To stretch the whole page up again you must multiply is by 1.3333333, but since that is a 1 with unlimited 3's it's easier to divide the width by 3 and than multiply it by 4: (width/3)*4=widescreen-size -makes- (720/3)*4=960

I must say that what i typed above is only what i think of it. To be totally sure i must test it with the actual program

Well,

I sent dCiSo a message to ask him if it's true that Wii Miidia scales the images from 4x3 to 16x9 or if it's just a mistake in the skin! If it's right that wii miidia scales the skin I need your ICQ/MSN to talk to you somehow to test the feature when I build it in!

I really hope it doesn't scale the skin, because it probably wouldn't look that great on a big-screen tv. It wouldn't be such a hassle to create two templates, only a few images would have to be changed, it would mostly be different positioning.

Here's what I've been working on btw:

@ifletcher: I'd really like to try making my a skin myself, but I'm running linux and the windows version won't work quite as well. Are you still planning on releasing a linux port?

ifletcher · 08-01-2008, 05:53 PM

nice to see you working on skins!

Well, I just talked to dCiSo! Good News, there's no scaling, you build a 4:3 and 16:9 skin seperate! The Sample skin is 4:3 even if it says 16:9!

So there's no scaling and a feature which Ferrie asked for is actually not very useful because the scaling is just not needed cause there's no scaling in wii miidia too!

Yes I am, just need a inux here, but in principal you can compile it yourself using lazarus, but i'll make a real linux port in near future, i try to get a working port with release 2! No promising, but i'll try it!

No scaling, damn now i must redo my skin :P

Ah well, it's nice to see so much dedicated people on this forum. And thanxz to the work of ifletcher the Wii Miidia skinning community is already beginning to develop. With a Viiew website on the way and Wii Miidia around the corner this IS going to be the XMBC of Wii.

Also: nice skin caPo! I expecially like the first one.

So is this DVD concept official or is it just a theory or what? Oh and gr8 skins by da way can't w8 for relase of miidia

chriswillb · 08-02-2008, 03:05 PM

Thought this skin would match what caPo is making

Not too sure on how to make it work on miidia when it is released

Nice WIPs here

forums will be online soon and then you can talk about your WIPs and get feedback, please don't use this thread to post your wips!

Well, here is it....

Viiew - Wii Miidia Skinning

THX again to dCiSo who provides me with the webspace etc - without him, this wouldn't be possible... This will be the base of operations (at least for viiew atm, maybe for Wii Miidia later too?

), like someone above said!

Forums are open for registrations, the style is actually the default design but i'll make the colors the same as the rest of the page later, as you may see, I always included the navigation bar in the top of the page which is actually very cool cause you can always jump to every page! If you have problems, just write something! So let's move with our WIPs and so on to the viiew forums, I hope many people will follow and we'll be a nice community for wii miidia, viiew and wii miidia skins!
