The mods should now all be RSS friendly. Here are a few screens shots of all my personal mods. A few notes:
- All the home screen backgrounds are customizable as usual, and that's what you'll see in most of the screenshots. I used standard confluence images for the default backgrounds so as not to disrupt things much.
- I'm using a different addon pack for the weather images. Those are stored in the XBMC program directory and have nothing to do with my skin mods
- The date/time/weather bar on the home screen shows up on all screens
- The mods include support for Artist Slideshow in the full screen music now playing
- I added a few things to the strings.xml file but haven't updated any of them except the English one. All my changes are at the bottom of the strings file and labeled as customizations.
Weather
If you have Weather information enabled, you'll get an abbreviated set of forecast information at the bottom of the weather home screen.
This one is just to show that favorites and shutdown are no longer icons and instead in the menu. This allowed me to reduce the width of the side bar.
TVShows
I borrowed the recently added display from Confluence vertical. I borrowed from Metropolis the idea to have a smaller 16x9 ratio image so you can see your entire fanart. If you disable recently added then both the recently added info and the smaller 16x9 image go away. You'll also notice that the slide out tray has been moved to the far right of the screen. That allowed me to maximize the screen space for the new recently added options.
Movies
Ditto for movies.
Now Playing
I moved the now playing info for music/video to the lower left. It won't show in Videos/Movies/TV Shows if you have recently added active. There's just no place for it to go.
In weather and LiveTV the now playing will shift up to be above the other information already there.
LiveTV
Mostly just to prove the support is there. If you download just the PVR support from the master branch you'll get the "standard" now/next recording box in the upper right.
