[MOD] Adding Night theme back to Multiplex, Showcase and List views

Sranshaft · 2009-06-04 17:51

I'm in love with the new Multiplex view but really miss the Night theme so I spent the night creating some new images and added it back in. Also created some new Night theme images for the List view.

Here's what I came up with:

Showcase with Night theme added back in.

Multiplex with new Night theme images.

List with new Night theme images.

While I was at it, I decided to mod / fix the home screen menu. It always bugged me that the texture and overall look never really mixed well with the rest of the theme. So, I took the Night textures as a base and whipped up a new menu image for it.

Just unzip and drag-and-drop into your skin folder, overwriting any files. You'll have to manually edit the Includes_MediaFlag.xml file. I couldn't include my version of Includes_MediaFlag.xml because I've separated the flag icons into individual folders.

At the top you should see <include name="Furniture_ListMediaFlagsVars">. Just make sure it looks like the code below and you shouldn't have any problems.

Code:

<include name="Furniture_ListMediaFlagsVars">

        <posy>630</posy>

        <width>90</width>

        <height>59</height>

        <include>Animation_CommonFade</include>

        <include>Animation_HideShowcase</include>

        <include>Animation_HideMultiplex</include>        

        <visible>Control.IsVisible(50)</visible>

        <include condition="!Skin.HasSetting(darkshowcase)">ShowcaseMediaFlagLightShade</include>

        <include condition="Skin.HasSetting(darkshowcase)">ShowcaseMediaFlagNightShade</include>

    </include>

@Hitcher: I plan on making the Night / Light theming system-wide so you can bet the time panels will get the Night treatment. Smile

Great work Sranshaft!

I ran into an issue though. When using the plot layout in Multiplex I get the following:

I took the files from your zip and overwrote my skin files. Any idea what's going on?

Thanks

There was a bug in the Viewtype_Multiplex.xml file. I forgot to rename two of the includes. Open that file and at the top change the beginning lines to:

Code:

<include name="MultiplexBigThumbNight">

        <texture>multiplex/multiplex_tablet_bigthumb.png</texture>

    </include>

    <include name="MultiplexBigThumbLight">

        <texture>multiplex/lite/multiplex_tablet_bigthumb.png</texture>        

    </include>

    <include name="MultiplexNight">

        <texture>multiplex/multiplex_tablet.png</texture>

    </include>

    <include name="MultiplexLight">

        <texture>multiplex/lite/multiplex_tablet.png</texture>

    </include>

    <include name="MultiplexTVNight">

        <texture>multiplex/multiplex_tvtablet.png</texture>

    </include>

    <include name="MultiplexTVLight">

        <texture>multiplex/lite/multiplex_tvtablet.png</texture>

    </include>

Thanks for letting me know about that. I'll update the main download with the bugfix soon.

Or change all lines like this

Quote: <include condition="!Skin.HasSetting(darkshowcase)">MultiplexBigThumbLight</include>
<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(darkshowcase)">MultiplexBigThumbNight</include>

To this

Quote: <include condition="!Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)">MultiplexBigThumbLight</include>
<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)">MultiplexBigThumbNight</include>

It works for me Smile

Did you redo all the images by yourself? Because I think e.g. the Showcase one is still there anywhere. At least my Showcase view is in Night mode (because it was so before I updated to the latest GIT and I didn't overwrite my settings). But of course the new Multiplex View and List View are in Light Mode.

Thanks for the nice work!!!

EDIT: Did you replace the Genre list which was above the movie name with the director or something? Is this included in the modded files you uploaded?

Very nice, my compliments, I see forward to a system wide Night theme! Again, good work!
