Background="true" coding?
#1
So I am working towards moving my Operation mod to use the background="true" on the homepage and I am running into a snag....the images don't appear. First I just deleted my old coding and filled it in with the code in found in PM3.HD. All labels and positioning was fine, but I was not getting images. I also edited my custom_skinsettings.xml to match as well. Just to test I completely copied and pasted PM3.HD's home.xml and custom_skinsettings.xml into my Operation 720p folder and got the same results. I even am using the PM3.HD images and have the backgrounds folder in the skin folder. Below is my debug log and I can see there is a and error with the images loading, but I don't see why. If anyone can put a solution to it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank!

Sounds like you may be using a skin with version < 2.11

I first tried changing all the backdrops to have "Big" at the end, but it didn't work still. I then looked at the skin version and changed it from 2.1 to 2.11 and the images all show perfectly now.

Thanks for the help!!

Glad you got it working. In order to keep the signal to noise ratio up, the reason is because you're using ListItem.Icon to do this background stuff, and prior to version 2.11, this always appended Big to the filename.

As of version 2.11, ListItem.Icon just gives you the actual name - no more Big.

Cheers,
Jonathan
