- ppic - 2010-03-21 thanks for screenshots ! here i made another one: I hope we can upload them on xbmcstuff so we'll grab them with xbmcstuff downloader - ppic - 2010-03-21 hikaricore Wrote:The only advice I might add is that personally I try to add a small border or a shadow to most of how ? i'm interrested, but i'm really not a graphist, just cut images there and there but nothing more... - hikaricore - 2010-03-21 Be sure you are sizing and aligning the images properly, they should be exactly 400x155 and bottom aligned (vertical) center aligned (horizontal). It would be a shame if people churned out a bunch of images that weren't quite up to par with the rest because they missed the post about sizing and such. mcborzu Wrote:My guidelines are: As for the shadow/border it would all depend on the image software you're using. I test each of my images on 4-5 different background colours and adjust them accordingly after. (also I think mcborzu already made one for caprica, check his screenshot so you don't accidentally put your efforts to waste) - ppic - 2010-03-21 no problem, they're just try you test them on backdrops? i'm using gimp or paint.net. yes, i'm missing the vertical allignement on thoses - hikaricore - 2010-03-21 I test them on solids mostly black/green/red/blue/white. Gives me a basic idea of the worst case scenarios of my images out in the wild. :p - ppic - 2010-03-21 i've taken care of alignement this time - xbs08 - 2010-03-21 mcborzu Wrote:Yea thats how I get the path, set the genre "720" as a favorite then open up favorites.xml and get the path from there... Figured out a way to open a specific genre directly... 1. Create a Playlist named Animation 2. PHP Code: <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,special://profile/playlists/video/Animation.xsp,return)</onclick> mcborzu, could you try this with your HD Movies? - mcborzu - 2010-03-21 I just use XBMC for movies and TV, anything else I have to lookup...What are the steps to create a playlist? - xbs08 - 2010-03-21 http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Playlists By creating a playlist you dont have to create a specific genre (eg. for sorting 720p files), and playlist dont require editing, it's all done in xbmc. - mcborzu - 2010-03-21 Heres another section: Pictures in action - Youtube Link I'm not really into the picture section so any suggestions? That wraplist uses square thumbs would 16x9 thumb be better? - paul - 2010-03-22 mcborzu Wrote:Heres another section:Not too shabby at all, good news about the optional clear art thanks - ValiantXI - 2010-03-24 I seriously dont know if I can wait any longer for this release haha. I truely cannot wait to try this skin out. It looks amazing. Please hurry haha - mcborzu - 2010-03-24 ValiantXI Wrote:I seriously dont know if I can wait any longer for this release haha. I truely cannot wait to try this skin out. It looks amazing. Please hurry haha Not too much on my "to do" list: Recently added on home Specific song level view Music fullscreen now playing and general music now playing Redo my video OSD Weather section*- I can live with this being incomplete on release and addressing it later. So weather is last on my list... Then general touchup/cleanup - mcborzu - 2010-03-24 I was thinking probably a bunch of people think "I like the TV section but what if not all of my TV shows have a logo". The video below explains how I hope to handle that automatically. See in Action - Youtube Link* If things can be handled automatically rather than making people check a bunch of skin settings I much prefer that going that route. Though a view where the logos are in a wraplist like this view, there is no way to use a fallback. Even if there was not sure how to get the text right. So that type a view would be logo only. *the skin flows better than the video, I had to pull those posters from TV source since I use landscape thumbs. - hikaricore - 2010-03-24 I've made 151 titles thus far and have tons to go. By the time you release the skin I should have about double that if not more. ^_^ Granted I'm only making them for my own collection aside from a few logos I had lying around for shows I don't watch. |
