[MOD] Touch! My selfmade skin for touchscreen displays - Mod based on PM3

Eternity_rules Wrote:I am soo pleased to have found this excelent topic on the forum. Recently I bought a touchscreen and found it not to be great with XBMC. So, this seems something that might solve my problem.

I downloaded the latest beta, but have a silly question.... how do I install this on my PC that is running a recent XBMC??

Download and unzip into your "../xbmc/skin" folder
Then go to settings and change the skin to use this one

Hey,

Can someone tell me where this visiualization comes from:


Greetings

A-HA, found my answer, its in the xbmc-r26540-trunk.exe version!

OK, I fixed the buttons either side of the scroll bar. Still playing with the skin, mostly the weathe.com plugin at the moment.

VH - you still around?

Hello there!

Yes i´am here, but i have no update today - i still use the confluence skin in this moment and my projekt with the touchscreen-skin will be paused. i have no time in this moment for this projekt. But i will look to make answer some questions or make little updates for you!

my big dream is to make cunfluence fully touch screen compatible - but ...... time time time.....

If you are planning to make an update at some point, the LastFM button seems to be stuck with control buttons on the bottom as opposed to the far left.

Hey VH,

Glad to see that you are still around, and completely understand that you are busy..

The only fault I have with the Skin is the disappearing music control buttons... ( I mentioned earlier, they disappear frequently) If I place my finger in the position of the pause button the music pauses..... so the functionality is there but they buttons are not displayed.... this is the same for music and videos...

The volume buttons always remain......the only way I can get the control buttons back is to switch the to standard PM3 skin and then back to yours....

Where in the code should i take a look for this bug... I am a bit lost I admit....


Thanks !!

I had similar problems until I deleted the touch skin folder and reinstalled the latest version. i.e. when I unzipped over top previously it kept some of the functionality of the previous versions, and broke some stuff, guessing b/c there are new file names, etc. so it left some old files in the skin folder.

Already have that covered... I always unzip the latest version into a new folder, I never overwrite previous versions...

Thanks,

Adam
