Quick fix for bugs appearing after upload

Update v3.0.6 uploaded to repo with quite a few major changes underneath the skin. Again it would be a good idea to first uninstall the previous version before reinstalling this one.
The English language file has been redone to bring all the string id's to within the numbers reserved by XBMC for skins and as a result all other languages have been deleted.
A couple of views have been deleted, 3DCoverView as it was sluggish and unresponsive also MusicWall which had been included by mistake and still needed a lot of work to be done.
The skin settings window has been rearranged to try and make more sense of the options which affect other options. A scrpts section has been added to skin settings with the ability to bulk download logos & TVTunes.
The custom menu options has been recoded and users will have to redo their menus (Sorry) However the options for submenus have returned. Also a bunch of submenus have been added to the home menu.
A few of the movie views have been worked on, still trying to move to a theme.
Cinema Experience has been integrated onto the home screen, but to be honest I'm having a lot of problems with it on Eden.
A lot of other small changes and tweaks include the default cd image and a few of the settings that I'm tired of resetting everytime I update while checking this skin.

Have fun and please explore the skin. As always let me know of any bugs (Might be a few from the language file change)

Found small bug - if Movie linked to TVSeries & viewed in TVShows under MediaInfo 2 then dvdcase not showing for the movie. Fixed for next update.

Mudislander Wrote:@sjobbels Unfortunately that would require a major hack of the home screen. It was the first thing I did & still had a lot to learn. Therefore all I did was change the density of the actual images in photoshop. Recently I had the idea to have a setting to change the transparency levels but stopped when I got to the home screen.

If you really want to, all I could suggest is adding new homeblade*.png images to the media folder, renaming them to something like myhomblade*.png & then changing every reference in home.xml to call your images. (Every skin update would overwrite your changes).

This would be a lot of work to get them to look right as they interact a bit when you go up and down the menu.

Content panels etc are controlled by <colordiffuse>AAFFFFFF</colordiffuse> changing the value AAFFFFFF will change the look.

I haven't done much to the music section yet, but will get there once I'm happy with the movie views

Thanks for adding the option to change between the homeblades. Now it's my default skin! Are you planning to add the TV guide as well?
Great Skin!!

Thought you might notice that. Do you find the TV Guide useful ? I looked at it once and to be honest was not that taken with it as I did not agree with the dates shown. I'll have another look though.

You previously mentioned different music views, if you have a screenshot of what you're looking for I'll give them a shot.

Update v3.0.7 - Released update fixed small bug, added wide view to videos and recoded Childrens View.

It's useful, but it's not working at the moment under eden. If you don't use it, don't take the effort.

For the music section I like the thumbnail view, but with the icons a bit bigger.

This view of the "Night" skin is also nice (without the pink shadow)


For the now playing view I prefer the simplicity of Shade:

Those of you who like to run the latest versions of XBMC will have to alter the file addon.xml in the folder -addons/skin.convergence

Paste the following over the contents of the file ( If you cannot see any text while running this skin )

Also noticed small bug in the movies submenu -cursor will not scroll at end of list. To be fixed on next update

Uploaded new version, a lot of stuff not inished off properly but found a major bug in last version - If you had no music lib, then in this skin you could not create one Anyway works on my system & hopefully fixes more bugs than it creates.

Redid home screen, which may have a marmite effect over the actions of the selections. Started some work on Artist logos (Music Viz only a.t.m) Also started using extrafanart in various places plus a couple of other ideas here & there.

Started support for Machine-Sanctum's Artwork Downloader and ronie's watchlist script which should auto download with this update

Great work man! Just love this skin. Right now convergence is my default skin and am loving it! As a token of gratitude for your great work, we featured an article in our blog describing in brief how awesome Convergence is
