qualar Wrote:No those genre images are not used. But if you prefer them I could look at implementing them.

rapidvelo Wrote:Yes this would be great, it would have nice look when searching this way for a movie as opposed to a folder icon.

Thank you!

qualar Wrote:Can you think of any skins that use genre images?

rapidvelo Wrote:I see some example screenshots here, but not sure which skins they are..

I didn't try this yet, but this maybe my answer -- But then again I'm not sure where exactly to try and add this..lol

qualar Wrote:Just looked at the genre idea. But it would require a ton of work. You would need to add code to every movie view. For me at the moment the amount of work required far outweighs the gains. Sorry.

rapidvelo Wrote:Not a problem, do appreciate the response back. Out of curiousity could you point me to direction of making this change? Lets say I only wanted to apply it to 1 movie view?

Thanks ,

qualar Wrote:Basically just find the code that is displaying the folder for that view then add a visibility tag to hide that if you are in Genre View.

Then add this code something like the below, obviously you will need to change the sizes and positions.

Code:

<control type="image">
    <visible>Container.Content(genres) + !Window.IsActive(musiclibrary)</visible>
        <posy>513</posy>
        <posx>100</posx>
    <width>346</width>
    <height>511</height>
    <texture  fallback="moviegenre/default.jpg">moviegenre/$INFO[ListItem.Label].jpg</texture>
</control>

If you do make the changes I will be happy to add to the main mod.

rapidvelo Wrote:Qualar,

Thank you, I gave it many attempts, I couldn't even get it working in 1 view, I came close in the Big Icon view, but I reverted everything. I tried to take a look how the Night Skin did it in the poster wrap view.. but alot of work as you mentioned.

I can live with your MOD without it!
