See http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Forum_rules/Banned_add-ons There are no options in my mod for the line under focused main menu items. You would need to switch to one of the other mods or the original if that is a requirement. Although my mod might look much like the original, a lot of code has changed. There's no easy way for a beginning skinner to change it back.

See http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Forum_rules/Banned_add-ons [/quote] WOW, I did not know that, I know talking about what may or may not being going on the skins might be a little sketchy to talk about, but the skin itself, I had no idea. I guess it is a real fine line. I can say that this is strictly for my own personal use, no intention of putting it out there for anyone else., just want it to look nice, in the way that I envision it in my mind aesthetics wise that is. So it's kind of like fight club huh, you can have the files here and talk about what is or isn't on there, but not about installing it, or how to make it look different? Ok, so I glanced over the rules, and see by my mentioning a community thing is where I went wrong. it will never happen again. my apologies to anyone out there reading this. RE: Please save me days of reading. - Zildjian85 - 2016-03-31 Do you or anyone know if I can delete the shadow16b.png and the bg.jpg on the original if it will make the menu bar transparent like it will on your mod? If so it would accomplish what I want to do in making the menu bar transparent or as close it as I can get, and give me the underscore. That is really all I wanted the opacity changer to begin with for. Thanks all of you for your help, and my apologies for any rule that I may have broken, I was trying to be careful about not talking about the other things, I had no idea talking about a completed skin of someones was not allowed. I was just using it for comparison purposes in aesthetics. RE: Please save me days of reading. - pusb87 - 2016-03-31 @Zildjian85....just curious...do you play the drums ?

The wife bought me a real nice set of Bongos for Xmas this year as a way to nudge me back into it, but I'm stage 3 COPD so I get winded easily so sitting behind my 23 piece is just too much.

See http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Forum_rules/Banned_add-ons Yes, "Builds" are a programmatic term usually used in the context of executable files (elf, exe, etc.) Each of the variations of the Arctic Zephyr you see here are considered "Modifications" or "Mods" and are derivatives of the original work which was done by Jurialmonkey. An analogy to this would be pretty much exactly how Linux works: there are many "distributions" out there, each with their own tweaks and changes, but they are all still Linux in the end. Here, well, here we just like to call them "modifications" or "MOD" as you see in the thread titles. Now you may have been confused with the "Build" declaration used as "versioning management" within the AZ:FA thread. Anyone who examines the code that pulls that up on that particular screen will see it's actually just a text string that is typed in at the point the "commit" is made to GitHub. The reason that exists is that there are so many ways to get the skin, the string text is intentionally changed when a new working branch is created on GitHub which makes sure people don't download the working development branch (it's happened). Likewise, you'll see that the code pulls the Kodi variable for the version (i.e. 3.0.04) and the tree is simply the Kodi variable with a textual string added to the end of it on that page. Likewise, Braz and I'm sure Jurialmonkey do their own versioning; it just might not be available on an accessible page. It helps when you need to track down where a bug occurred. However, when you go to get it, it's just 3.0.04 for example. No builds, no anything other than the proper addon version. RE: Please save me days of reading. - Zildjian85 - 2016-04-02 Guardian, Thanks for explaining that. Good Analogy. Just did not know there were different versions at the time. Got it all working. I took the original because of the underscore highlight, deleted the texture/image files for the Main Menu bar, and now I have the best of both worlds. |
