Amra,
Can you add this mod to BA? It would be great to add custom home menu items!

Bug on Home screen?? - a51alias - 2010-09-22 08:16

Hi, Thanks for a great interpretation of a fantastic skin.

Sorry if this has been reported already but the date is truncated on all screens that show it. See the screen-shot attached:

Apologies if this post is either in the wrong place or in the wrong format but we all have to start somewhere! Confused
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't worry, fixed it for me by editing font.xml and changing Font_Date back to 18

I modifie some xml to include the script logo downloader. It works but I can't use the downloaded clearart. Witch xml do I modifie to use this one ?

that's what I do :
in DialogVideoInfo.xml
Quote:<!-- Logo downloader -->
<control type="button" id="14">
<description>Logo downloader</description>
<include>ButtonInfoDialogsCommonValues</include>
<label>$LOCALIZE[40297]</label>
<onclick>XBMC.RunScript(script.logo-downloader,mode=solo,logo=True,clearart=True,showthumb=True,showname=$INFO[ListItem.TVShowTitle])</onclick>
<visible>Container.Content(tvshows)</visible>
</control>

in addon.xml :
Quote:<import addon="script.logo-downloader" version="2.0.0"/>

in strings.xml :
Quote: <string id="40297">Logos</string>

thancks in advance

Amra,
I want to mod the home screen to add a dedicated panel for launching a few python scripts (which actually sends triggers to EventGhost to launch Windows Media Center DVR)

I know to use XBMC.RunScript but it seems that you have a few home XMLs as well as a few sections that control the menu's movement and icons.

Can you explain what files/sections I need to mod?

thx for the help!

I added a few extra home screen items. I think this is what you're looking for.

I'm using home2. I read home1 is much harder to change and since i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing, i sticked to home2.
I changed the icons back afterwards and am pretty satisfied with the result.

what you need to do is add some extra lines to your Includes_Home_2.xml

Code:
<item id="15">
<description>Documentaries</description>
<label></label>
<icon>homeicons/docs.png</icon>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(10025,videodb://1/1/7/)</onclick>
</item>
First i added my documentary genre as a favourite. then looked up the onclick code in favourites.xml.
The rest should point itself out.

Like i said, i'm pretty satisfied with the result, but still got some things on my to-do list.
Amra, i noticed you also made that home statistic mod. I'm trying to get stats for my documentary & stand up items. would this be hard and where should i be looking?

If anybody could point me in the right direction, it would be most helpful

- In the recently added movies section the total listed is 25. Where can i change it to 50?
- I'd like to change the font size for the plot in all views. how do i do this?

prolly off-topic but ill take a shot
wat an awesome theme that is looks cool (havent been on alaska for a while now is it standard ?) and second where did u get that RSS feed ? about released movies?

- ironmantetsuo - 2010-09-27 17:39

The feed is from vcdq.com
Code:
http://www.vcdq.com/taxonomy/term/38/feed
I'm sure there are better sites for this. some even have customizable feeds where you can choose which shows, release groups etc you wish to filter.
i took vcdq.com because they only list movies and i'm too lazy to customize one myself on the other sites...

The stencil theme is an option in big alaska (or can be downloaded from the color thread for regular alaska.)
I did recreate the regular home style 1 icons in photoshop and replaced them with the ones that came with the stencil theme.
