Hi on holiday so playing around with confluence skin. learning how the skinning work. i try to do small changes like hardcode an image to a addonitem

<item>
<label>copied a url from favourite and it works great</label>
<onclick>RunAddon($INFO[Skin.String(HomeVideosButton3)])</onclick>
<icon>HOW CAN I HARDCODE ICON ?</icon>
<thumb>-</thumb>
<visible>(removd the "!" and it now appear at al time. great)</visible>
</item>



any help is appreciated.

thank you.


Idea is to hardcode all my custom features to skin and take backup of 720p. i dont like estuary skin, and confluence will not get any updates, so i might as well start skinning myself

Confluence is getting updated regularly.

i still like to know how to do this, do you know ?

If you put it in the media folder then just its name and extension.

that does not work

i added: tube.png to addons/skin.confluence/media/

and in the xml file i typed: tube.png


no luck

If u did another said then u add the thumb nail but u will not see it in less you can see thumbnails for all other menu items.

If you just trying to add a image the read the skinning manaul and add a image control.

i dont understand your message,

but i found a work around

just create fake plugins and enable them and only hardcode the url in xml. that did the trick. it is much more complicated approach but it works.
