A very cool "function" indeed.

Something you might be able to help me with...

There's still a light background left in Aksala but I can't find where I'm suppose to change it.
It appears on the "Settings >> Appearance >> Skin selection" screen.

That's the white.png used all the place to mask the underlying window.

The only place I can find a "white.png" other than "<texture border="1">White.png</texture>" is there ...

PHP Code:

    <include name="BackgroundVis">
        <control type="group">
            <visible>Player.HasMedia</visible>
            <control type="image">
                <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
                <texture>white.png</texture>
            </control>
            <control type="visualisation">
                <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
                <include>Animation_CommonFade</include>
                <visible>Player.HasAudio</visible>
            </control>
            <control type="videowindow">
                <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
                <include>Animation_CommonFade</include>
                <visible>Player.HasVideo</visible>
            </control>
            <control type="image">
                <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
                <texture>special://skin/extras/filters/filter_2.png</texture>
                <animation effect="fade" end="94" condition="true">Conditional</animation>
            </control>
        </control>
    </include> 


I made a dark_grey.png, and replaced "white.png" in the code but the background stays light grey (#d1d1d1 in Photoshop).
I've found a "grey.png" in the "media" folder but it is darker than the background and seems to only be used to generate borders.

[Hitcher]

Thanks for finding the one white texture without a border tag.

And yes they're all the same the border was used to stop problems when small textures get XBTed up.

[ddlooping]

You're welcome.

Now how do I change the light grey background?

Just noticed what you're doing and the best way to make a theme is to edit the textures used and not change any of the code otherwise it can exist as a mod.

Which light grey background?

To help yourself turn on Alaska's Debugging mode so it displays the actual XML you're on.

Alaska is a gorgeous skin... but I am also anxious to see how the "dark version" turns out. It would be nice if the original skin had 2 variations from "Hitcher" himself. I know this would be more work but it would be nice for the light/dark versions to both have the same features and functionality!

Thanks, I'll keep both in mind.

So much easier....

"DialogSelect.xml" didn't have a texture.

It should be right at the top.

PHP Code:

<window id="2000">
    <defaultcontrol always="true">3</defaultcontrol>
    <controls>
        <include>Animation_ZoomOutZoomIn</include>
        <control type="image">
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>1280</width>
            <height>720</height>
            <texture border="1">white.png</texture>
            <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="80" condition="true">Conditional</animation>
        </control> 


[akuiraz]

I am also very interested in this skin, if you could PM me this skin when I would love to try it out.

Would definitely like to see this included as a theme with Hitcher's Alaska Revisted skin...

It is indeed.

[ddlooping]

Hitcher, would you mind tell me where I can change the number of items in a list?

I'm trying to create a new Poster view (wraplist), and have made the posters smaller so I can fit more, but I can't get more than 6 to appear (exc. focused).

[Hitcher]

That's set by the width of the main view control.

ie

PHP Code:

<control type="wraplist" id="57">
    <viewtype label="31282">list</viewtype>
    <onleft>57</onleft>
    <onright>57</onright>
    <posx>-20</posx>
    <posy>95</posy>
    <height>515</height>
    <width>1316</width> <!-- THIS ONE -->
    <onup>7000</onup>
    <ondown>60</ondown>
    <orientation>horizontal</orientation>
    <focusposition>3</focusposition>
    <scrolltime>200</scrolltime>
    <preloaditems>2</preloaditems>
    <pagecontrol>60</pagecontrol>
