PatrickBateman Wrote:Sam, I get this problem too, however I think it's due to the list being generated or pulled down as you enter the list... For example this only happens to me when I enter the recently added section immediately after highlighting movies... If I wait 2 or 3 seconds then go in, all is ok.?

I think it's just pulling a lot of info and needs a second or 2.. At least on my weak little revo, giving it 1 or 2 seconds before entering resolves the issue.

I'm sure butch can do sonething though

@butch..

Yea tv shows window needs to go back to all windows being the same, in that case, can't you place the top level window in the same location as the series and episode window... Or move the codec flags else where and push the series and episode window in line with top level... It's a very ugly and jerky and inconsistent change, very unlike you to to do something so out of character

Default wallpaper... Hmm,, what can I do to fix this then? Currently I have my own movies wallpaper set, however it's ignored when I highlight a movie in recently added? It displays torn? Confusing... When I go into movies, films with no fanart show MY wallpaper? Can the black screen not be added as an option or a default setting? I hate looking at a movie with no fanart nd seeing torn?

The same is happening for music... But worse, as with music with no fanart, it is flashing up my custom wallpaper, then quickly adding to some girl with headphones? Why? This is very distracting and looks awful? I'm confused why this was forced as it is not a nice change. When I select a song in featured songs with no fanart, it will change from previous fanart of artist, to my default wallpaper and quicky to a girl with headphones when I hover over a artist with no fan art?? Very distracting...

Horizontal lines, cool if it's mention to be like that, but the lines are not equal? The shadow looks bigger on the top line than on the bottom one as is distracting, even my other half noticed it and she is usually blind as a bat

Also, I've noticed a cirrus ex wallpaper flash ip on occasion in the fanart window? But I've no idea how/where/when I saw it and what I was doing...

Amazing work overall though, the speed is a huge improvment, but the asthetics are a tad worse imo... Im going to drop back to 2.0.5 for the moment as I think it looks neater overall.

Looking forward to 2.07 for Eden though, I think that will be my next big upgrade and hopefully I'll have my AVR sorted by then

Fingers crossed..

Again, keep up the amazing work and so grateful for everything you do! You are an absolute legend bro x

open home.xml and change following:

Line 68:

from this

PHP Code:

<texture background="true" fallback="special://skin/backgrounds/movies.jpg">$INFO[Container(8000).ListItem.Property(Fanart)]</texture> 


to this:

PHP Code:

<texture background="true">$INFO[Container(8000).ListItem.Property(Fanart)]</texture> 


it's only for movies, but we can change it for music and tvshows aswell:

about the rest i'll take a look and make some corrections

cheers

butchabay Wrote:Hi,
So maybe i can improve the logo view with more infos, but i don't think i'll port the simplicity view, as cirrus should keep his own style. I'll see what i can do and post some screenshots. Don't expect it in near future, as i want first finish up my working list.
The additional menu is a great idea indeed, maybe one day this could be an option in cirrus extended ...
The TV Guide won't be anymore in the next update, as tv show next aired has his own style now, i'm going to change the textures for cirrus extended v2.

Just joking, of course. I appreciate everything you have done and are doing and it is the best skin work out there by far.

Maybe it is time for me to start learning how to mod these skins my self. Before I used to actually do real work like that. Maybe I can learn again...

butchabay Wrote:Indeed, it looks awesome, i'll put it as default image for movies with an option in settings to set as background if no fanart is there, when this setting is disabled you'll see the custom backgrounds set on home. Is that a deal pat?
Nice work Julien, as usual !

What are these files for?
addons.xml
addons_xml_generator.py
icon.png

I used svn to download the skin and these files also got downloaded. When i used the export function to export the skin to the addons folder, the skin was not showing. Later i cut and pasted the skin.cirrus.extended.v2 folder into the addons folder, it showed . I deleted the folder containing the above files and it worked.

butchabay Wrote:Nice work so far Just noticed that the horizontal menu bar has no upper white line, could you take a look ?

Something else is the naming of musicfanart should be music, weather, pictures without fanart.
