First thanks for the great base skin. I have been playing with it and trying to get backgrounds for each of the items in the home page as well as aligning the text to fit correctly. I am not exactly sure what I am doing wrong at this point. would love any advice from the experts.

I pasted my home.xml here:

Any pointers or advice would be great. I have played with other skins but am having trouble starting from scratch like this.

Regards,
SoBBie

PS I am starting with the 1080 skin only.

You only need the one image control that will get it's info from whatever's focused in the list.

PHP Code:
        <control type="image">
            <
posx>0</posx
            <
posy>0</posy
            <
width>1920</width
            <
height>1080</height
            <
texture background="true">$INFO[Container(300).ListItem.Icon]</texture
            <
fadetime>600</fadetime
        </
control

Then you just add the images to the items.

PHP Code:
                <item id="1">
                    <
description>Programs</description>
                    <
label>31002</label>
                    <
icon>special://skin/backgrounds/program_image.png</icon>
                    
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Programs,Addons)</onclick>
                </
item

Thank you very much for this! Just one question, where do you locate the Foundation skin under OS X? Can't seem to find it anywhere.


- pecinko - 2011-08-05 18:41

On OS X, all skins are in

/Users/doestergaard/Library/Application\ Support/XBMC/addons

The Library is not anymore located in my folder. I have upgrated from SL to Lion. :confused2:

EDIT: Problem is solved, it was hidden by default in OSX.

Waht exactly do the lines in home.xml change?

<width>1920</width>
<height>846</height>
<onup>300</onup>
<ondown>300</ondown>
<onleft>300</onleft>
<onright>300</onright>
<focusposition>5</focusposition>
<scrolltime>200</scrolltime>

The width and height of the main list; the function of it's directional controls; it's focus position in the list; and the time it takes to scroll from one item to the next.
