Here's a sneak peak at the new Vanilla theme 2.0


Here's a sneak peak of the new Chocolate Theme.

That looks a bit sexy!!

When can we expect it to be released?

The Vanilla 2.0 will be released in December, I'm not sure if Chocolate is going to be in the next release or not. But I really hope it will be. Both of them are very nice and Sexy

I have been testing them through the SVN and there both something you guys should start looking forward to!!

Indeed they are, i do hope they roll it out before the festivities begin. I'd love to show off my MC with that chocolate theme enabled. My current setup is becoming a bit 'old hat'

There is a new member at the MediaBrowser Forum that is creating new Icons to be used as initial folder start icons, and they look grate in use!

james971's icons : Go and check them out!
Here is another of my animated pix. (not animated in Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) Using one of these web-browsers... Firefox, Safari, Opera, or Wyzo... and the image will animate.

This is a pretty easy one to set up.

Step 1-A: open the Stark folder and find the StarkCovers.bat Then open it for editing.





Step 2-A: open the GUI and enter all of your info as if you were about to run it... but don't press run.



Step 3-A: Now that all of your info is in the GUI, everything you need for the batch is in the lower command window.



Step 4-A: Now that you have copied the info in the lower window, you will need to paste it into the StarkCovers.bat window that we first opened.



If you have your media in more that one location, as I do. Just repeat Steps 2, 3, & 4 until you have all of your locations in the batch file.
Once your done, Save the Batch file and close the editor.

==================================================================================================== =============================================

Now that the Batch is all set we need to set up Windows Task Scheduler.

Step 1-B: Open the Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler


or you can just type "Task Scheduler" in the Start Window search box and windows will find it for you.

Step 2-B:



Step 3-B: Add in your info.



Step 4-B:



Step 5-B: Set your start time etc.



Step 6-B:



Step 7-B: Browse to the batch file and save




Step 8-B: Final Step... and this is a hard one. Double check all your info is correct and SAVE!




That's about it. From now on stark will auto run and keep all of your files up to date.

Also FYI. There's a New StarkCovers out, that has new overlays and new music related functions.

Sup Demon, man it's been a while. I tried to rep you for your consistency with the MB project, but as always, you all repped out lol. Any way major props to you.

Why are some images ignored by stark? I noticed when I used certain profiles, the number count for the amount of movies I had in the folders differed.

Whats up Zay! Can you show me the image its skipping? I have never seen it skip anything.
