Modded Confluence V2 is a great base to start with

If you're looking at adding features, what would be appreciated by me is a larger font to be able to select (assuming there isn't one already, I will install later and have a look).

I am using the pi on a small crt and the text is just too small on confluence. I followed some out of date instructions to edit the font.xml and it was (just) OK, but got overwritten when upgrading.

Thanks

+ for a larger font. Especially on old televisions the current font is a bitch to read.

Great i love feedback..

and great idea.. i haven't even though about support for SD-screens.
I think big fonts may even look better too
I was planning to move around stuff on the homescreen anyway, when i do i will make sure i leave enough room for some huge fonts.

the homescreen is my main focus t first, after that the movie selection screens etc will be up.



Expect a update this week!

[MARA]

Git repo updated, skin is now smaller, and faster!

changed:
* you can now select color themes to use (default = orange)
* textures are now compressed and loaded from a single big .xbt file
* install dir changed.

It's in the SuperRepo now, which got a nice installer . Get started at http://www.superrepo.org/get-started/add-the-super-repo-directory-as-source/ and never bother about other repos again

XRG had another run (wil run daily in a short while). The generated addonpage for it:
skin.moddedconfluence2.maramod at SuperRepo


If you include an screenshot as fanart.jpg in the package, the page will look like:
plugin.video.NHLVideo at SuperRepo

I tried to install your skin from a zip file which I had downloaded from your github but I got error "Incorrect Add-on Structure". Then I tried to install from a zip file which I had downloaded from SuperRepo (I had downloaded only zip file of your skin from SuperRepo web site) and I got error "Installation failed".

What am I doing wrong here?

[BartOtten]

Can you provide the XBMC log? See the forum announcement for instructions.

When I am home I will investigate too.

[dejc]

Sorry for late answer and sorry because I don't have the XBMC log. I was playing with my setup of openelec and I have corrupted the SD card. When I have reinstalled the openelec I was able to install your skin without an error.

Here's some info on a larger font:

With some limited testing it works well.
