I've found an animation of the background from here: https://softworkz.github.io/hlstestfiles/wmcbg/background_animation.html

It's HTML but I find it to be useful in helping you finish the theme.

For the icons you can try these: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal2/WMC it may not be the greatest quality but it should work.

Those icons look great. I'll see how they work in the skin. Thanks!

ps : i copy all update xml files to replace old and it works! thank

Sorry about that. I think the zip file should be updated now. I forgot to push that update to the zip file but it should be all good now.

My main focus has been on getting the library browsing working for most areas and the display when playing TV/Movies/PVR. I don't listen to music through Kodi but I'll work on getting that updated next.

im glad to hear that Smile

and a request : would you add a counter of total movies (tv shows) in library?

I had that working at one point but took it out. I will add it back in in the next release but if you want to put it in place right now, you can open /xml/MyVideoNav.xml and change the visible to true on line 59.

xml:
        <control type="group">

            <depth>DepthFooter</depth>

            <include>CommonPageCount</include>

            <include>CommonNowPlaying</include>

            <visible>true</visible>

        </control>

RE: The Green Button (Alpha) - loveart - 2023-11-23

I have a new request, would you add an option to browse movie by country, beside genre and year ?

the skin is look more like wmc than before. but i found a bug, if i navigated to radio, the skin stuck and i can not control kodi anymore.

I didn't zip things up correctly. Should be fixed now for anyone else.

I thought I took out Radio but I guess it is still there. I'll look to get that taken out some time today. It doesn't show up for me because I don't have any radio channels so I never saw the bug.

I am currently working on being able to edit the menu to be able to add whatever you want but I think that will take me a while. I could probably add a quick toggle of visibility in the short term.

https://github.com/Doctor-Eggs/skin.theGreenButton/raw/main/skin.theGreenButton.zip

Version 19.0.4
- Updated home menu icons
- Moved Radio to Music home menu item
- Added Visibility change to home menu

You'll need to go into Skin Settings in order to show/hide the home menu items. Also, I recommend keeping Weather on the home menu as the first menu item has a special height for the sub menu.

RE: The Green Button (Alpha) - ontap - 2023-12-05

Could you add "favourites" as a main menu option please ?

RE: The Green Button (Alpha) - Doctor Eggs - 2023-12-07

Version 19.0.5
- Add Favorites to the home menu
- Update the display for when favorites is clicked

You'll need to go into skin settings to enable it.

https://github.com/Doctor-Eggs/skin.theGreenButton/raw/main/skin.theGreenButton.zip

I'm still working on what it looks like when you click on "All Favorites" but it's a start.

Let me know what you think.

thanks for your update. would you could change power action from show power menu to quit action ?
nevermind, i seach google and found out how to change to quit action instead of power menu by edit a few codes in home.xml

RE: The Green Button (Alpha) - loveart - 2023-12-09

The weather is empty at the moment. Would you build it for the next or maybe later version of this skin ?

RE: The Green Button (Alpha) - loveart - 2023-12-10

i found out that in font.xml have Segoe-UI-Regular.ttf but in font folder this font does not exist.
hope you fix soon.
thanks

RE: The Green Button (Alpha) - Doctor Eggs - 2023-12-15

19.0.6
- Update Favorites to the home menu
- Add Weather to home menu
- Update the View Weather on the home menu to go to Weather
- Fix fonts

https://github.com/Doctor-Eggs/skin.theGreenButton/raw/main/skin.theGreenButton.zip

I'm still working on what it looks like when you go into the weather screen, but I put the Current weather with a 5-day forecast on the Home menu.
