[MOD] Launcher Panels Views [WIP]

Love your mod. I have been playing around with it for a while and tried to update it as you have gone along.

Only one problem, i prefer using the night skin. how much of a hassle is it to change your mod to work on night.

It would be sweet if launcher came standard with xbmc but it seems like development of the project down to a few single coders who have the expertise.

but keep up the great work. you deserve so much credit for the effort you have put in.

This is the 7th version of my MOD for the Alaska Revisted theme to use with my last Launcher Addon version (1.12). This is only a bug fix version. Nothing new.

Installation:
1. First, replace the /addons/skin.alaska.revisited/720p/Viewtype_Panel.xml by this one: http://pastebin.com/pV0KP59s
2. Next, add the following line at the end of /addons/skin.alaska.revisited/language/English/strings.xml before </strings>.

Thanks for this, takes alot of time to get games setup properly with covers/fanart/info all done one by one, but looks excellent when done, only problem i'm having is the genre isnt showing on mine along with the publisher/year next to the name of the title. Like so;



It might be totally easy for me to fix, but im pretty new to the whole thing, so not too sure

Could you post here the corresponding launchers.xml file? Are you also sure that the MOD is still active? Because if Alaska.Revisted has been automatically updated, the MOD has been erased and you will have to reinstall it.

Ah ok, I noticed your latest update says its for version 1.7.5, im on the latest 1.7.7 on revisited which is probably causing the problems (it would be with Viewtype_Panel.xml i think since its the only thing which i havent been able to change without it messing up the view types).

Excellent stuff so far though, i noticed you discussing possibly being able to get info for games all at once which would definitely be alot better too, the only other thing it would need to be near perfect is a way of scraping boxart, but there really isnt a decent source for artwork to do that sadly.

As an added help I have added a tutorial for adding games etc using your launcher mods...

Thanks Marjanovich !!!

After installing your v1.13 plugin I only have 2 viewtypes available, "List" and "Files"

Where are you guys getting boxart + fanart touse for this mod?

It is not problem related to the plugin but to the skin. Surely the Alaska.Revisited theme that have been updated. If so, you have to reinstall the Launcher Panel Views MOD
