Focus (an XBMC Media Center skin) discussion thread

BOOKMARKED!

Great looking skin we got here. When this skin get a good cleansing, it'll be on par if not surpass the PM3 skin IMO. Keep up the good work!

OSD with File mode - working!!!
OSD with Library mode - working!!!

Fantastic job! Noticed just a minor hick-up. Under both the Video and Audio settings menu the page id (1/2 -- 2/2) overlap with the scroll buttons (v^).

Now, what about being able to edit that home menu.

What build of XBMC are you using to get this working?

I thought that my old build wouldn't cut it, so tried this out on XBMC-SVN_2008-01-27_rev11426-T3CH and the skin has no text. Neither had PM III actually. I had to press a few buttons on boot to wipe my settings (had to set Aeon's all back up..) Do not get this build.

Then I went back to my old stable build (XBMC-SVN_2008-06-01_rev13360-T3CH) and it had the same problem. Wiped the settings again. Double Arg.

On the XBOX I'm currently using rev 13360. 11426 definitely is too old. I don't know if its directly related to the font problem but I would advice you to upgrade anyway, as Focus uses conditional visibility on the listviews, which was implemented in xbmc maybe two months ago or something. Without that support Focus wouldn't be able to function properly anyway, fonts or no fonts.



I included the fix for the OSD and some other fixed into a new package. I'll do some other little things tonight and a revised version will be available tomorrow I think.

sweet I'm looking forward to it

Sorry, I know I said to release an update yesterday but some things came up. I think i'm going to push for some more updates and fixes and if all goes well I'll be posting it sometime the coming weekend. Then I'll probably also post some about the progress on the HD version.

Hey man, damn nice skin,

suddenly I dont feel left out for running XBMC through a 15Inch 4:3!

only downside to the skin I can see is the lack of a programs menu, but thats probably just me being picky, I have no current-gen consoles, or up-to-date PC so still play XBox1

still im definetly keeping an eye on this one!

What do you mean exactly by a programs menu? Through the accessories menu on the home screen you can enter the programs section. By pressing left in that section you can skip to the savegames. Things like Kai are not supported atm though. I hardly play games on the xbox but if you have certain wishes/suggestions regarding the programs section let´s hear it and I´ll take those into consideration

nice looking skin and funcional too

Like mentioned before, sound volume its just too big and center screen isn't a good option.

Please make it open source and available in xbmcsm

Hmm, the accessories just opens the favourites menu? thankfully I have "games" favourited, but seems a little long-winded...

but to be honest I may just be being a complete ignoramus (sp?) still, I'm definetly following this!
