[MOD] Kiosk Mode

Thanks. This is a great little mod.

Like a previous poster said, I also had to modify "MyVideo.xml". Without that, just the videos section wasn't included, only Movies and TV Shows seemed to be affected by "MyVideoNav.xml". I also had to modify "MyMusicSongs.xml" for that option to work within the Music section. Just an FYI for anybody else having issues.

Yep, modify MyMusicNav.xml
<window id="502">
<defaultcontrol always="true">50</defaultcontrol>
<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
<views>50,500,550,509,506,511,512,513</views>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(kiosk)</visible>
<controls

This feature is in the next release of influence (coming soon )

Oh nice! Just an FYI to you, though, or anybody else doing this mod in the meantime...I noticed after the fact that it knocked out the mouse in some of these pages. *only* under the Music and Video screens I could move the mouse but it wouldn't highlight anything or let me click anything. I found the best location to place that line where it doesn't affect the mouse is by searching for a line that says "<include>SideBladeLeft</include>" and placing "<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(kiosk)</visible>" directly below it. For example, in MyVideoNav.xml it would be:

....
<texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
<visible>true</visible>
</control>
<include>SideBladeLeft</include>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(kiosk)</visible>
<control type="image">
<description>LOGO</description>
<posx>-230</posx>
....

I'm not a guru so I don't know why it only affected the mouse in Music (MyMusicSongs.XML) and Videos (MyVideo.xml), but I made that change in line location across the board just for consistency.

So in addition to adding the actual option in "custom_SkinSetting_1111.xml", these are the files I modified:

MyMusicNav.xml
MyMusicSongs.xml
MyVideoNav.xml
MyPics.xml
MyVideo.xml

Hope that helps.

Nice tips, be useful for my skin

Could you implement this for the Ellipsis skin? Thanks!
