I'm talking about the DVD/Blu-ray/TV etc cases that appear around the egde of your poster.jpg's.... How exactly do they work - I was looking for a folder that contained all of them, but couldn't find anything.

I'd like to play around with changing colours and that sort of thing, how do I go about finding and editing them? And potentially replacing them with others - using a different .jpg/png? Thanks in advance.

all artwork used in the skin is compiled into the Textures.xbt file (in skin.transparency/media)
you can checkout Transparency! from the svn repository to get the individual images: https://code.google.com/p/transparency-xbmc/

I see. So how would one go about say editing one of the individual images, then re-compiling Textures.xbt so it uses that new file?

[ronie]

1) get Transparency! from the svn repo
2) modify any images you want inside the media directory
3) use the instruction in the wiki to compile a new textures file:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=TexturePacker
4) put your textures file in the media dir of the current version of the skin you're using.

Thanks a lot. And let me say I absolutely love this skin.

[gooner_47]

It worked!

Before:



After:



The new Textures.xbt is only 30,000KB though, compared to the original 70,000KB... is something wrong there or could it just be a newer TexturePacker compressing things better?

[gooner_47]

Balls. Thought something might have been amiss. I've lost the radio buttons in settings:



Oops.

[gooner_47]

Damn, thought I'd figured it out then, but no....

The tool I used to check-out Transparency! initially threw errors, it looks like it didn't get all the files. The size of the media folder from that tool is only 43.5MB - 1824 files.

Trying again using TortoiseSVN, I get the full media folder of 7388 files.

Re-compiled again and got a more sensible filesize of 70,818KB. But even with that Textures.xbt file in place, I have no radio buttons. I tried deleting Textures13.db (and then tried deleting all the databases) thinking it may have cached the old (lack of) radio button images, but still no luck.

rename radiobutton-off.png to radiobutton-nofocus.png
rename radiobutton-on.png to radiobutton-focus.png
and recompile the textures file.

names of these images have recently changed (in gotham), but since you're using frodo you still need the old ones.

[gooner_47]

That got it, thanks a lot.
