QUOTE:From what I can see Competes2win has made a new window especially for emulators (very nice by the way) and put a link to that window on his own skin's homescreen. That's easy enough to achieve .

Then couldn't you just add the emulators tab and leave the rest to us? I have Competes2win xpr & xml for the emulators, so I can add or subtract whatever I want. Its no differen't than the custom xml's you have done for me. Except these will have to be done by me(with a little help from competes2win). I could also upload the xpr & xml for others here as well. Please reconsider this bro. sad.gif

Keep in mind we have to consider things for the majority, not just for some individuals. There's a decent size to-do list currently in place, and i don't exactly see that as a big priority, although i would like to eventually have it added in time. I also don't play games much either like Sharpe, but once in a while i do throw on and play some Forza, Burnout(last one released), or a different emulators. I do like the emu's section stuff from the picture's i've seen, and would be up and willing to do some artwork to keep things to the skin's theme.

Well I'm still thinking about the emulator window - /will probably do something with it.

In the meantime I've rejigged the FanArt view partly based on a very nice Meedio skin I saw recently.

Wow, that fanart style looks so much more fitting. Nice touch!!! I can whip something up to help with artwork for the emu section if you need me to, if do decide to ad d it. It would be kind of cool.

Yeah an emulator tab would be nice, but so would a music video section as well. I don't know if anyone else here feels the same way, but xbmc feels so uncomplete without the other tabs. Plus it sucks how each section doesn't open directly into the source folder like Sharpe has it for movies & TV. I was hoping Sharpe could tweak things to make pictures actually open into pictures, and music actually open into the music folder(like the movies do). This would really complete things here. Alot of people I mod boxes for agree strongly.
For the newbie things can be a little confusing with all the menus and sub menus. But not if things were worked out like above. I hope Sharpe will consider the above improvements, I know he has alot on his plate already and has done a fantastic job. But my hat goes off to Copetes2win for actually doing most of the above on his mod skin. Competes2win you rock bro rolleyes.gif

Hey sharpe, nice fanart view I just tried it out now that the new t3ch is out... However, Wouldn't red text go better with your skin than that mustard color? just my thoughts. Thanks.

Yeah you're right - it's been altered to fit better with the other red stuff.

Cheers

why are you trying to find set content? are your shows not yet scanned to the library? I don't know why you wouldn't see it. it's always there for me. You don't have to 'set content' on the tv show section, but on the tvshow directory themselves, try that... for example Videos/tv/"Lost"/season1/lost.s01e01 so you should try to set content on the "Lost" and not tv.

Easiest way to use fanart I have found is to just store the pictures locally and then set it through the context menu... which is just in "tv show information" once its scanned to the library.

Hey Sharpe, just letting you know the video OSD for audio and video settings are all blank when using newer svn's then the last recent t3ch build. I can PM you a new build/.xbe for testing if you want me too.
Also, I'm going to add real-time ending time for video's OSD if your cool with that. Heads up. Find it very usefull when i used it last when i added it to the Orb skin back when. Functionality is still there i'm sure.

Cheers - I think that's fixed it - I've just uploaded the changes to the SVN. Thanks for the offer of a new build but it's cool mate, I can make my own builds now smile.gif

Yeah just go right ahead with your ideas.

Hola Sharpe! Just wanted to say thanks for the new tinkering in 'fan art' view. I love the new pop up thumbnail in the center of the screen. Solves the problem of the thumbs being too small perfectly. You're constant work on this skin keeps it firmly placed as my favorite xbmc skin.

Now stop making me procrastinate, I've got a thesis to finish damn you! jester.gif

Hey thanks for that Leontes /appreciate the kind words.

I've slightly altered the placement of the popup thumbnail as in the piccy below (it's on about a 3 second delay).

Good luck with the thesis mate.

Sharpe, I've just tried using this skin on my HTPC and everything works except the icons for CDs and Videos which all appear stretched. I assume it's because my output resolution is 1028x768 but I have set the aspect ratio to 1.333 and all my movies playback at the right ratio.
