Almost done. Big Grin

Just need to:
4) Find and invert the filter (?) used on the out-of-focus poster, banners...

I thought it was "postermatte.png" but it doesn't seem to be. Frown

It's a combination of that and the <colordiffuse>PosterDiffuse</colordiffuse> tags in the other image controls.

Thanks, Hitcher, I'll check it out. Nod

I'm kinda struggling with the "Global_Filter" settings now, they are different from the ones included in the skin download.

If you have the time would you mind explaining the functions of the 3 filters(filter.png, filter_2.png and filter_3.png)?
I'd like for the detailed view (the one with the actors list, movie info, etc etc) to be darker than the "Posters" view.

Filter.png is used for the Settings screen and when you bring up a context menu
Filter2.png is the global filter used pretty much everywhere else
Filter3.png is used solely for Pictures to allow them to be more visible than the standard fanart

I'm also planning on revamping the colour XML to use only 4 basic font colours to make modding even quicker and easier.

Thanks for the info. Smile

Sounds like a good idea. Nod

Well, I've made the "postermatte.png" black, changed the value of "<color name="PosterDiffuse">" to "CC000000" but all it does is make the posters black, including the one in focus. Sad

If I revert "postermatte.png" to white and change the value of "<color name="PosterDiffuse">" to "CCFFFFFF", it works and doesn't affect the poster in focus.

Unless I'm mistaken, "CC" represents the level of transparency and "FFFFFF" the colour to be made transparent.
Why doesn't it work with a black image with a value of "CC000000" then? Confused

I can see what the problem is now - I didn't add a diffuse colour control to the non-focused matte textures.
Fixed for next update and available now in GoogleCode.
