Also great timing. Tonight I was planning on photoshopping a grid and putting includes everywhere. So you just saved me a lot of time.

I'll get on it soon.

Updated to include PVR windows and dialogs.

Just installed the latest Gotham beta and cloned the confluence folder, made a few alteratiosn and switched to the cloned confluence skin so i can start learning more / playing with a new idea i have lol.

Anyways I followed the instructions but have an issues and am still to green to see whats staring me in the face to figure it out Sad

- Place Custom_Overlay.xml in your skin's XML folder (ie 720p, 1080i, etc)
- Place the relevant debuggrid PNG in the skin's root folder and change the Custom_Overlay.xml debug grid controls if neccessary
- Place the keymap.xml in your /userdata/keymaps folder (or add the actions to your current one)

My keymap.xml looks like this

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<keymap>

    <global>

        <keyboard>

                       <F5>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</F5>

                       <F6>Skin.ToggleSetting(DebugGrid)</F6>

                       <F7>Skin.ToggleSetting(HideDebugInfo)</F7>

                       <F8>Notification(Testing 123,Hello world)</F8>

        </keyboard>

    </global>

</keymap>

The Reload, Grid, and Notification work as expected but the DebugInfo wont display i have no red and blue writing showing up.

What am i missing?

Change

Code:
<F7>Skin.ToggleSetting(HideDebugInfo)</F7>

to

Code:
<F7>Skin.ToggleSetting(DebugInfo)</F7>

Sorry, updated the download.

Wow was something simple.

One day I'll get there and figure things like this out on my own. Well maybe lol

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I just built Kodi from master, and this custom_overlay.xml file is completely blocking the UI (apparently catching the keypress somehow), and generates a segfault when exiting.

Is there a more recent version of the debuggrid overlay available?

Thx, we´re investigating atm, a fix should follow in near future.

EDIT: see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/7515

Hi,
I confirm xhaggi's commit is solving the issue with custom_overlay.xml, it is working as usual now.

noxx2 · 2015-11-07, 10:42

Issue was download site mediafile not downloading on phone correctly.

Anyway to get this to work on jarvis now? It helps a lot with graphic design for skinning and helps with location placement. Really would love to know how to get this working or a work around that works with all windows.

Rjsachse · 2016-01-30, 00:37

So no one uses this anymore that can help?
