Hi Viggo,
I'm the barbieri_* author. It was designed to show other most unused Freevo possibilities. It used to be prettier, but now it's very ugly. I don't have much graphical skills, but I know how the skin work (I wrote many pieces of that code), so if you have any question, just ask. Also, if you have graphical skills and want to develop a new freevo skin, I could help you.
I'm sorry to say I have close-to-none graphical skills. I mainly wrote it because of the mailreader. Since I had to understand what the h*ll to do getting the info stuff to work, I made a new one with the combined features I liked the most.
Did I mention I'm colorblind, well... say no more :P
About your skin, I think it's tooo dark. Maybe another fgcolor for fonts?
Agreed, but I am very impatient with these things, and black&white is easy. If you have some decent colors for it, I can update it.
On a sidenote - one of the things nagging me while I was doing the skin, and the detachbar, was the lacking possibility to skin stuff like the idlebar, detachbar and popups. Not that I know how to fix this, but I think the gui could benefit greatly from this. Ex. I tried to add a gradient bitmap under the idlebar to customize it somewhat, but when trying different resolutions and overscans it got all messed up.
I've got an error with your mail plugin:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/plugin.py", line 570, in __load_plugin__ exec('import %s' % module) File "<string>", line 1, in ?

USASCII = Charset('us-ascii') File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Charset.py", line 220, in __init__ input_charset = _ascii_lower() TypeError: _ascii_lower() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
I'll send a fix to it later.
Bye,
Gustavo
I use python2.2.x currently, and it's probably related to this. I'm still very much a beginner in python, and there's bound to be lots of problems and flaws related to the plugin. When I have some more sparetime I'll try to redesign it so that errorhandling and connectionhandling is done properly. As it is now, I would regard these matters as quick'n'hack.
