some requests

zombien Wrote:Hi, me again

Loving the theme and only using this one now.

However, found some small tweaks that would make it perfect for my use:

1. In the home-screen; I only have Videos, TV-Shows and Settings displayed. Would it be possible to only have those 3 boxes displayed and not having them go on a loop? Will post screen and describe if needed.

2. When using the List function the left box takes a lot of space for things I dont need. I know the plot of my shows and I dont need that little poster. Would much rather see more of the fan art. Would it be possible to make a feature that removes this entire box? Displayed in the screen below. I know I could use the fanart layout, but that defeats the purpose of my requests stated in previous posts.

I'm thinking in lines of this, but only having the show-list box on the left. I want it where it was originally on the right side, but maybe not so wide as it is now?:

If this would only be possible as a static feature and not one you could turn on and off I would donate some $ to Backrow to have this fixed and sent to me.

This was a lot of "demands", so I'm not expecting to get everything done obviously, but if possible it would be great and I would happily make a donation

Regards

edit: I only want it done for this screen. When you go into a show the setup is fine as it is.

Ok here's a little mod which does what you've asked: TV shows listed on the right with no extra info or icons and the Home screen wraplist converted to a fixed list. Just extract the files into the corresponding skin folders.

No need to make a donation to Backrow but if you're feeling generous this seems a very good cause Megan's Quest

Hi,

thanks for a quick respons and mod.

The homescreen is what I wanted! However, no change in the tv show department. The left box with plot and poster is still there. (I'm using the List-view, if that wasnt mentioned).

I will def make a donation to that cause.

Cheers, thanks

Nice one - if you copy over the 2 xmls in the mod to the PAL16x9 in the skin the new TV Show view "Mini List" should be there - cycle through the views and see if you can find it.

sweet, found it now. Excellent. Would it be possible to get the quick-scrollbar onto this one? Only thing thats missing now to make it perfect Sorry for all the requests

Also, now the checked mark at watched episodes has gone away. I have the "Watched Overlay Switch" button checked, so it happend after I extracted the new files

Okay I've added the scrollbar and updated the download link.

The watched episodes check mark is working fine here - although I did recently change it's behaviour to be "on" by default. Could be if you've just updated the skin it's got mixed up. Try unchecking it. Pressing "skin reset" in options would sort it - but you would have to re set up any custom shotcuts or skin settings you'd put in place.

great, got everything to work now. thanks so much

Hi!

Thanks for a great skin!

I have two question.

1. Why dose's library mode have to be enabled to use the wall view? I would like to use it for other files than my movies.

2. When I select a new item on the home screen (going from say tv-shows to movies) the fade between background seems to go from "tv-shows background" to "black" to "movies background". Is there a way to change that?

Thanks again for a really nice skin!

Hello cledus - thanks and glad you like the skin.

Ok taking your questions in order:

1. Where would you want to use the wall view? - Oh and do you mean the big full screen video library wall view?

2. I don't see that problem here - for me the backgrounds change pretty quick with no obvious transition. Are you using the most up to date version of the skin?

Man you are fast!

I updated the skin and the fading works great!

My kids have their movies in one folder where I put the thumbs my self. I have my own movies in one folder which get all thumbs and art from the web.

When my kids want to watch a movie they already know what they want to watch so a wall view is much easier to find the movie they want to watch.

I'm not sure if I'm making any sense put I hope so.

Thanks for your quick response!
