Hi Lipo,

sorry I have only just got back to this. My eldest daughter decided to fall off of a scooter and managed to break both her wrists, so I have not had a lot of time to follow this up. She is fine now, but life was a bit hectic for a while there.

This one is a little bit harder, pretty sure that this was completely changed between the two versions (skin moved from PAL coding to being coded for 720p for one) so dropping one file from old version onto new version will not work. Basically you would need to change <visible> tags in the

PHP Code:

<include name="background"> 


section of includes.xml. I will take a look and see if I can't pinpoint the correct visible condition for you (probably the one for the Movies part of the library would be the one to change, but not sure.

Quote:2.i want program from home menu always opened source named "apps",so which file & line from i need to change ?

You need to change the following section in the file Includes_VertHome.xml (sorry can't say exactly which line number as I have been working on this file lately and it would have move a bit)

PHP Code:

                <item>
                    <icon>icon-programs.png</icon>
                    <thumb>icon-programs-blur1.png</thumb>
                    <label>31029</label>
                    <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyPrograms,,return)</onclick>
                    <visible>Skin.HasSetting(home-programs)</visible>
                </item> 


Change the onclick line to read

PHP Code:

<onclick>ActivateWindow(MyPrograms,apps,return)</onclick> 


Check the wiki for the correct format of ActivateWindow if that does not work, but that should be pretty close

Quote:3.i still not satisfied with background color on 1.12. i compared xtv saf 1.11 & 1.12, 1.11 is more easy on the eye

The colour of the background mask is set in the themes blah.xml file in the color subdirectory of the skin. So if you are using the default theme you would need to change default.xml in the above mentioned subdirectory. The line you need to change will look like this

PHP Code:

<color name="mask-background">A8FFFFFF</color> 


I'm not sure exactly what the value was for 1.1.1, but this value was either C8FFFFFF or 90FFFFFF. Change the value to either of these should give you what you want. The reason I changed that was that the AppleTV seemed to be too bright (the first two digits change the Alpha channel) so I made things a bit darker. If you really want to get funky, you can change the other digits and get a coloured mask (have a play)

Quote:4. if i want to change icon for games (or other menu) on home menu, whst should i do ?

thanks wyrm

Again in the Includes_VertHome.xml file look for the entries

PHP Code:

    <item>
         <icon>icon-programs.png</icon>
         <thumb>icon-programs-blur1.png</thumb>
         <label>15016</label>
         <onclick>ActivateWindow(Programs,Games,return)</onclick>
         <visible>Skin.HasSetting(home-games)</visible>
     </item> 


change the <icon> and <thumb> tags to point to your required icons files. As always backup the listed files before you start messing with them or you might find you mess things up and can't get back into the skin.

Hope this helps

Unbeknown to Apple there are going to be many thousands of users that upgrade and get kicked out of the Frontrow cinema.

It took me 2 days to get everything setup but had some lockout issues with TV files where the folder

new to offer back to media center enthusiasts and noobs.

Quote:Question 1
If you move to the movies folder I have used Files view here but want to get rid of the defaultHardDiskBig.png
cause it really says xbox to me and the whole idea of this skin is apple, not that I want their logo there either.
I did not notice this at first but my daughter did and its about appealing to the futures is it not?

The https://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xboxmediacenter/xbmcTV/media/ folder is that what your
using in the current skin.xtv-saf.svn 1.2.2.699 built in the textures.xbt ?

Quote:

Some additional questions as a NOOB XBMC user please:

2. Is there an App Video store? and whats good? I am in Australia
Why is there not an appstore for xbmc, the work you do at $1 x 87852 downloads = your split would be around $58,000 if this was Apple software

Quote:3. I cannot get iTunes to work although switching back to another skin it showed an import library function
I cannot get iPhoto to work keeps coming back with corrupt database

With questions 3 I have resorted using Advanced launcher and expect to have a work around as Apple keep changing these products
and unless the code is updated $$ better to just control the app from XBMC.

Lipo, that's good, thought that one would be simple.

Quote:i also managed to change icon for games & game saves

You don't need to add the files to the .xpr file you can just store them somewhere on you XBox (even in the skins media subdirectory if you like). If you store the individual files in the media subdirectory you will not even need to change the name/location string that you changed in the skin.

Quote:now im trying to change the icon & text on far right to games, which file i must edited ?
[You will need to add a couple of new <label> sections to the top of the programs.xml. Then you need to add a <visible> tag each of the <label> sections that will only show the correct label depending on what part of the 'programs' file system you are in. As to what those <visible> tags might have to be, I have no idea. There is nothing like this in the main XBMC that I know of, so again you need to ask over at xbmc4xbox.org.uk to find out what other people use there

But thinking about it, there is one question I would like to ask. What version of XBMC are you using on your RPi, is it Eden or one of the Frodo builds? Here I am currently using a AppleTV gen2 with the official Eden release and a Win7 box also with the official Eden release. I have tried to run the Win7 box with a couple of different Frodo monthly builds and found the skin was unusable. I think it is probably the result of how I did the update, but it would be good to know if others are having issues with the skin.

Quote:Actually i noticed recently some strange navigation logic. When I open "video" from home screen with directional buttons and OK on my remote i go to sources list screen entitled Video (i have there local SD card of RPi and my manually added source with my video). When i press Back on my remote i go back to home screen. If i use remote button mapped as Video from the same home screen i go to the same sources list. But pressing Back get me not to the home screen but to the another screen entitled Video with submenues Movies, TV shows, Recently addded ... and so on.

you know the e-mail address, drop me a line when you have had a play. I'm thinking of grabbing a Pivos Xios to play with, so your experience may be useful.

Quote:I think overall you will enjoy the skin on the Raspberry more that the Xbox, although in some ways the Xbox form of the skin is better than what is currently available in the main repo.

Quote:Biggest lack with the skin in the main repo at this stage is the way custom home menu items are handled, but I am currently working on this, so should be good for release version of 1.2.2.

Quote:Biggest plus for the repo version is that it has the horizontal home menu that the Xbox lacks.The SAF of the horizontal home menu is not quite as high as the vertical menu, but you can display a lot more info on screen (its a lot more compact on screen).

Quote:Lastly, If you want the stable form of the skin, just take a look in the skin section of the default repo, otherwise you will need to install the Passion repo (see first post of this thread) if you want the development version.

Quote:Not anything in particular. Lipo has done a lot of work with me providing feedback on changes and spotting bugs (oh man has he spotted bugs). I'm always happy to see feedback/bug reports, as I see the skin so much that I don't notice improvements/bugs that could be fixed in the skin.
