[MOD] Rapier Qualar Mod

Sounds like this will be near perfection. DLing now.

Hi,

this is my absolute favourite skin right now, thanks a lot for modding it to near perfection.
If it is ok to add some feature requests, here are mine:
Home Window:
* Videos
- Would it be possible for you to to change the way the sub menu works? For me, the best option would be to go to File mode when pressing Enter/OnClick, and press Up to show the sub menu. Maybe a setting in the skin would be good to set the default action on Enter/OnClick?
* Music
- Is it possible for you to add a similar sub menu as for Videos, where a user can choose between Library mode and File mode. Otherwise, it is impossible to see the music if the user hasn't added the collection to the library using another skin first.
* Movies/TV Show
- A similar sub menu as for Videos would be great here too, where the user can choose between Recently added movies and other stuff.

Thanks!

1. I had a conversation with a colleague at work about whether to open the sub menu on click or on up. I was going to do it exactly the way you mentioned. The only reason I didn't was i thought a lot of users would never even realise the sub menu existed if it was on up. I will give it some more thought.


2. Music - I will certainly do that for you. If I can figure out how to get <onup> to work in the wraplist that is used to display the home items. How does this sound.

On click loads the Library by Artist

On Up gives the following sub menu.

Artist Song Genre RecentlyAdded FileMode

3. Movies, TVShows if you let me know exactly how you would want this to act I will get to work

Can anyone help with the above request. I am trying to get the submenus to show <onup> instead of <onclick> but it doesnt seem to work Just wondering if you can use <onup> on individual elements of a wraplist.

After you do that you'll have find a way to hide the submenu the home menu is transparent.

Sorry I don't follow you?

How about if you use conditional visibility of the sub menu control group based on which wraplist id is selected? That way each time you press up it will evaluate which list item you are on and show only the part of the control group that corresponds to that list item.

Currently each sub menu has a different window ID and is stored in its own XML. Wannabegt4 could you have a look and see if you can advise. 2 brains are better than 1 :-)

Wannabegt4 - Just thinking about your idea. I take it you mean put all sub menus in the same window ID/xml. Then just display the code relevant to the menu selected.

I'm currently at work on an ancient emachine with integrated graphics. Needless to say xbmc isn't playing well. I'll keep trying to make it work but if I can't I'll look at it tonight at home. I'll look at the xml though.
