An Unleashx User's Manual, Yes, I know there already is one.. Options

[yourwishismine]

I am building/reformating the current UnleashX user's manual.. I'm doing it for my own uses, but I thougt I would share it here and see if perhaps someone else can make some use of it. The 1st 2 portions of this are completed. The final portion will be the Skin.XML if there is enough interest.


INTRODUCTION:
UnleashX is an XBOX Application/Game launcher, with a few other features
thrown in. UnleashX was designed with safety in mind.
Features that could potentially render your XBOX useless were
intentionally left out, except for the HD formatting. This dash has
been tested on V1.0, V1.1 and V1.4 XBOXes with X2 4976.02/4977/4979,
EvoX D6/M7 BIOS. UnleashX has the basic features of a dashboard.
It can automatically search your Hard Drive or DVD for
applications/games and build the menu from the found default.xbe files,
displayed using the icon embedded within the xbe file.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT FEATURES:
1) Password Protection - for every item. With UnleashX, you can set a
password for each menu, submenu, individual item, as
well as a system password with maximum number of tries (only for
system password. When the maximum is reached, the XBOX
will automatically shutdown).

2) Skining Support - skinning is very flexible, but not overly
complicated, live skin switching allows you to change skins
without having to restart your XBOX, skins may and even should
be zipped and put in their own subfolders.

3) Newsfeed Support - automatically retrieves information from
specified websites (as long as your XBOX is internet connected)

4) Action Command / Batch Support - like DOS batch commands, you
can perform a lot of different functions inside UnleashX through
the use of Action commands, which can be set to be run in batch
mode (batch mode processes a series of commands in sequence,
until either a break point or the end of the batch is reached.)

5) File Manager (built in) - Copy/Move/Delete/QuickDVDCopy, support
for copy and resume so you don’t start from the beginning if an
error occurs.

6) Game/DVD Movie/CD/Data Disc Detection with the option to
autolaunch them using your favorite media player/app.
(note: after inserting the disc, you may stop the autolaunch by
pressing any the left or right trigger)

7) Built in virtual keyboard.

8) Support for Memory Unit thru File manager and FTP server. You can
browse and transfer files between your XBOX hard disk and memory
unit.

9) Image Viewer via the File Manager - supports:
bmp, jpg, xbx and xpr

10) Zip/Unzip/Unrar(.rar v2.0 format only) files from your xbox.
Supports extracting from XIP files (except xm files). Now you can
check the contents of the xip files that came with the XBOX
without leaving it.

11) Video Support (WMV and XMV only) - Just select your movies from
the file manager and watch. Videos can be used in skins.
For an automatic preview video detection, name your video
“preview.xmv” or “preview.wmv” and put it in the game/app folder
(note: for preview videos to work, the skin must support it).

12) Custom Music Path - If you have WMA’s on your XBOX, aside from
those ripped using MS Dash, you can tell UnleashX the directory
to search and it will search the directory specified and one
subdirectory down (if there is a subdirectory)

13) Skin Previews - while in the skin selection screen, if the skin
has a screenshot saved as "preview.jpg" in either the ZIPPED
skin file or the skin's sub-directory UnleashX will show you a
preview of the skin, without having to apply the skin.
(note: Skin Preview is off by default, press the White button to
toggle Skin Preview ON/OFF)

14) Auto/Manual clock settings. You can set it to manual so UnleashX
will ask you for the date and time when it becomes invalid
(like when the XBOX has been unpluged for too long), otherwise
UnleashX will set it Nov 15, 2003.

15) Sound Effects/Sound Track Support - uses the internal
MS Dashboard Sounds (if present, it still runs without them)
and uses the soundtracks on the XBOX for background music.

16) Dash Configuable - almost everything, except for the menus, can
be configured from within UnleashX itself

17) Partition Formatting.

18) Video Support (WMV and XMV only). You can now watch those
cutscenes without playing the game. Just select your movies
from the file manager and watch. See skinning overview to learn
how to use video on your skins. For an automatic preview video
detection, name your video “preview.xmv” or “preview.wmv” and
drop them in the game folder.

19) Custom Music Path. If you have WMA’s on your XBOX aside from
those ripped using MS Dash, you can tell UnleashX where to look
for them. It will search the path you configure and one folder
down (if there are any subfolders).

20) Skin Preview. Provide a screenshot and save it as “preview.jpg”
to enable screen preview. It’s off by default.

21) FTP Server with PASV and up to 10 clients - You can set the
Username, password, port, max users, and anonymous access.
(note: if multiple users are connect at the same time, they must
all use the same user account, which defaults to
user: xbox, pass: xbox

22) Simple Screen Saver and Auto-Turn off timer.

23) Safe Mode. Some skins crashed UnleashX? Just reboot your XBOX and
select another one without using a boot disk. UnleashX should
bypass it on the next reboot. Same goes true for config.xml.

24) Built In Hard Drive Prep
Booting up with a NEW HD from a CD/DVD disk it will ask for your
permission and requires you to press certain keypad combination
before proceeding. It has enough warnings to prevent accidental
hard drive erasure (after this, it is completely up to you).
After confirming, the dash will format Drives C, E, X, Y and Z.
Then it will ask if you have drive F and if you want to format
it. Unless you skipped formatting drive F, then it will ask if
you have drive G and if you want to format it (it is important
for you to know whether you have drive G or not, as it would
likely crash on some BIOS if you elected to select/format it and
it doesn’t exist).

After it has formatted the new disk, the dash will detect the
presence of D:\CDrive (or D:\CBackup), D:\EDrive (or D:\EBackup),
D:\FDrive (or D:\FBackup), D:\GDrive (or D:\GBackup) and copies
the content to appropriate destinations. If either of the source
for E isn't present, it will create TDATA and UDATA on the said
drive. Further, it will detect for the presence of evoxdash.xbe
on the C and if it isn't there, it will copy default.xbe
into drive c as evoxdash.xbe. For people with older chip, it will
detect xboxdash.xbe and if it couldn't find it, install itself as
default.xbe on drive C.

The UI is kind of rudimentary and may feel one step backward from
EvolutionX, but it works and it's very simple. The backup files
doesn't have to be there as you can copy them later with the
built-in file manager. A few more commands will be added that are
useful to some people (installers).
(Note: Using HD prepare on a new HD won't fire this up as the
drive won't be detected as new. It has to be a brand new, out of
the static bag HD. Of course, you can manually invoke the process
via the action command (Action="PrepareHD") when the new version
comes out.)

The following is under construction yet.

SKINNING OVERVIEW:

Some Skinning Basics:
Always work within the safe area of the screen when defining the placement of items in your skin.xml file.
Leave 40 pixels on each side of the screen, and 30 pixels on top and bottom of the screen.
All elements within this area will be displayed without being cut off.
UnleashX also supports widescreen. If you don't want your image to appear to stretched, design a separate image for
standard and widescreen format.

Elements (InfoText, Shapes or Images), are drawn in the following order:
The rotating globe (including the fog), user-provided background, the orb along with the crown/crosshair, gameicon, user-provided custom images, shapes, the infotext, and finally the menu. If the skinner positions 2 elements in the same
position of the screen, then the last entry of the 2 in the SKIN.XML would be the last Element drawn on the screen.

List Of Tags/Notes on skin tags:
Following are a list of the TAGS that you can use in your SKINS, along with a
brief description of each.

Using the below values for your "Source" attributes will include a predefined
text for some of them (i.e.: the IP address automatically appends the word Static or DHCP). If you don't like this behavior, you can still use the tag but enclose it with the "$" character, like Source="$IP$". This tells the skinning engine to retrieve just the value. It's possible to append or prepend the values with any text that you want, say Source="My IP: $IP$", this would display something like "My IP: 192.168.1.100". Note that a Text element can only contain
one value for the source attribute, so the examples following are NOT acceptable:
Source="IP, DNS1" or Source="My IP: $IP$ My DNS: $DNS1"
Also note that when using tag with the "$" to denote a custom text, the tag becomes case sensitive:
While Source="IP", Source="ip", and Source="$IP$" are all valid values, Source="$ip$" is NOT valid.

The structure of these when used, will look similar to:
<Text Left="280" Top="360" Color="0xB7000000" Source="DVDTitle"/>

or for pictures/images
<Image Top="100" Left="200" Width="128" Height="128" Source="GameIcon"/> and/or
<Image Top="134" Left="280" Width="300" Height="215">MyImage.png<Image/>

the following is an 'older way' to display the GameIcon and should probably not be used anymore
<GameIcon Enable="True" Opacity="100">
<Position Top="162" Left="500" Width="76" Height="76" />
</GameIcon>

MORE SKINNING NOTES:
You can draw shapes inside your skin (Type= Rectangle, RoundedBox, or Triangle)

Awesome post. Thanks for your effort! If you were going to add anything, an explanation of the colorscheme variables would be most helpful. Here's the area giving me fits:

<CAPTION_TEXTCOLOR></CAPTION_TEXTCOLOR>
<CAPTION_BACKCOLOR></CAPTION_BACKCOLOR>
<DIALOG_BORDERCOLOR></DIALOG_BORDERCOLOR>
<DIALOG_BACKCOLOR></DIALOG_BACKCOLOR>
<DIALOG_INNER_BORDERCOLOR></DIALOG_INNER_BORDERCOLOR>
<DIALOG_INNER_BACKCOLOR></DIALOG_INNER_BACKCOLOR>
<DIALOG_TEXTCOLOR></DIALOG_TEXTCOLOR>
<DIALOG_DISABLEDTEXT></DIALOG_DISABLEDTEXT>
<OPTION_TEXTCOLOR></OPTION_TEXTCOLOR>
<OPTION_ACTIVETEXTCOLOR></OPTION_ACTIVETEXTCOLOR>
<OPTION_ACTIVEBACKCOLOR></OPTION_ACTIVEBACKCOLOR>

What's the difference between caption_textcolor and dialog_textcolor??? Backcolor vs. Bordercolor??

Thanks again for the great job putting all this together...

Is there a reference to the entire schema, or list of possible XML elements in UnleashX? For instance, I noticed the WinUX skin has alignments of "MiddleLeft" and "MiddleRight" which I have never seen before in another skin.

Several corrections to the manual

In SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT FEATURES section: items 11-13 and 18-20 are the same (almost). Just merge them.

In the GAME PAD CONTROLS (In DASHBOARD) section:
LeftThumbPress + Black = Take screenshot
(You have to press the LeftThumb first)

In GAME PAD CONTROLS (In FILE MANAGER):
RightThumbPress also switches between two panes and single pane view.

Great job!

Thank you, yourwishismine, for this excellent compilation. You have saved me hours of research! Even though there is one out there already, this one is much more simplified and thus much easier to follow.
Thanks again.
