first of all a question @PatrickBateman:
How did you create the movie collection tile? Could not get it working to create a smartplaylist which only shows the collectionfolders.
then i have made a little lighter version of the skin just by changing some PNGs and added a sort of CMYK Theme.
Perhaps someone is interested in these files then i will upload them seperately.
Hey,
The collections tile was made simply by using the "sets" category built directly into xbmc. It works perfectly for me, I add custom Posters and Fanart and set it to landscape poster view. it looks wonderful and works perfectly, all my movie collections are there, they all have the correct Posters/Fanart etc and upon entering each collection, my view changes to landscape where custom Fanart is displayed long with the description of each movie.
Little no no effort of setup was required
I like your theme, it's fun, you should upload this as a theme or for users to download. I'd certainly take it, it looks nice and bright and summery/fresh. My current setup is very dark, simple "lite" and I've made a few changes such as custom backdrops, overlays, tile colours etc too but yours is great.
Get it up up loaded
To the guy who PMd me re: the random movie script, this was an old script that el_p and I came up with back when we were actively working on Cirrus Extended with butchabay, however the script stopped working after frodo was released.
Good news is el_p has updated it for Frodo and it works wonderfully. I'm going to talk to him in the coming days to see if we can get the random trailers etc back too as that was a very classy little feature, it made many visitors "oohhhh" and "aaahhhh" whe they saw it in action.
I miss those days, we had such fun creating and working that skin, I loved every minute that I worked on it with butchabay and el_p ... They are 2 of the best/nicest guys ive ever had the pleasure to work with (and meet) on xbmc.org and in life in general
I'm proud to have my name in the CE credits as its a pure work of art from one of the nicest guys, and most talented skinners Ive ever met! (although we have never met afk)
You will find the script in the cirrus thread,
