I figured it out this. Look for this:

Code:
    <control type="group">
        <posx>0</posx>
        <posy>620</posy>
        <width>1280</width>
        <height>159</height>
        <include>Animation_CommonFade</include>

Change it to this:

Code:
    <control type="group">
        <posx>0</posx>
        <posy>620</posy>
        <width>1280</width>
        <height>159</height>
        <include>Animation_CommonFade</include>
        <visible>!Window.IsActive(2901)</visible>

Updated in the first post.

Hi.

Quote:I know virtually nothing about skinning so this probably isn't done right as it is mostly just a direct copy from another xml file (DialogSeekBar.xml) with the title, year and cover art added on. Believe it or not it took me hours to figure this out though. I spent forever just looking for which xml file was responsible for this view. Is there a guide somewhere that maybe shows you what xml's are what?

Anyways, here it is...

Just open up DialogFullScreenInfo.xml and replace it with this: http://pastebin.com/f30353a9a

Or download and unzip this to the 720p folder: http://www.upitall.com/Public/Pictur...ScreenInfo.zip


I´ve implemented quite a few changes to that file allready, could you please make a little guide to what I have to change manualy, ie highlight the parts you´ve change with bold text...

Thanks

Back when I did this, It didn't seem like djh had even started on the DialogFullScreenInfo.xml, so all I did was take a direct copy of the DialogSeekBar.xml from cf2009's endtime mod and then added the cover art, title and year in (that change is noted in the pastebin with an indent and comments).

While putting together mine yesterday, i figured out the rounded look for the
poster.

You need to change this :

Code:
<control type="image">
    <description>cover image</description>
    <posx>1130</posx>
    <posy>-217</posy>
    <width>150</width>
    <height>225</height>
    <info>VideoPlayer.cover</info>
    <aspectratio align="right" aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>
</control>

To this :

Code:
<control type="image">
    <description>cover image</description>
    <posx>1130</posx>
    <posy>-217</posy>
    <width>150</width>
    <height>225</height>
    <texture diffuse="thumbs/movieposter_mask.png">$INFO[VideoPlayer.Cover]</texture>
    <aspectratio align="right" aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>
</control>

Yes. But it will also show everything when you skip within the movie.

Just copy all the extra code from DialogFullScreenInfo.xml to DialogSeekBar.xml

also, in TVShows there is no way to display the show poster/cover instead of the show screenshot, because of VideoPlayer.cover ??

or it would be easy just to add a condition to verify if is a movie or tv show playing and display the cover or poster in case of a tv show



I would like to add poster_glass overlay to the poster i create another image control under the cover image but cant make it scale with the poster
Code:
<control type="image">
    <description>cover overlay</description>
    <posx>1130</posx>
    <posy>-217</posy>
    <width>150</width>
    <height>225</height>
        <texture>thumbs/poster_glass.png</texture>
<aspectratio align="right" aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>
                    </control>

I managed to get it working with the code above, but don't know if is the correct way I think it will not work if I resize my screen or change resolution.

I know this is an Old thread but I would like to use this Layot in Aeon65, the new Info and Seekbar is a bit bloated for my taste. I have no problem getting it to work with the "I" key but when I want to use it when the movie is paused I don't know what XML file to replace it isn't: DialogSeekBar.xml which is stated in post #22

It still works like a charmed in the new release of Aeon65
