When she was not sleeping or working did she "have your best interest" at heart or perhaps this is why you "used" to live with her!!!

You briefly met my stepdaughter Matt She's moved out recently...that's all !! methinks you watch too many romantic comedies !!

I dont need a chef, no one can ever beat my mum's authentic Turkish cuisine... no one !

Tonight is the night , As I said in my last post I set my upload to LiveFolders and when I got home there was an error so I tryed it agian still no luck so Im going to send it back to MediaFire and see how I go. Im also in proces of setting up a Private Server for my themes and new tools im working on slowly so this will solve a few problems I have been having. Im not working night shift tonight so I have just opend a beer and just about to get uploading

Hi all Could someone with the revision (not the original but the revision Posted on the first page) please upload it somewhere for me as I have just delete my only copy of it and the Update revision and cant retrive it from my PC or My upload (Bloody MediaFire) Rep for whoever uploads it for me as it will be quicker if it is uploladed than starting again

For anyone able to use a DLL editor like Resource Tuner just insert and overide with the attached backgrounds There where a few more little things tweaked but this was the major thing once I have got the revision back I will be good to upload again Sorry for the delay Im just a F'wit that did not do a backup

Sounds like someone had too many beers!!!


HEHEHE


Good work though; if i had a copy i would help you out but hoping someone else can as im looking forward to giving this a go.

In the end, there will always be beer

What a really nice theme - put it on my box last night - looks awesome on my 37" LG LCD with piano black facia.

As requested - uploaded the file ...

http://www.freedrive.com/files/77fve6lh1400/ehres.rar

I 'rar'd it, cause it freedrive kept falling over if I didn't. I'll keep trying to upload the unzipped file and edit the post with the link.

Thanks JN for the effort you put into creating this nice theme.

Craig.

EDIT: Here is the non-zipped version.

Ok I have just Updated the front page and I have fixed and cleaned up the theme but the blue screen that pops up after you stop or finish a movie still is there on some machines I have tested this on 3 machines now and the edited background works on my MCE but not on the other's so I would like to see if any one else's MCE can see the edited grey/black screen instead of the blue screen. Please Post your results here if you try it out

The below pics of the screen im talking about


Thanks to CraigG for the upload your an absolute champion

I would also like to get some ideas for a New theme so dont be afraid to post some ideas

Cheers Josh


Note: This Updated Theme is basicly exactly the same as the previous version except for the above screen and just compressing images so If you like it the way it is you might as well stay on the one you are now.

You could try basing a VMC theme on the XBMC Vision theme, it kinda rocks.

Please Post your results here if you try it out

Tested on Vista Home Premium - I get the blue screens when pressing stop or a movie finishes.

Craig, likewise...

Hey Josh, if you can give me a heads-up maybe I can assist in the development work ...

[jsbbs]

I know this is an old thread, but I've lost my copy of the ehres.dll file.

Can someone provide a link?

TIA
