Is is possible to convert a viewtype (ie a dvdcovers like view) to work as a home menu view?
As a graphic artist and skin tweaker but a sh*t coder it seems to be outside of my grasp, and since I can easily create dvd like posters for a home screen for the icons (ie movies, tv shows, music etc) I was wondering if anyone has done this yet?
This mostly has stemed from the fact there's a lot of spectacular skins out there but a lack of uniformity is killing me... what do I mean? I would like a poster view available in movies,tv shows,programs,netflix, etc and no one skin seems to standardize the views everywhere. Refocus - excellent movies/tv show views, horrible programs, alaska nice home and programs but videos not as crisp as my preference, fusion bloody spectacular programs,videos,shows,music but a personal nightmare of a home screen.
So...has anyone taken a view from a skin and converted it to a home screen? If so can I see the codebase for a modified home.xml?
The skins with the closest aspects for me is fusion if I can convert a video/program view to home or if one of the 3 metro nxes had at least released a home.xml and I'll cram a video view into them.
Anyways you know me and my work sorry I'm a nitpicky guy.
Thanks for the answers and good luck.
