Hi, great mod, many thanks. I only have one problem, when in layout 4 when playing music the spinning cd is transparent but I can see the writing spinning.

Thanks! I don't use KODI to play music. I'll have to pass this on to someone else.

ok Thanks

<item id="104">

<label>31371</label>
<label2>31375</label2>
<property name="MainLabel">31396</property>
<property name="SubLabel">31397</property>

This code is part of Settings.xml, not SkinSettings.xml. Are you wanting to create another item on the Settings screen?

hi thanks for your reply what i would like to do is to create different categories on the main menu eg: kids etc allthough yes these can be done manually when you add a image and transfter the build to andoid the categories will show but not the image , so i was woundering if there was a way to add more categories to the main menu and still have the images by default so you dont have to manually keep putting in the images , when you install the skin it comes up with various categories and images i would like to add more so i can save the build and it would load up on my other device without doing it manually thanks

OK, I think I got it. Edit IncludesMainMenu.xml and find this code...

Code:

<item>
<label fallback="31014">$VAR[value_menu15.label]</label>
<icon>$INFO[Skin.String(menu15.bg)]</icon>
<property name="composition">$INFO[Skin.String(menu15.composition)]</property>
<property name="colorcomposition">$INFO[Skin.String(menu15.colorcomposition)]</property>
<property name="condition">$INFO[Skin.String(menu15.visible)]</property>
<property name="name">menu15</property>
<property name="id">$VAR[value_menu15.id]</property>
<property name="subid">$VAR[value_menu15.subid]</property>
<property name="widgets">$INFO[Skin.String(menu15.widgets)]</property>
<property name="target">$INFO[Skin.String(menu15.target)]</property>
<property name="path">$INFO[Skin.String(menu15.path)]</property>
<property name="action">$VAR[value_menu15.action]</property>
<onclick>Skin.SetString(windowbg,$VAR[value_menubg])</onclick>
<onclick condition="Window.IsVisible(Home)">$VAR[value_menu15.action]</onclick>
<onclick condition="Window.IsVisible(6000)">SetFocus(5000)</onclick>
<visible>![IsEmpty(Skin.String(menu15.master)) | SubString(Skin.String(menu15.visible),off)] | Window.IsVisible(6000)</visible>
</item>

If this is where you have created the KIDS menu item, replace

Code:

<icon>$INFO[Skin.String(menu15.bg)]</icon>

with

Code:

<icon>special://home/userdata/backgrounds/settings_skin.jpg</icon>

or whatever special image path you would like to use and see if that works for you.

settings xml

<setting id="menu15.bg" type="string">special://home/userdata/skin.aeonmq7.spin/pictures/Kids/</setting>

<icon>special://home/userdata/skin.aeonmq7.spin/pictures/Kids/</icon>

I don't think you can use a folder. You have to specify an image like my example...

<icon>special://home/userdata/backgrounds/settings_skin.jpg</icon>

i have posted in the old thread ,
Using latest krypton beta, none of the links in the OP will install from zip file, am on a mac, i have added a few dependencies to try and help like , skin helper , skin shortcuts , toolbox , but hasn't made any difference, i have MQ skin theme enabled .
OK realised I shouldn't be on krypton,
So i am on jarvis with a fresh MQ7 and the MQ theme installed , when i try all 3 zips.
Menu_bar
Multi_mod
Multi_mod spin.
none of them will install from zip file ?

Hi, these mods must be manually installed. You can't use the "Install from Zip File" option in KODI.

thanks sir , just done that and i have strange looking interstellar vessels shooting across my set up
going to watch the rest of your vid , my backgrounds are still the MQ7 defaults atm ?

[ontap]

could anyone shed any light on this issue , to try and get the menu bar to show , i have been adding the suggested coding to "MQ7 skin, settings.xml then saving it , but when i open kodi theres no menu bar and the reason is because when i reopen the setting.xml file the code hasn't saved ? repeated this numerous times but it appears to be saved until i open kodi then it disappears ?
Am using n iMac.
OK the code isn't disappearing it is just slotting in further down the list when i close the age, so my lack of menu bar and a black screen where items should be isn't down to this , i have language in " appearance - international " set as english US.

Haha...may the force be with you.

If you have installed the Aeon MQ Theme Addon installed, you should be able to choose any of the Holiday themes.

Are you adding the line...

Code:

<setting id="mymenubar" type="string">mq7menubar</setting>

to the file Kodi\userdata\addon_data\skin.aeonmq7\settings.xml?
