[RELEASE] Alaska (pre-Dharma)
Anyone?

Just stumbled this thread

Will Alaska work with the latest build linked too on there Huh
Reply
Not unless you make the changes needed yourself but Alaska Revisited will work with the very latest builds (and in fact needs them to use all the newer functions).

Ok cheers Hitcher. I assume those changes are way above me so will have a look at Revisited.

Cheers

Alaska will work with the latest SVN release, if you make your own addon.xml file.

A couple of the settings don't map as they did before but if you play around with it, you can use the Default home style and the Icon home style.

If I get ambitious, I might try to start updating the skin to be merge compatable.

Havent a clue how to do that unfortunately....so will have to wait till someone does Rolleyes

Revisited is great but I like the ability to be able to remove certain items from Home 1 view, which I believe you cannot do with revisited

so the "normal" Alaska will not get updated to compatible with new builds? And Revisited still won't support unicode? Sad

mcborzu talked about it in a couple places, but here goes.

You need to rename the Alaska folder to 'skin.Alaska' and then drop it into the addons folder in your user files. ("~/.xbmc" if you're on Linux) You also need to create a file called 'addon.xml' in the skin.Alaska folder. The contents should be:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<addon
id="skin.alaska"
version="Final"
name="alaska"
provider-name="Hitcher">

It's not updated, but it is usable. Some of the settings menus are wonky and don't work correctly, but you can definitely push it into a usable form.

Yes, by using a font editor.

The clue's in the title 'Alaska Revisited'.

So no possibility to launch this skin with Camelot?

Not really, I've been using lots of new skinning code as it's only intended for Dharma.

So this may be a stupid question, But i noticed in the video that your home screen seemed to pull fanart and whatnot as the image for "Movies" and "TV Shows". I just now downloaded Alaska Revisited and am quite unfamiliar with it. My "movies" section still has the auditorium image. Is there a way I can select what Image shows there?
