Hi,

This being my first post on this forum, I would like to thank you for making this skin, it really improves the XBMC experience.

I'm using the Fanart view mode.
I was searching for how to remove thumbnails on movies and tv shows and I found what I was looking for. Thanks.


Now that I removed those thumbnails, I want to move the title and the info box containing genre, runtime, year, rating etc. all the way to the left of the screen. Where thumbnails used to be.
I made the list of movies smaller from within settings, but I would like to make it even smaller. Containing a list of 4 movies.

I attached a picture, where I graphically marked things I want to move and to where I want them to be.



I want to move nr 1 over to 1a.

And I want the box marked 2, to stop at the line marked 3.

Hope you are able to point me to the lines in the xml where I need to change the code.

Once again, thanks in advance.

to make the fanart list shorter, make three modifications in Includes.xml:
- adjust the height of the list: see <include name="FanartShort">
- adjust the height of the scrollbar: see <include name="AllViewCommonPageControls">
- move the panel down: see <include name="ContentPanel">

moving the infolabels to the left need to be done in View-Fanart.xml:
- adjust the <posx> value of the labels inside <include name="Fanart-Videos_Extras">

Thanks Ronie!

With your help I was able to tweak this skin exactly how I wanted.

I've been asked to share which lines I changed, so I made a list of the changes that I did.
I did some re-tweaking and I've attached a new picture of what it will look like with these values.

My resolution is 1920 x 1080, incase that affects the values below. If so these values may not be accurate if you are using another resolution.
