Another new MythTV theme...

Hey all--

I decided to put together a theme inspired by a TiVo screen shot I saw.
Not sure if it will be of any interest to you all, but I'm posting it up
on the themes gallery at:
http://www.jerfu.com/modules.php?name=My_eGallery

I haven't had time to send it to a real TV, so I don't know how it'll
react to NTSC/PAL gamma levels. I also don't totally know if the colors
will work well on a TV. Please let me know what you think.

I like this theme. It's "zesty".

I'll let you know what it looks like on my tv after I finish compiling...

Thanks for doing it.

Looks really cool, definately wake me up in the morning (Arrgh it's Bright!).

There is a minor issue though, MythGallery and MythWeather look strange because
they put stuff on top of the logo you have. (Oh and the EPG)

:D

It looks nice, but the yellow letters on the blue background look a little
fuzzy. Not sure what causes that.

My TV is not that great; it's a 13" one I bought pretty much just for
futzing around with TV out.

But nice work, I'm staying with this theme for now.

Hmm, the more themes people create, the more themes I really like.
It won't take long until we really need a "random-theme-sellector" on startup
;-).

so long
take care, have fun

RE: Another new MythTV theme... [In reply to]

Actually, Iulius is inspired by the TiVo screen too, just not to the same
degree.

You've done some really nice work, though. I was going to ask...on your
site, if I update the theme at all, can I update it on your site, or do I
have to resubmit it.

Later today I am going to take the themes off of my site (still getting a
few hits) and redirect them to Jerfu (if that's cool). No sense in having a
number of different locations to get the themes...

I'd almost rather have something I can host on mythtv.org <hint hint>. =)

RE: Another new MythTV theme... tutorial? [In reply to]

Is there a theme tutorial? I have a few designs, but they are in photoshop
still.

How do I get theme into a theme?

Thanks,

Yeah. It's funny, I'd never choose those colors...I just decided to
follow TiVos lead :) I could take the whole thing and zap some of the
luma out (bring the gamma down a few points). That would probably be the
best thing. I agree...it's pretty damn bright :)

I'm well ahead of ya. I expressed my interest for having multiple
backgrounds for a theme--that way, I can tell the EPG, gallery, setup, and
weather to use a plain BG (one without the 3D TV and black box).

Thanks for the comments.

I had a feeling it would do that. I think it has something to do with the
high luminance values. If I darkened the blue down it would probably
help. That and add a slight blur.

It's best to look at these things with two different TVs: a real nice one
and a real bad one. You need to make it look good on both.
Unfortuantely, I have had time to look at them on *any* TVs yet :(

Got to be honest...I don't know. I always do mine from an admin page :)
For all those that want to send themes my way, I need TWO things: the
themename.tar.gz file and a 320x240 jpg of the theme for the gallery.

Cool by me...that is, until Isaac decides how he want to add them to
mythtv.org. My site may be a temporary thing.

Well, I looked at the current themes on offer (blue, SasQuatch, iulius,
etc) and just started hacking. But that's something that probably should
make it into a tutorial. Perhaps when one of us has time ;)

My site uses a PHP module under PHP-Nuke, so I don't think we could
migrate it to a new site very easily. But I agree that it should be on
mythtv.org...I just don't know how to get it there. I could (maybe) find
a way to strip it out of php-nuke and make a stand-alone module (if you've
got php running on your server). Or maybe someone else has a nice
gallery-type module? Or maybe we could revamp the mythtv.org website and
make it a php-nuked site. I've got no problem turning over all my stuff
so that it can be hosted under mythtv.org so just let me know how I can
help you out.

I'm up for any (decent looking/working) redesign of the website that anyone
can come up with.. My only requirements are that it not be _too_ bandwidth
hungry, and it be easy for me to update/add content to. Couple people have
offered in the past to do a website reworking, but nothing's come of it.

Re: Another new MythTV theme... [In reply to]

I've heard good things about zope lately, in terms of building a good,
flexible website easily (http://www.zope.org/). I'm fixin' to start
looking at it more seriously. If you're interested in what I find out
I'll be happy to forward it along to you.
