[MOD] "The Operation" PM3.HD Mod

Just checked out the Mod and i am super happy with the look. I was just wondering why i dont get the same view in the music library as this


Instead i get text centred down the bottom with the artist name, instead of artist, album and genre in the bottom left. If i scrape i then get the artist information layering over the top of this label? and is unreadable.

I will try and download it again and install a clean version of the skin and get to you if it works.

Ok sorted it.

It was only for the Root folder for the artist this was happening. I ended up editing the xml file and removed the caption for the artist description.

No i just have to find afew hundred fanart images for my library

great mod!!

I didn't even think how it will look with the artist info because I don't scrap for it. Did it over run with other text?


Artist images are easily found in these forms. Some large packs to get and google images is great. Just takes time.

**UPDATE**

Just threw in about 25 more studio icons. I have my movies going at about 80% showing flags. The rest are mostly due to improper nfo's. I will have to straighten those out myself. Change two default home page images to a couple that I think blend better.

Same download spot. Thanks to everyone for trying it out and all the feedback.

This is a very, nice mod, really like the backgrounds they do look so familiar

Really great work. PM3 and (HD) are still very nice and best running skins.

ekim232 did you see this mod from jezz_x himself.

I really like the honeycomb. The carbon look is old fashion if you ask me.

Maybe you can implement this also to your mod. download.

Edit:
I'm looking at your skin mod with Brushed_Comb.xpr and wow they made for each other.

I agree with you on the Chrome Comb look. I just added it to the media folder so you can choose between the default or that one. I also added a the blue theme (buttons, overlays, ect.) to the Chrome Comb look. I think it looks much better than the yellowish-green default (plus it matches all my Samsung components).

I also fixed the artist information on fanart view (it scrolled into the artist name). Thanks for the suggestion Waffa!

Any chance of getting XBMC back in the top left instead of The Operation?

I will have an update tomorrow that will let you choose from within skin settings. The update will also include the option to turn on/off genre fanart & add favorites button to main page. I also noticed DVD & Bluray flagging weren't working, so that has been fixed (I deleted the code some how??).

Is there any way to run the coverflow view on the original PMIII skin? If anyone knows how to do this please let me know.



AND this one two

Sorry for the newbie question but I've downloaded the two files from your download link and uncompressed both the .rar files but I'm unsure as to how to install.

When I created a seperate folder 'The Operation' in the skin folder and then tried to set the skin via the Settings > Apperance option it says that the skin is 'Incompatible Skin. We require skinds of version 2.00 or higher'

Also what do I do with the Home Backgrounds .rar file?

Thanks
