I've put the file in other_textures (a 1920x1080 png, 1.3mb atm but will reduce filesize eventually) and I've added this to includes.xml:
PHP Code:
<!-- Home BACKGROUND -->
<include name="Home_Background">
<control type="image" id="1">
<description>background image</description>
<include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
<imagepath>other_textures</imagepath>
<fadetime>2000</fadetime>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
<texture>mybackground.png</texture>
</control>
</include>
then I've commented out the GlobalBackground include in Home.xml and stuck <include>Home_Background</include> underneath.
Still nada..

PHP Code:
control type="image" id="1">
<description>background image</description>
<include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
<imagepath>other_textures</imagepath>
<fadetime>2000</fadetime>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
<texture>mybackground.png</texture>
</control>
control type="image" for single image
then use <texture>mybackground.png</texture>
control type="multiimage" for multiple images
then use <imagepath>myimagepath</imagepath>
You had both <texture> and <imagepath> ...
Also see This Link for more options like setting time image is displayed, whether to radomize, etc...

imagepath is used for multi image controls.
Try -
Code:
<texture>other_textures/mybackground.png</texture>RE: Skinning for beginners - Foundation skin, skinning tools, and tips - TheRed - 2013-03-02

okay, so a nooby question here, when I'm viewing the MyVideoNav screen (using View_50_List), I can use my mouse so select to activate the <onclick> fuction. But when I'm viewing Home.xml screen, I can only action the <onclick> by pressing enter. What am I missing?? Thanks in advance for any solution or pointers in the right direction

hi hitcher,
i was looking for a skin, mainly for using addons (online videos and live streams).
most of the skins are really nice, but for my purpose a bit too much.
the skin i had in mind, it's more like an iphone interface with icons and so.
i tried my selfand used confluence as a base and in the Home.xml i added <onload>ActivateWindow(Videos,Addons)</onload> (with thumbnail view) it showed all the addons installed only in the videos section.
my question:
- how can i tweak this window or its contents? show also other plugins from other sections, add a button to go to settings, remove level up option etc.
thanks,
improv

Does the silence mean "no, you can't" or "your question doesn't have much sense".
RE: Skinning for beginners - Foundation skin, skinning tools, and tips - Hitcher - 2013-05-30
Yes you can.

Thank you. However i don't get how. A window has built-in control "id: 4, type: togglebutton". I have a fixed list and i want that control to be one of the <item id="x">
The following obviously doesn't work.
PHP Code:
<item id="1">
<control type="togglebutton" id="4">

As far as i understand in <content> instead of <control type="togglebutton" id="4"> i need to use appropriate infolabel in <label> and built-in function in <onclick>. And this code work
