ZombieRobot Wrote:Work has begun on the fully customizable settings interface this is a $h!t load of coding for little gain but i feel that it will make things way easier for the XBMC noobs out there wanting to setup there skin but not knowing what each option really does.
Absolutely all skin settings options will be able to be toggled visually no text thats the goal so that the user can see every single tweak visually.

ZombieRobot Wrote:I begun work on the custom osd menu today adding switchable backdrops, spinning cdart in info screen animated slideshow, toggling on and off a ton of text/progress bar you will literally be able to turn on and off every single thing in osd to create a fully customizable view.
this will happen throughout the full interface of showmix evolution you will be able to add and move things around the home screen as you please add or remove recently added switch between different recently added options and positions add analog clock and move it around.

FLuX0r Wrote:2. Jumping back in the homescreen changes the previous selected category
When in homescreen and you choose and enter the "movies"-section for example and the get back to the homescreen, the chosen (highlighted) category has changed. So now there is "settings" highlighted for example and not "movies" as previously chosen.
This happens for other categories like musik as well.

FLuX0r Wrote:One last Question:
What does the option "mediavizualisation on/off" in the shutdown-menu do ?
I could not see any changes in the appearance of the skin.

FLuX0r Wrote:Does anyone know, what this option is for ?

sergiocos Wrote:Probably to see music visualization in the background when you browse the main menu (and listen to music) or to see the movie in the background when you browse the main menu (and a video file is playing)

ZombieRobot Wrote:UPDATE


Next up is bringing some classic Aeon stark into Showmix

Also ppics awesome tvtunes has been added and working well a release should be in around two to three weeks if i can get in enough coding time you wouldn't believe how much time you need to put into skinning i try to get 3 to 4 hours a day on top of working 11 hour days its nuts i have so much respect for jezz x, hitcher, mcborzu, Team Blackbolt, ronie and all the others for doing it for so long its tough work but very addictive/rewarding

ZombieRobot Wrote:UPDATE
