · 02-24-2012 08:05 PM

Hey...to answer some of your questions...:

Game-Options is something i cant change. You cant select those patterns because you are not supposed to move the game in those sections...Maybe i can find a nicer solution, but i think there isnt much playground on it...

I also recognized this right after releasing v2.1 Icon_wink

It will be changed in the next version.

If you (and others) are really so desperate to have a game-picture as Bkg in MetroFlow i will add an alternative xui/xur in the next version...
Also i really like the black-Bkg for the Buttons and i dont think i will change that Icon_wink

At the moment i am thinking about changing/reworking the Avatar/profile scene to make it feel more like original...we will see whats happening next Icon_wink

Again Thanks for all your help, i'm always waiting for your "analysing" replys ^^

Hmm. by mistake I move a game from xbox360 to xbla..But I meant in my previous reply about the graphic issues (attached pic) and the issue when moving on Right-Left Up-Down

Great Icon_smile

So please in the alternative xui/xur erase the black bkg and leave the black-bkg in default xui/xur

Thanks mate!!!

kostasishere · 02-26-2012 03:05 AM

Idefix you did great job in this version!!!
Can i ask you if it's ok to post a edited version of your skin and freakazoid, of course i will not change any credits.
A second question is if you can tell me how can i put the classic nxe - game icon visual in game list style option, i search almost every file from the theme but i cant locate what i need to change.
Thanks in advance and great job again!!!

ERMaCDR · 02-27-2012 12:44 AM

-Cahnge controller button visuals in saved games to original style.
-Change delete game menu to original style.

1st: Ive sent you a pm Icon_wink

2nd: Regarding your wish of having classic NXE-Cover-Flow...
Theres a xur-file in the root of the extracted xzp-file which is called "gamelist_icon_org.xur".
You need to rename it to "gamelist_icon.xur" and overwrite the existing one. After that repack it to a xzp-file and you should be able to enable it via the "game-wall" option in fsd.

Options-Tabs: will change that if possible

Game-Menu. I dont have such a problem...maybe its your hdd which is "too slow".
Controller-Button: Stinky little piece of sh... Icon_wink

i will change it
delete-game-menu: I dont know where and how to change that, i guess some stuff is harcoded in fsd? I'm sure there are guys around in this forum that know whats up with that? (DeakPhreak, Chee5y???)
Missing Icons: This will take a lot of work that i dont have atm, sorry but this will have to wait.

I think a new version will be up at the end of this week, so stay tuned Icon_smile

About game menu I dont know why is too slow in yours, because I used nxhl or default fsd theme and dont have such issues. Im going to take a look on this with older versions of your theme.

Ohh yeah some stuff are maybe hardcoded in FSD..
DeakPhreak, Chee5y or jsjar if you guys read this please help idefix23 on this one.

Deak Phreak · 02-28-2012 10:26 AM

I have only been able to pop in to the forums on here once or twice a week due to us trying to get http://SpiffyConnect.com up and running. I have also been switching hosts trying to find a good one and we are currently testing that site on a new host and once we decide to stay there, all our other spiffy network sites will slowly be moved over to the new host including this one... there are lots of things I have to do to make sure the sites stay active so sadly, I will not be able to help with many user issues.
