Changes to skinning engine for Eden (and beyond)

bmcclure937 · 2011-02-21 21:06

Although I am not a skinner... I would love to see something on the wiki documenting the different "views" available. This is highly useful when creating keymap.xml/remote.xml files for IR remotes.

You need to know the different views in order to tweak the remote functionality and fine tune it to perform as desired. Big Grin

Views are skin specific though.

You mean windows, not views - these are available already in the skinning section, though it may be out of date.

@igotdvds: I've commented in the threads and/or added to the above list.

Created a Ticket for ListItem.Property(Artist_Description) and ListItem.Property(Album_Description) available on Song level.

Also to comment on 1.7 Add skin.art addons to take care of studio icons and weather fanart packs (and perhaps other background packs?):

We're you meaning just regular Movie/TV background packs or something more specific like Genre Images and Genre Fanart type packs?

Anything familiar?

@mcborzu: You mean song level, right? I'm now no longer confused! (Artist level showing album stuff??)

I'll open a thread about artwork packs in a bit.

Album images available for a highlighted artist wouldnt be a bad addition.

We could create views based around browsing artists and being able to see all albums by that artist. Big Grin

Yes Song level, sorry on the typo Smile
