Would it be possible for smartlist, if it is main menu option, to see "lately added movies" only from this smartlist?

[User 34959]

Next version will have that for movie and tv show/episode playlists.

Is there a way to enable last.fm?

[User 34959]

There's this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=154230

If i decide to support it i have no way to test radio since i don't live in a country where it's working. I'm interested in getting scrobbling to work though.

Edit: nevermind, the scrobbling still works using builtin XBMC code. If you need radio and playlists you need a paid subscription and Ronie's add-on, and a skin that supports the addon.

Thanks for this info. I will look into it further.

1.0.3

- New main menu colour, backgrounds and few other graphical changes. All borrowed from other skins, credits to the original authors.
- Widgets for custom main menu items (recent/recommended items from smart playlists)
- Option to not show submenus, widget selector and add-ons automatically. Press up and down to show them.
- Option to use passive scrollbars. Scrollbars are visible only when focused.
- Minor OSD changes
- New addon requirement, script.randomandlastitems

I still haven't figured out why it won't automatically update the skin from my repo, so you need to do a "check for updates" on the repo.

Is there an easy way to revert to the original background as in the default confluence skin?
Thanks

Edit: If not is it possible to download the last (pre-changes) version as a zip file? I've got used to the default style and changing the backgrounds changes the whole look and feel for me. Plus my wife's complaining!

Is it possible to increase the opacity of the Settings dialogs? With the relatively bright silver cog wheel now behind each dialog, the current transparency level of the dialogs means it is more difficult to read the grey text (particularly when the background is silver).

Personally I'd be happy with 100% opacity for dialogs - could this be an option (Skin Settings -> General -> Settings Dialog Opacity 100% [true/false]). The opacity of other non-Settings dialogs however, is just fine (since there is less text to clash with the backgrounds, which tend to be darker anyway).

Backgrounds are very nice.
Hovewer recent and recommended do nothing.

Thanks for the push for the updates on graphics, liking it a lot. Was wondering if you could provide some direction on how to manually change the code for the music screen to size the images to fit - I am using a bunch of images that are not fanart dimensions so it is blowing them up well past the size of the screen. Please see how this was addressed in the Transparency skin:

Hoping it will be as easy a change here.

Sorry, one other item, hope you can make this happen - I use OpenELEC and with the base Confluence skin there's a submenu under System for OpenELEC system settings. Is there any way this skin can be smart enough to keep it in as an option if the system is OpenELEC?

Please let me know if you need me to do any testing on this.

Copy the default blue bubble background called SKINDEFAULT.jpg from vanilla Confluence and set it as a custom background for every media type.

Backgrounds are very nice.

Where? Movies, tv, music, music videos, smart playlists in main menu? Check that the update installed script.randomandlastitems.

Open IncludesBackgroundBuilding.xml and change the aspect ratio setting to "keep"

PHP Code:

<control type="multiimage">
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>1280</width>
            <height>720</height>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <imagepath fallback="special://skin/backgrounds/music.jpg" background="true">$INFO[Skin.String(HomeMusicBG)]</imagepath>
            <timeperimage>7000</timeperimage>
            <randomize>true</randomize>
            <fadetime>600</fadetime>
            <visible>[Container.Content(musicvideos) | SubString(Container.FolderPath,library://video/musicvideos,left) | SubString(Container.FolderPath,videodb://3/,left)]</visible>
        </control>

I'll look into it and add it to the next version if it's easy to add.

From one day to another i have lost weather on main menu. Even if i disable and enable it in settings it does not show,

I changed the weather widget to show only weather menu items is focused.

[Marx1]

It was smart list as main menu option.
Should it also show last added movies graphic when chosen?

[User 34959]

The way it works is if you

a) put a movie, tv show or episode type playlist to the main menu and
b) have "show recommended and recently added unwatched content" on (skin settings)

It will list 10 newest items from that playlist (recently added) and 10 items that you have started watching but haven't finished (recommended).

It will not show any widgets for music playlists or music videos.

I did test if with different types of playlists and couldn't find any problems. That doesn't mean there would be none, so let me know if you find any.

Also, try to avoid huge playlists in the main menu, the bigger they are the longer it will take to populate the widget contents.
