Generic Folder Icons & Menu Editing of the xTV skin?

**jmarshall** · 2008-07-01 00:31

The icon now sticks - not as elegant as I would have liked, but it works.

Neat... I was wondering how to do this too... Thanks guys!

As for the wiki, maybe there could be a specific 'Modding Skins' section comprised of this and how to edit the home page items (e.g. changing 'Programs' to 'Plugins' in PMIII) as a lot of people ( I think) would like to know how to do that.

Just a thought.

Those are great looking folder Icons, did you make them yourself?

Does this also work for PMIII? I am having trouble with this. I created 2 png's, one "DefaultTvshows.PNG" and another, "DefaultMovies.PNG". I then placed these into the media folder. But the icons do not show up in the library view for the "Movies" and "TV Shows" folders. I have googled and scrounged the forums, but just can't find it. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Better late than never I guess, all I can think of is the capitalization of the PNG suffix, try png.

Is there any way to get icons for specific genres using a scheme similar to this? For example DefaultGenreAction.png or something like that? This question has been mulled around considerably in this thread and it would be nice to get to the bottom of it Wink

Cheers.

according to another thread (link) these are the only ones that you can modify link but thinking about wouldn't it be awesome if one could have a DefaultGenreFamily.png and then of course if you had nfo's with a genre called Family it would use that thumbnail. How does one sumbit a trac?
