Transparency! - v2.01

speed32219 · 2009-11-07 16:20

I lost my settings button from the main OSD. I was playing around changing the look of the buttons on the main OSD and had it just right, then I decided so no one would change the look and feel, I selected from within the settings OSD not to display settings. Well everyhting works great including I now can not get into settings to change skin types.

How do you get setting back on the main OSD if you highlighted the do not show in the settings OSD sub menu? Is there a special key sequence, that would be cool, could hide it from the kids.

not sure what you mean by 'main OSD' ?
i assume the home menu ?

if you removed it from the home menu (and ignored the "Don't remove unless you are really sure!!!" warning)
than the only way to get it back is to first quit xbmc, next edit guisettings.xml in the userdata folder.
change:

Code:

<setting type="bool" name="Transparency!.settingsinhome">true</setting>

to:

Code:

<setting type="bool" name="Transparency!.settingsinhome">false</setting>

now you can start xbmc again and the settings button will re-appear.

if you ever want to remove the settings button from the home menu, it's best to add it to the shutdown menu first, so you can access settings from the shutdown menu.

Settings > Skin Settings > Shutdown

Hello.

I have a little question: Is it possible to remove or disable the top bar in Home?

Sorry, my english is very, very bad.

Yep, that is exactly what I meant, the Home Directory. Thank you for the work around and I will try what you suggested. And, ("Don't remove unless you are really sure!!!" warning) what warning? Big Grin

only by editing Home.xml.
you'll have to remove this code:

Code:

<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(HateTransparency)">T-Header1</include>

<control type="image">

    <posx>0</posx>

    <posy>0</posy>

    <width>1280</width>

    <height>74</height>

    <texture>Header.png</texture>

</control>

<control type="image">

    <posx>5</posx>

    <posy>2</posy>

    <width>400</width>

    <height>50</height>

    <texture>xbmc-logo.png</texture>

    <include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>

</control>

<control type="label">

    <description>date label</description>

    <posx>12r</posx>

    <posy>0</posy>

    <width>500</width>

    <height>35</height>

    <align>right</align>

    <aligny>center</aligny>

    <font>font-20</font>

    <textcolor>white</textcolor>

    <label>$INFO[System.Date]</label>

    <include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>

</control>

well, you're not the first one who removed settings and couldn't get it back,
so yes i added a warning. maybe it should put it in CAPITALS instead! ;-)

Hi ronie,

I know its not necessarily skin-related, but which svn is the best to use with your incredible skin?

Currently I use 22516. All newer builds I've tried having troubles with AC3/DTS speaker output.

Best Regards

that's just fine.

the next release of Transparency! will require xbmc 9.11 though.

if you also have issues with the current alpha release of xbmc, the best thing to do is post a bug report in the appropriate forum for your platform.

Is there a way to hide the movie info that appears in the center of the screen for the slide view? Optimally a toggle to show/hide, but if I could disable it in the xml that would work too.

I'm just using a mouse right now so maybe one of the remote buttons does that. Thanks.
