MC360 Take One?

to be honest its been so long I can't really remember but pretty sure what I posted above is all that needed doing.
I guess its a test it out yourself thing it should work perfectly fine until you start getting into lower dialogs. And I doubt it will lock up anything

Would it bother you jezz_x or anyone else if I asked questions as I try to do work on this skin? It may be a lot of questions over the next many weeks.
I'd like to see it progress further and I am just going to dive into the xml as best as I can. I have already done a little work on adding a new view, so I have that figured out a bit. And I also edited a couple dialogs to be cleaner.

Anywho, what xml do I have to edit for this dialog?

Not sure if this would be of benefit to anyone, but I downloaded Jezz_X's semi-complete Skin and merged it with the current MC360 skin already in XBMC. So far everything is working quite nice, a few missing things such as the Favorites menu when hitting start, and other various anomalies. Otherwise, I like the layout of the skin much better than the orginial MC360.

XBMC is running on an old CRTV at 4:3 so having larger icons makes it much easier to preview shows. Cheers to Jezz_X by the way!

Install procedure:

Load up original MC360 Skin. http://blackbolt.x-scene.com/skins/xbmc/...ay2009.zip

Verify proper operation then FTP Jezz_X's update over the MC360. I had to open several folders until both the original MC360 folders and Jezz_X's 360 folders matched. Then I uploaded and had the eye candy waiting at the Xbox. Hope this helps someone!

wish someone would come along and finish this one proper. It was looking so sweet.

Hello everyone, long time visitor here first time posting.
I have started on cleaning things up a little on this skin. I have added the addons xml, media flagging, and I am in the process of cleaning up dialogs in the priority of how often I have to look at them.



Thank you Jezz_X for your hard work on this and I hope that I can get some feedback on this from you as well as others because I would really like to get this up to par with the rest of these great skins around here.

cheers-

Hello all!
I'll keep this updated as to what and where I'm at with this skin. I have been doing work with the addons areas (as well as still cleaning dialogs)
</DukeOfTheWicked>

oh yea...


The time on that screenshot is correct and no im not an early riser, i am now going to bed.

Keep up the good work, the Now Playing screen looks pretty snazzy. :">

Been a few days since the last post.
Anyway besides the seemingly endless small fixes that just get forgotten, noteworthy updates... I have added the AddonBrowser.xml, So the Addons now actually works. The Shutdown menu is now near complete (functional, still ugly). And the DialogFullScreenInfo.xml is nearly complete to match the music one. In the next week or 2 I'd like to be done with these things and at least get the foundation down for a 2nd view type.





I wish I had a SVN set up for this

I have been busy borrowing code from Confluence and editing the hell out of it for a better fit (i hope you dont mind jezzx i still have alot to learn). And even though the media flags looks really nice they are borrowed from Xperience, don't worry I'm giving them back.

So here it is............... Work is not completed but this is what i've got so far..............


I will probably not post any updates for a while, not cause nothing is happening but because I would rather post when I have a number of cool things to show off.

BTW-
Jezzx, can you point me in the right direction as to why when the homebuttons are highlighted the text disappears on recent builds, but it works just fine on old ones?

The buttons will need <textwidth> added too them probably in the include HomeButtonCommonValues I'm actually pretty sure I fixed them all myself after I posted it here for people to download
