I'm really liking the new Panel View in Alaska since it shows the synopsis right there along with the poster, etc (very "wife friendly"). However I would like to make a suggestion. It would be nice to make the poster larger when moving over the panel?

Thanks

Would like to have that option too.

I like it the way it is - maybe this should just be an optional MOD?

Same. Funny how poster art + synopsis on the same screen seem to be the wife favorite.

I would prefer if it was the poster wrap (not landscape) and adding the synopsis to that, but realize screen space is limited. Making the highlighted one 'pop' a bit more would be nice.

It might be nice to have an option to change the number of posters shown in teh panel view.. It is currently 3 high maybe have an option to make it... 2, 3 or 4 high and width according to how ever many will fit to scale

If I understand correctly, do the following (!!!remember to backup your files!!!)

replace this code (line 4-26) in Viewtype_Panel.xml

Code:

<control type="panel" id="56">
            <viewtype label="40287">icon</viewtype>
            <animation effect="slide" start="0,0" end="0,5" time="200" condition="!system.getbool(lookandfeel.enablerssfeeds) | Skin.HasSetting(RSS_only_on_home) + !Window.IsActive(home) + !Window.IsVisible(2006)">Conditional</animation>
            <posx>490</posx>
            <posy>105</posy>
            <width>720</width>
            <height>480</height>
            <scrolltime>200</scrolltime>
            <orientation>vertical</orientation>
            <onup>56</onup>
            <ondown>56</ondown>
            <onleft>7000</onleft>
            <onright>61</onright>
            <pagecontrol>61</pagecontrol>
            <preloaditems>2</preloaditems>
            <include>Animation_ZoomInZoomOut</include>
            <include>Animation_ZoomedByMenu</include>
            <include>Animation_HiddenByMusicInfo</include>
            <include>Animation_HiddenByInfo</include>
            <visible>Container.Content(albums) | Container.Content(movies) | Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(seasons)</visible>
            <include condition="Window.IsActive(502)">SquarePanel</include>
            <include condition="Window.IsActive(25)">TallPanel</include>
        </control>

with this code:

Code:

<control type="wraplist" id="56">
        <viewtype label="40287">icon</viewtype>
            <animation effect="slide" start="0,0" end="0,5" time="200" condition="!system.getbool(lookandfeel.enablerssfeeds) | Skin.HasSetting(RSS_only_on_home) + !Window.IsActive(home) + !Window.IsVisible(2006)">Conditional</animation>
            <posx>480</posx>
            <posy>66</posy>
            <height>596</height>
            <width>1320</width>
            <onleft>57</onleft>
            <onright>57</onright>
            <onup>7000</onup>
            <ondown>7777</ondown>
            <viewtype label="40283">list</viewtype>
            <orientation>horizontal</orientation>
            <focusposition>0</focusposition>
            <scrolltime>200</scrolltime>
            <preloaditems>2</preloaditems>
            <include>Animation_ZoomInZoomOut</include>
            <include>Animation_ZoomedByMenu</include>
            <visible>Container.Content(movies) | Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(Genres) | Window.IsVisible(28) | !IsEmpty(Container.PluginName)</visible>
            <include>PosterView</include>
        </control>

Nice view! You may also want to comment out the control group which starts at line 67, this will remove the duplicate movie title above the plot area. ^_^

Cheers !

I've uploaded my two modded files over here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?djj1jmnxxuj The poster size has been tweeked as well as the info pane view corrected...


Kudos to the great team behind Alaska. I'm sure they can make this function a gazillion times better!

A recent update changed Viewtype_Panel.xml slightly and this only half works.
Be sure if you update you keep a backup of the old version. :p

Ah well, it was bound to happen!

[gekados]

Made one for tvseries, a little bit in between poster size and small thumbs..
