Hi Mad-Max

Maybe you can help here as well. The two black "boxes" with the list of movies and the covers in the Confluence Video/Movies View Option "Media Info 2" view are not transparent enough for my taste.

I would like to have the background image to be more visible . How can I achieve this ?

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Phyrros

Same commands as HERE

Thanks a lot - works like charm

Thanks! works like a charm, the transparency is also fixed with the last post! Any ideas on how to move the "items per page" and "duration" info from the downright corner on the music screen to the left?

(see pictures previous post)

Without checking it's an include called CommonCount (I think) change the pozx to move it.

When I get a chance I'll confirm the include name for you

Edit OK found it it's an include called "CommonPageCount" and in the includes.xml "line 251"

Awesome, thanks a lot! for those who want to change it he same way: xpos = 85

Thank you Max for taking the time to explain this. I really feel these transparency changes make the UI so much more attractive!

I am hoping someone can help with one last minor change and perhaps one larger (possibly impossible) change I would like to make.

1. I would like to make the Addons "dock" transparent. I have played around a bit based on the instructions for making the main menu transparent. The problem is I cannot find where to add the defuse tag. Any ideas anyone?



2. At the very least I would like to also make the icons transparent. Ideally, I would actually like to change these icons to custom icons I create (preferably gif).

Really appreciate any help with the above two items. Thanks guys.

1:
Search for floor.PNG...in that control add the diffuse tag...

2:
These icons are also listed in home.xml...IIRC it should be right above controll 9000

[Bradles73]

Thanks mad--max,

The "dock" transparency worked like a charm - perfect.

The icons, not so much. This is the last part I really want to get right - I would settle for any of the following:

1. If I can find where to change the icon.png - I would then simply make them slightly transparent.

2. Resize the icons - they are a little too big for my liking

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

P.S> I am a little vague as to what "right above control 9000" menas, I can find lots of iterations of "9000" - any more detail would be great. Thanks.

[Bradles73]

OK - after a lot of searching and playing I think I have this licked. All thanks go to mad-max, without his helpful forum posts, I would not have even known where to begin.

I found the direction to my second question here.

Bellow is the exact section that needs to be changed in order to customise the addon icons on the home screen (in Home.xml).

PHP Code:

        <control type="fixedlist" id="9002">
            <animation effect="slide" start="0,0" end="-91,0" time="0" condition="StringCompare(Container(9002).NumItems,2) | StringCompare(Container(9002).NumItems,4)">conditional</animation>
            <include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>190r</posy>
            <width>1280</width>

Try playing with different values to achieve what you are after. Basically I just wanted all of the icons smaller and less obtrusive.

Thanks again mad-max

Hi all

Can we please all assume that not all of us are programmers or know how to edit files?

I see so much info but I have no idea how to add or change anything. Do I need an XML editor, or can I use notepad?

Do I simply replace the PHP code matching in the home.xml with your suggested one, or do I have to find and then change each value as you have put it?

I also would like to make the menus as transparent as possible so that more of the fanart and thumbnail shows through. I am looking to do this within Advanced Launcher for my Games.

I would be so grateful for any help! Thank you.

Worked great! But, how can I do this to the Info line directly above the home menu? Skin is Hybrid Dev.

You should find a thread for the Hybird Dev skin and ask there rather than waking this zombie thread from over a year ago.
