Add NextAired to your landscape view
#1
In my quest to set up everything how I like, I made this small addition, for my TV shows. I use the multi-logo view. I like seeing when a show will be on next, so I added next aired to the screen. Not many people I imagine will like/want this look but figured I would share it just in case.

Note this is a very specific setup, it will only look good with the breadcrumbs setup in classic view, if you use a different setting, you will have to adjust the height of the text. Also if you use Single logo, you will also have to lower the text as I set this up for my specific view (see below)

First right click and save this image
Image
Make sure its named "overlaynextaired.png"
Copy it to your media folder.

Then open Viewtype_Landscape.xml and find:
Code:
<control type="label">
                    <width>1920</width>
                    <aligny>bottom</aligny>
                    <align>center</align>
                    <include>Animation_VisibleChange200</include>
                    <scroll>true</scroll>
                    <scrollspeed>30</scrollspeed>
                    <font>Font_Bold19</font>
                    <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>
                    <label>$VAR[LandscapeLogoLabelVar]</label>
                    <visible>Skin.HasSetting(landscapeonelogo) + [Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(movies)]  + !Control.HasFocus(61)</visible>
                </control>

After it add:

Code:
<!-- BEGIN Next Aired -->
    <control type="group">
           <visible>!IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(NextAired.NextDate))</visible>
            <control type="image">
                   <posx>580</posx>
                   <posy>-10</posy>
                   <width>750</width>
                   <height>200</height>
                    <aspectratio scalediffuse="false">stretch</aspectratio>
                    <texture>Overlaynextaired.png</texture>
            </control>
               <control type="label">
                   <posx>550</posx>
                   <posy>20</posy>
                   <width>800</width>
                   <height>20</height>
                   <aligny>center</aligny>
                   <align>center</align>
                   <label>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(NextAired.NextTitle)]</label>
                   <font>Font_Bold19</font>
                   <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>
            </control>
          <control type="label">
                   <posx>550</posx>
                   <posy>60</posy>
                   <width>800</width>
                   <height>20</height>
                   <aligny>center</aligny>
                   <align>center</align>
                   <label>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(NextAired.NextDate)]</label>
                   <font>Font_Bold19</font>
                   <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>
               </control>
    </control>
<!-- END Next Aired -->

You will only really ever see that dark overlay if its a light background. As usual with my addons, theres probably a 10 times better way to do this, but it is what it is lol. If you use a different view or breadcrumb setting, and really want this added, let me know and I'll figure out and post the changes to make it look good.

Also you really probably don't need the dark overlay image, so if you don't want it, just don't add the image part. I added it as I like it.

I updated the overlay image (for third time) to be allot lighter and not so obvious, also I adjusted the height of it. When I get some time tomorrow, I'll post a version that is more layout friendly if you use the single logo layout or have the nox breadcrumb layout (as apposed to the classic ones like I use) I re-took the screen shot to show how it looks now with the changes. I actually don't like that overlay image I made but couldn't think of a better way to do it. Luckily it only shows up on very light backgrounds to do its job so you can read the text on white as its too light to see otherwise.

If I can think of a better way to do it I'll post it

PS. Yes I suck at coding lol

I made a adjustment to Landscape in addition to the one above, what this will do is if you chose the "Use Alt Floor" option, instead of making it black, it will show your fanart, but still have some shade to it as I prefer to see all the fanart but still like a little shade, see image::

Download contains the two images you need to replace as well as backup images, you will need the GIT version of Aeon Nox.
