Thanks that's what I wanted to hear (read).

EDit: I almost forgot, could you maybe take a look at the problem I described few posts earlier? http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=901...stcount=49 & http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=901...stcount=51. Thanks

2 Screens to make it clearer... this is how it looks with visible conditions and this how it's with skin variables.

hey, just pushed fix (http://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/70eda...3a43fda556) - it will be in next nightly or in this win32 build http://michal.mexeo.pl/xbmc/skin_vars/XB...596-dx.exe (it's git master). I'd appreciate if You would use it and look if everything works as I shuffled skin vars code quite a bit to fix a problem.

Will do tomorrow.

@pieh: I have a request. It's currently possible to use $INFO[] on <colordiffuse>. But variables don't work. What does work is the following:

Code:

<variable name="FlagDiffuseVar">
    <value condition="Control.IsVisible(512)">FFe1e1e1</value>
    <value>floor</value>
  </variable>

Code:

<control type="label" id="8890">
      <include>HiddenObject</include>
      <label>$VAR[FlagDiffuseVar]</label>
    </control>

Code:

<include name="AudioFlagsVars">
    <width>90</width>
    <height>60</height>
    <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
    <colordiffuse>$INFO[Control.GetLabel(8890)]</colordiffuse>
    <fadetime>IconCrossfadeTime2</fadetime>
    <animation effect="fade" time="250">VisibleChange</animation>
  </include>

This is of course a bit of a hack, so I was wondering if you can make variables also available in colordiffuse tag?
I'm hoping it's an easy fix because info is already working in the tag

Just tested and it works, thanks for the fix pieh.

Great, thx!

initially <height> <width> <posx> <posy> and other numeric "properties" of controls are out of luck (we don't have numeric control properties hooked to infomanager yet). But this is defenitely something I will pursue in next steps

I would not mind using $NUM[foo] if that would allow for numeric values in variables as well.

Time to bump an old thread and 12 months on is the "next steps" worked on at all because I just hit this road block
