pecinko Wrote:Hitch, one suggestion if you don't mind:

<viewtype label="535">list</viewtype> instead of hardwired one in View_50_List.xml, so it can be localized.

Done.

Also added a txt file that contains a list of all the XMLs for use as a checklist.

Here's a suggestion for MyPic.xml


PHP Code:
<control type="button" id="6" description="Slideshow">
                            <
width>300</width>
                            <
align>left</align>
                            <
label>108</label>
                            <
texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
                            <
disabledcolor>Grey</disabledcolor>
                            <
enable>!ListItem.IsFolder</enable>
                        </
control>
            
                        <
control type="button" id="7" description="Recursive slideshow">
                            <
width>300</width>
                            <
align>left</align>
                            <
label>13318</label>
                            <
texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
                            <

                            <

                        </

My bad, ignore this post :-)

So I installed your repo and downloaded and installed your skin and it works great but I don't see it under my addons folder. Am I missing something? Where are the XML files for editing?


- Hitcher - 2011-05-15 09:27

It's found in your userdata/addons folder not the XBMC one.


- Jimbo282 - 2011-05-16 01:02

I swear I must be losing my mind. I've downloaded another skin through XBMC and the same thing. I can enable/disable make it active and it works but no folder anywhere in xbmc/addons or userdata/addons. I've attempted to make all files and folder visible but still no success. I'm using Win7 64-bit, installed XBMC to "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC"

Ok so finally finished this wild goosehunt.

If anyone else has the issue of finding it or other skins on Win7 I found them here:

"C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons"

Where "%user%" is your win7 login name

Sorry, should have said it's found in your Users folder.

will you update this skin to be compatible with (pre)-eden? as i've understood so far there are now views/xmls wich are obsolete and tons of new labels - besides the also included scripts Nerd

thinking about building a skin from scratch using the latest nightly build, so it would be cool to minimize errors by coding it "the right" way.

or is there a list with every change made from dharma to pre-eden until yet and its effect for skinning?


- Hitcher - 2011-05-24 13:55

The thread below this one has the changes but I probably wont be updating until nearer Eden's release.
