[MOD] Dark Blue & Transaparent Icons

ventech is another user who cleaned up some labels so they translate better and some code that I used ff67ffff to mainblue so it's easier for modders to swap colors globally. You know the colors/default.xml where you can set color themes..

As for default images I never gave too much thought thinking people usually just set there own. I do like to do things differently and I like how these set of images give Night a distinct personality rather than just boring LCD screen/Puzzle piece type images...

I been playing with it for a while and just love that white glow! Interested in what else develops and what I can incorporate...

so I could add this to /addons/skin.mod.night and swap between the two ?

It was a user, I was googling for a program.

I found one of that codes that was left I think. It is in Includes.xml

Backgrounds kinda the same I think and was going for.

I'm glad it turn out to be something usefull



@ Flomaster

Don't think so, just tried and it doesn't appear to choose inside of Xbmc. For that is that I made a *xbt, that was the best solution i could think off for switching back, if you know some other way ill be glad to give it a try, or if you make it work with to installs.

good one!

What i only really don´t like from Night is the Jukebox... aber das ist geschmack sachen!

@ Flomaster

I learn how to make 2 installations, you make the installation in another folder, lets say - /addons/skin.night.darkblue -. Then you have to go to the addon.xml and change:


id="skin.night" to id="skin.night.darkblue" (the same name as the folder)

you can also change the name so you can differentiate one from another lets say name="Night" to name="Night DarkBlue"



I will add one modified addon.xml and update the installation guide when I get home, much simpler this way, just to make another installation.




@ emal011

The jukebox its an interesting concept, i have some ideas, but for that i need to learn much more coding and stuff, maybe more ahead im capable to make a complete makeover.

The compressed files links are not working for me.

In a couple of hours ill take a look at that.

Thanks!!

Links corrected.

Installation method improved, guide updated.
