Is there any reason you can't change the color sheets on this one like the normal Alaska? Will you be able to do this later? I don't like all the white but other then that currently it's my favorite skin for SVN.

You're right. Confluence has the same issue.

'Revisited' is not simply a mod of Alaska but was built from scratch by myself so there is a lot of code differences. If someone wants to build a new theme for it the easiest way would be to simply get the textures and color XML and edit them to suit - this is how it's normally done anyway.

cheers

but i have the media info xml file in your skinfolder but how do i add it to the menus so i can select it what xml do i need to edit to add this option as i have placed the mediainfo.xml in the 720p folder

once i have done that i can try and edit the mediainfo.xml file to use the same fonts as your skin.

cheers just a learner

where do you find out how to mod skins

Show Information as Default Select action test

This is without having to press 'i' to bring up the info screen; it's simply all done with 'select'.


- meridius - 2010-07-15

like that option.

i can not seem to figure out which xml file controls the file views, i have found all the file view.xmls but i would like to add my own but i dont know how to get it into the view options

Cool, can you then press select to start the movie? It's always bugged me that you have to back out of info and then hit select to play the film.

EDIT: just watched the video and it appears the answer is YES? Is it possible not to have the play button overlay but just hit select on the info screen to play the video?


- Hitcher - 2010-07-15

I'll probably make the 'Play' symbol optional but it's there for as an indicator that the next 'select' press will play the file.


- Reginald - 2010-07-15

Very nice addition, I have to agree it is nice that you can just press select again to start playing rather than backing out and starting it again.


- Hitcher - 2010-07-15

You could select 'play' from the submenu before but this way is easier.

Hi, what do u think about adding a play movie and a play trailer option in that info menu so u have a choise to just play the movie or watch the trailer might be a good option what u think ?


- Hitcher - 2010-07-15

Trailers can be be played (if they're available) from the submenu anyway.
