I meant how can I edit the default confluence skin, (or actually the vertical one) to show fan-art instead of icon?

gamblor had the same question...see here:

Hey Mad-max.. First of all very nice skin.. I hope you can help me, i've been thinking about it for a while now, is there any way of adding volumen control in the home screen and in the left view options menu? I find myself often only using a mouse to control xbmc and i cant find a way to turn up/down the volume?

Hi,
I just switched to your skin since I needed a custom Playlist Homebutton.

I assigned the first custom Home button to my Playlist and all works fine. Just one question. Atm its in the following order

<Custom Button>; Videos; Movies; TV Shows

Is there any way to change that order? Would like it to be: Videos; Movies; <Custom Button>; TV Shows.


Another thing I just noticed: On the home screen where the day/date/clock is located - there is awefull lot of space to the right and no weather info as I was used to :/
Any way to change that too?


Thanks

Is there any way to change that order? Would like it to be: Videos; Movies; <Custom Button>; TV Shows.

Just swap the items in the Home.xml...
Look for

Code:

                    <item id="15">
                        <description>Custom Playlist 1</description>
                        <label>$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom1_Label)]</label>
                        <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/videos.jpg</icon>
                        <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom1_Folder)]</thumb>
                        <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(10025,$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom1_Path)],return)</onclick>
                        <visible>Skin.HasSetting(Menu_Custom1)</visible>
                    </item>

And cut&paste it behind

Code:

                    <item id="10">
                        <label>20342</label>
                        <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles,return)</onclick>
                        <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/movies.jpg</icon>
                        <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Home_Custom_Back_Movies_Folder)]</thumb>
                        <visible>Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoMoviesButton) + Library.HasContent(Movies)</visible>
                    </item>

i think he means here top right

what would i have to change in order to reduce his gap? bottom left

just couple of things

would be possible for you to make the poster wrap loop like this... or tell me how to (im no coder/skinner but i will have a go)



would it be possible to add poster wrap to "file views" and not just "library views" please

could you maybe also add 5 more home menu custom favourites shortcuts please and then i think this skin will be the dog nuts!

many thanks for what you have done with this skin

Hi!

I used the artwork downloader and clearart.png is now in every tv show folder. But they're not showing in the skin when i pause or push info.

Do i have to enable it somewhere?

[Bagheera]

i think he means here top right

yeah, thats what I meant, thx
No "dealbreaker" but would be great if that gap would be smaller

Finally figured out how to stop the paused overlay to stop showing when you're browsing for subtitles!
In 720p/DialogSeekbar.xml on line 3 add

Code:

Window.IsActive(script-XBMC-Subtitles-main.xml)

Making it look like:

Code:

<visible>[Player.Seeking | Player.DisplayAfterSeek | Player.Paused | Player.Forwarding | Player.Rewinding] + ![Window.IsVisible(VideoOSD) | Window.IsVisible(MusicOSD) | Window.IsActive(script-XBMC-Subtitles-main.xml)]</visible>

hey mad max proper liking this skin now iv played about with it a bit!
just couple things...
when in music library if you select artist you can have wallview but when you select album you cant.
what would i have to delete and from where in order to remove the recently added music but keep movies and tv shows.
iv just noticed that someone else asked you to include some more home menu favourates shortcuts and your not keen due to performance which i understand but could you tell me how to do it please as i need another 4 lol
is anyone else having problems with "currently watching" for tv shows not dislaying anything other then 2 empty boxes
iv got notepad++ installed to mess with code so anything i can change just tell me the name of the xml and what line from and to

many thanks again for this rocking skin

I changed clearart support to logo two versions ago...
Can you use logo or shall I make an option to choose either clearart or logo?

Finally figured out how to stop the paused overlay to stop showing when you're browsing for subtitles!

Thanks man...will be included in the next update. So your changes won't be overwritten

when in music library if you select artist you can have wallview but when you select album you cant.

Open ViewMusicWallstream and change line 24 to

Code:

<visible>Container.Content(Artists) | Container.Content(Albums)</visible>

and you're done...hopefully

what would i have to delete and from where in order to remove the recently added music but keep movies and tv shows.

See IncludesRecentlyAdded.xml ---> delete the whole group starting at line
910 (9000.HasFocus3)

iv just noticed that someone else asked you to include some more home menu favourates shortcuts and your not keen due to performance which i understand but could you tell me how to do it please as i need another 4 lol

See a few answers above

is anyone else having problems with "currently watching" for tv shows not dislaying anything other then 2 empty boxes
