[Mod] Influence Dharma

bodhi Wrote:That was quick! I was about to report a missing file (Add source dialog) and you've already fixed it in this version! Will try this and let you know.

Also I've been hacking the Movies' MediaListView3 in ViewsVideoLibrary.xml to make it more transparent and Fanart's oriented. Would you accept changes? (I could upload it using mediafire or PM).

Thanks!

Yes I accept changes , of course .

1. When I open file MyVideoNav.xml with with XML Notepad, it reported a syntax error at line 9 pos 63 ("=" is an unexpected token, expected token is ";"). Must be this line?

2. Now playing Music fanart displayed on top of the default background on Home page (default background picture should disappear when music fanart is showing).

3. Switching to and from different video views inside Movies Titles, the focus was sometime lost (did not land on the top ".." or on previously select title). I need to move the mouse pointer back to the ".." or any title to regain focus.

4. In order to remove the gray bottom so that the screen is completely transparent in showing fanart, I manually removed the XML code for the image ContentPanel4.png in MyVideoNav.xml (and it works!). Is there a way to optionally turn it off in the skin?

Code:

<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.TvTunes,backend=True&amploop=False)</onfocus>

Hmm, it seems OK

I don't understand, if you have fanart , the fanart appear, if you don't have fanart default background appear. I'll test it later

May be i'll remove ContentPanel4 definitively.

Thanks, RC2 fixed the focus problem. However, the artist fanart is still displayed on top of Music home background when playing a track and escape to exit all the way to the home page.

Other than that, I've tried various new views, they all work fine!

The music CU lyrics addon works fine, too! but one thing I notice is the artist fanart or other default background does not shown while in playing music in full-screen (pressing tab button). And I'm not using Visualization. Perhaps the CU Lyrics has something to do with that? or is that just the way the full-screen music works? It behave this way whether the lyrics are showing or not. Updated: never mind, I did not enable this in the skin. It works fine showing fanart background now.

This skin is great, you've added all the features that Confluence lacks

Influence is a skin based on Confluence, It includes all its features but have a slightly different approach based on texture transparency enhancement in order to highlight fanarts. The other main feature of this skin is to have fully customizable menus, modifying, deleting or adding some with an intuitive interface. It also carries most of the successfull skin features (logo, clearart, fanart, ...)
