Containment Skin beta release

**CHI3f** · 2007-04-24 06:10

Here is why the work on xTV suddenly slowed down. The skin has some features never used in a skin before like having a skin settable startup playlist and you can change some of the image and font colors with a simple skin option. Basically everything in the skin that is orange by default can be changed, I have about six color presets and you can add your own. Also has custom backgrounds and animations. I have also made all the images for the controls in the home window the same size and have the same position on screen so theme makers can basically make them what ever they want, no need to stick with the circle design.

I would like to thank mbesik for doing all the GFX, Donno for the color changing script, and Jezz_X for helping me figure out a few bugs that were driving me crazy.

Containment can be found in the XBMC Skinning Project SVN. Just use the following url in you SVN client:
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbox...ontainment

A prebuilt version can also be found here:

I hope you enjoy

that looks nice. I like the orange on black.

This skin is pretty hardcore Smile

I don't think it is for everyone but I really like some of the creative decisions you made.

The color choices is a very nice touch.... Hmmm... you know Nuka has a color choosing widget that might work well if integrated with the font color script under a "Custom" button or something... Hmmm...

Anyway it's great to see thinking that's outside of the box Smile

Great work CHI3f + mbesik - I really like it.

One thing I noticed:

Album Info, on right from the left buttons doesn't go to the textbox. OnLeft does though. Also the spinner looks a little out location-wise.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Will give it a shot, used an ipod for motivation eh?

Nuka1195 · 2007-04-24 15:16

Asteron, I'm not sure what widget your talking about, unless you mean the chooser.py in AMT?

As Asteron said combining the two scripts wouldn't be too difficult.

I believe he's talking about the SMARTXX LED color chooser

You have that ambient light color chooser thingie... isnt that yours?

Nuka1195 · 2007-04-24 18:13

Ah yeah, same as what Pike said.

It could be modified easy enough I'm sure.
