Firstly some screen shots.

As you can see using the Plot Outline means you only get one or two sentences that sum up the movie a lot better than some of the terrible Plots on IMDB. It also means there's virtually no scrolling of text on screen either.

You will have shortened text for Runtime if your NFO's contain more than one timing - I personally edit any NFO that does with the correct runtime for the version I have and I've also requested that MIP uses the source video length for that field so it's perfectly accurate.

You'll also have shortened text for the Rating if you use US/MPAA style ones - I'm from the UK so I use the BBFC ones.

Here's both the dark and the new lite texture plus the xml file (that's up-to-date as of today) all rarred up ready to extract and drop into the Aeon folder.

Aeon Mod

Here's the code in case of updates to Aeon.

Open up your Viewtype_Multiplex.xml and find both entries of this code -

Code:
multiplex_full_infobigthumb.png

and replace with this -

Code:
multiplex_full_infobigthumb2.png

Secondly find this code -

Code:
            <control type="group">

                <posx>60</posx>

                <posy>0</posy>

                <control type="group">

                    <posy>22</posy>

                    <control type="label">

                        <include>MultiplexInfoLabel</include>

                        <label>$LOCALIZE[31402]:</label>

                    </control>

                    <control type="label">

                        <include>MultiplexInfoValue</include>                

                        <label fallback="31425">$INFO[Container(52).ListItem.Director]</label>

                    </control>            

                </control>

and insert

Code:
                <visible>![Skin.HasSetting(multiplexfanart) | Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)]</visible>

below

Code:
<posy>0</posy>

Then at the end of that control group where you see this code -

Code:
                <control type="group">

                    <posy>322</posy>

                    <control type="label">

                        <include>MultiplexInfoLabel</include>

                        <label>$LOCALIZE[31408]:</label>

                    </control>

                    <control type="label">

                        <include>MultiplexInfoValue</include>                

                        <label fallback="31425">$INFO[Container(52).ListItem.RatingAndVotes]</label>

                    </control>            

                </control>

            </control>

insert this group -

Code:
            <control type="group">

                <posx>60</posx>

                <posy>0</posy>

                <visible>Skin.HasSetting(multiplexfanart) | Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)</visible>

                <control type="group">

                    <posy>22</posy>

                    <control type="label">

Wow, this is excellent. Is there any chance this could be included officially into Aeon?

Can't get your file down i get this message

Quote:Invalid File. This error has been forwarded to MediaFire's development team.

I finally got the file but it's corrupt and was only 23kb?

**Hitcher** · 2009-04-30, 19:26

Strange, worked for me.

Try this one for now -

Unlikely.

crowbar77 · 2009-05-01, 04:10

Any chance you could just upload your multiplex.xml file?

Arkon11 · 2009-05-01, 04:31

Love the short plot outli we, but is there any chance we could keep the 2 thumbnails and not the little fanart images?

Here ya go http://www.4shared.com/file/102747792/1b...iplex.html

Hitcher are you planning on doing this for the light theme? as that looks better to me than the dark colour thanks

The reason I posted the code and not the xml is simply because things can get changed around with an update and you'd be lost.

Yup, I got myself all screwed up between modding and pulling the newest files from git. I ended up just creating one folder that I do all the git pulls to and then a second folder with all my mods - then I copy over the new updates to that folder and re-do any modding if necessary.
