Shade: Official Release Thread

I've got it displaying okay now, not sure what i was doing wrong before! Still getting script errors on the recently added control though, I've turned it off for now. Quite happy with the custom backgrounds, looking slicker than Aeon IMO

Any hope to see this soon in the add-on repo? Definitely love to try it out and the add-on repo is truly convenient!!!

Make sure you have the most recent version of the recentlyadded script. And if its linux make sure its capitalized correctly.

I believe I have everything except an open source font. This is the issue right now.

Where is it located, is it not part of the skin?

There should be a folder called script.recentlyadded in your addons folder. Copy its contents into the scripts folder within skin.shade. See if that works, if it does, I will rework the structure for 1.0.6.

Just wanted to say this is by far my favorite skin on XBMC. Great job and keep up the good work mate!

Thanks! The compliments make me want to work on it to make it better.

Any chance to add it to the repo without a font or one, which is not ideal. Then, seperatelty I could buy the appropriate/best one and replace it manually?

Major advantage of the repo is automated update (plus broader distribution of the skin).

Yes, we will have to track down the best "option" that is free then we are going to add it. I hope to do this within the next week or two.

Just to say thanks for a beautiful Skin - this has now replace Aeon my systems.

A little help needed

1. What is the point of the home icon in the menus and can it be deleted.

2. I would like to remove the options button which alters the appearance of the library. I want this to be used by people who don't use XBMC and I'm keen that they won't press buttons that will bring up options and settings.

Thanks in advance.
