Background image on home - the_alien - 2010-02-04
Hi
Is it possible to have a background image just on the homescreen?
On every theme I've seen the image overlays the fanart in the background.
Thanks
alien

in the file include.xml add the following lines:
Code:
<!-- Home BACKGROUND -->
<include name="Home_Background">
<control type="multiimage" id="1">
<description>background images</description>
<include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
<imagepath>menubackdrops</imagepath> <!-- add this folder within the media folder. Put in it all the backdrops you wish to use -->
<timeperimage>5000</timeperimage>
<fadetime>2000</fadetime>
<pauseatend>0</pauseatend>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<loop>yes</loop>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
<colordiffuse>BackgroundFilterColor</colordiffuse> <!-- Optional... remove this line to remove the color overlay -->
</control>
</include>inside home.xml change line 30 (<include>Global_Background</include>) for:
Code:
<include>Home_Background</include>voila!

Can this be done in newer version of Alaska in the "Icon Home Layout"?

It's already coded to do this.

Aaah nice, but it's not available in v. 1.8.6 (Downloaded through XBMC Dharma add-on selection), i guess?
EDIT: I can see v. 3.0.10 is available now. I guess this can only be used with Windows versions? (Nightlybuilds), since there is no nightly builds for XBMC LIVE.. :/
