Thanks

4 posts up, it's explained.

Update: This one was not my fault ronie forgot to pack the additional textures, the original git pull was fine. He issued an update (that's messed my version numbers up).

Ok thanks.

But, now, with the new version, there is no more overlay.png

The overlay.png in v3.44.42 is really to dark and i can't see home backgrounds (which aren't back).

So I have now 2 question :

1) where can I modify background fade on home screen
2) where to download previous version before 3.44 and is changes?

thanks

I've already submitted 3.44.22 which removes the debugging text. If you want it gone now you can edit addon.xml and set debugging="false". Sorry!

Or if ya want a bash one-liner:

Code:

sed -i addon.xml s/debugging=\"true\"/debugging=\"false\"/

Yep, that'll do it as well But the majority use Windows (including myself for developing.

It really is the natural progression of the skin and it makes sense that you'd use all the screen space you can. Plus it just simply looks really really good. I can see, once the dust has settled, having the original aspect ratios of the home screen being an option for those that are committed to black's original design. Nonetheless, thank you! Between this on one machine and mediabrowser edition on the other I couldn't ask for a better supported more pleasing set up.

I realy like your skin... Just I would like to contribute with some ideas:

- Is posible to eliminate Settings section in home categories (or create a options to disable it) ?¿ In my opinion is not a media content and I don't like to see it on the home menus. Preferably, these will be better separately, for example the side of "favorites" (see picture):

IMAGE REMOVED

- Create an "application widget" for example with games thumbs or games pictures of internet games news, ...

- Live TV section, for me the must used...
this is very good in my opinion:

IMAGE REMOVED

But inside Live TV section I don't like the current design, I prefer for example these views of im85288 MOD:

current design:

IMAGE REMOVED

im85288 changes:

IMAGE REMOVED

IMAGE REMOVED


Also, the current EPG looks nice...

Personaly, with these changes skin would be much better...

I agree with the settings being moved down and out of main screen. Also is it possible to loop through menu items?

Example: if I keep selecting right, when I get to the end, instead of reaching a "dead end", it would loop back to the beginning!

Thanks!

All these fanarts are nice but I prefer looking at covers(like in the previous version) Maybe it is possible to show 3 covers next to each other, so this won't break your layout.
Keep up the great work.

To be clear I meant since the last update that made the fixes to the missing overlays. I think the previous overlays looked better.

Thank you

Secondly, that is going to clutter the skin up, the home screen is purely for convenience - like any skin. Once you've entered the section you have multiple viewtypes to choose from.
