Request: Movie View Mod - jmg967 - 2011-07-04 21:01 The Night skin is by far my favorite, but I am not very good at modding viewtypes and was hoping someone would be kind enough to create one. I have only found one skin that has something similar, and thats the new Cirrus one. But the way it is done is still not quite what I am looking for, and I prefer Night for everything else anyway. So, here is a paint mockup of what I am looking for. Basically the main movie poster would be fairly large, but the others would be very small, so that more fanart can be seen. I hope the diagram does it justice. Nothing too fancy, I would just like to be able to have a large movie poster, but also showcase the fanart. Thanks for any help! - xmurrx - 2011-07-05 01:50 I love that layout looks very nice. I think that would look excellent in night and goes with is theme well. I would help but I wouldn't even know where to start. Hope someone makes it though. - henrava - 2011-07-06 19:56 You can take the xml file from the skin cirrus extended, is named "BigPosterView.xml". - jmg967 - 2011-07-07 22:44 Thanks for the tip. I tried this, but I can't seem to get Night to recognize it as a view option. I added the name of the xml to the includes.xml list also, but I am not sure what to do beyond that when trying to add this type. Also, the Cirrus view, while similar, is not quite what I am looking for, as the posters in general are too big still. I bet with some tweaking and playing around I may be able to fix that on my own, but any insight into how to add this view would help. Thanks! - henrava - 2011-07-08 12:33 Also you need to include the new view in myvideonav.xml and look at the id of the view, it must be unique. Happy modding !
