[New Feature] Advanced Launcher ROM Support - EXPERTS ONLY

slekvak · 2011-06-25 19:24

I can only define "Fanart" under Shortcuts? Is this because I'm using an old version of the skin? I have not been able to update it to the last version due to "dependencies not met". I'm on nightly. I don't know what dependencies that are missing for the update though...

hey igotdvds. Do you really need that folder structure? I only use the 2 images that Advanced Launcher providers directly, In that case can I skip the whole folder structure thing?

For some views, yes. Sorry. Sad

Hey igotdvds,

I've been away from here for a while. What is 'broken' on a Dharma in your latest GIT?

I am tempted to use it and try the ROM launcher! Laugh

Still doing good work I see! Nod

Not sure. I dont think too much is "broken", there are just ALOT of features that arent available. I strongly encourage you to get the nightlies and enjoy all the cool new stuff.

While your approach to ALA support is very flexible I think it's cumbersome for user (just my opinion)

IMHO (I added this views to shade), first step should be to expose the artwork ALA provides (only thumbnails and fanart) and the data. This should require 3 views per layout (square, tall and wide thumbs), any layout created should have this 3 shapes for thumbnails and fanart on the background (or on a window depending on the layout)

After that is done you have covered 90% of the ALA userbase I guess, then you can go for more skin specific features like extrafanart, game studio logos, even trailers are doable.

Anyway just my opinion and my 2 cents, I modded one view to suit my needs (very simple mod)

Went from this:

Do you mind if I make a mod?

Absolutely not! This community thrives on mods. Thats how I got started. Wink

In fact, if its good enough I may just copy the code into the regular skin. So do a good job. Smile
