Awesome Smile Hopefully you will be able to add the arrows in the future when your PC is back up & running.

Im sorry to say that this something that I did not like about Hybrid. I felt it made for a cluttered look, whereas CCM is very clean. I hope that this be a toggle for those that dont prefer it, if you decide to go ahead with it.

Can you give an example of how this would look? More like Hybrid?

Although probably it wont affect me too much as I mainly use List and Media Info 3 views for speed of navigation on lower powered devices (I find most Thumb or Banner views seem to result in crashes with large Movie or TV Libraries).

PS: Working on an updated summary now.


RE: Confluence Customizable Mod - whufclee - 2013-07-24

Yes you can but it remembers the actual physical location and doesn't use special://

This is fine unless you want to copy setttings over to another machine so for example if I browse to the userdata/whufclee_art directory it will actually save the path as:
C:\Users\Lee\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\whufclee_art...

What I needed was:
special://profile/whufclee_art...

Hope that makes sense. By the way I'm loving this build, I really can't fault it at all.

Good point - Not much I can do to help though

Fair enough, I actually prefer simpler views with not too much info like the Coverflow view, also I prefer all views to have a theme eg all in panels, name across the top etc.

But to really be honest my machine stays on plain old list - it's the fastest.

What it'll come down to is - if people like what's there it'll probably stay. If someone suggests a change & no one pops up to object it may change if I've got no issues with it. You can't get unfairer than that Big Grin

(2013-07-21, 13:52)jmh2002 Wrote: There seems to be a bit of an odd problem in the Skin settings between SubMenus and HomeMenus.

Eg: After Changing the User Selection 1 SubMenu Friendly Name to 'More', I then try to add it to the relevant HomeMenu. Adding works, but after being selected the Friendly Name shows as 'User Selection 1' again in the HomeMenu settings.

Eg: After Changing the Movie SubMenu Friendly Name to 'Test', I then try to add it to the relevant HomeMenu. Adding works, but after being selected the Friendly Name shows as 'Movie' again in the HomeMenu settings.

Just been testing this one & yep there is an issue - On my system if I change the "user friendly name" of movies submenu set to "test" and then select it from the home menu section, the choice of "test" will come up but it stays as "movies".

Will have to do a bit of digging

@ Mudislander, I think there might be a couple of things on that list that are already done and released in a previous version but which I havent noticed because I dont use those functions.

Can you make a quick note please and Ill edit the Summary Smile

I just re-read and made more sense of this. I checked again, and in fact maybe the extra Dialogs that I was thinking of were being generated directly by a particular AddOn.

I have deleted this from the Summary Smile


RE: Confluence Customizable Mod - Stigmata1823 - 2013-07-24

how do i add this skin to my raspberry pi? i have the zip file just dont know where to install it to get the skin?

Quote:Re 2nd request would a toggle on Fanart view to switch between the thumbs presently shown & logos be OK, or ClearArt which would everyone prefer ?

Yes that will work, but I think a new view will work much better. For movies, the current Fanart view is good; I want Logos or ClearArt only for TV Shows. So, I'm not sure, but a toggle option on Fanart view will affect both, movies and shows?!

Thank you Blush I can't code but I can make lists (and on occasion come up with an idea or two)

At this moment sometimes I have some extra time, so it's my little bit of penance in exchange for using this awesome Skin. (@Mudislander: correct me if I am wrong, but you don't have a donation link?)

The real thanks should go to Mudislander for his great Skin, and his attention and responsiveness to the needs of the users Nod

You lot are making me blush!! No there's no need for donations, I do this for fun. If you guys really feel the need to give away money - the XBMC team are always thirsty for more beer.

You can add QA testing to your list of things you can do Wink

Can do it so it is only an option for TVShows & movies will stay as is. Only after fooling around with this Mod I find that I prefer not to have too many different views but to have options in individual views on how they should look.

BTW I think my vote is for ClearArt, haven't started this yet so other opinions will be considered.

Is that a vote for Titles on top of the view ?

You'll have to put the file in a place you can reach from Get Addons --> install from zip. Select it from there & it'll install the repo files


RE: Confluence Customizable Mod - sampras - 2013-07-25

hi, loving the skin but after the latest update with the on screen volume buttons, if I choose to hide them because I use passthrough audio it's no longer possible to go right to subtitles buttons etc over where the volume would have been, has anyone found this?
thanks


RE: Confluence Customizable Mod - jmh2002 - 2013-07-25

yes, its a known bug, and its on the list at the top of this page Smile

EDIT: and as a temporary work around you can arrow left and wrap around to the subtitle buttons (or, just keep the volume buttons enabled until the next update)
