Addon Compliance Nearly Complete
Now that Team XBMC has published some specifications for skins in the new addons system, I've gone ahead and begun updating my modification to be fully compliant. Currently all I have left is to fix a few bugs in the DialogAddonSettings.xml file and everything should be good to go.
I will try to have another release ready by weeks end (sooner if everything goes according to plan ).
This release is considered UNSTABLE. I test locally using the noted release of XBMC. This release will not work with pre-addon build of XBMC as there have been a number of changes in the way skins work. No I will not port this back to previous versions!
With that out of the way, I'm open to comments and criticisms as long as they are constructive and have substantial evidence. This mod was started because I liked certain features from other skins and wanted to implement them in the skin that I felt had the best base.
Addons support is complete for now, I've done just about everything possible to support them in their current state, now as long as there aren't any major changes to be made skin wise we should be good for a release.
INSTALL NOTES:
Skins/Addons/Scripts now all go in the 'addons' directory of the XBMC Profile Directory.
