Still don't know which way to go for the homescreen Any opinions? I Think the second one looks better.

i like the first one better

I would go with the first and use the new album section of the second version.

I would go with the first and use the new album section of the second version.

That's what I thought ^^ I just added a skin option to show big or small album panels.

I need some help. What's the best way to let users add their custom playlists to the panel? Is there a special script for this?

[`Black]

No there is no script. Here's an example how you could do it

PHP Code:

# Container item
<item id="1">
    <label fallback="Top 100">$INFO[Skin.String(CustomMusicPlaylist1.Label)]</label>
    <icon>DefaultMusicTop100.png</icon>
    <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(CustomMusicPlaylist1.Icon)]</thumb>
    <onclick condition="Skin.HasSetting(CustomMusicPlaylist1)">ActivateWindow(MusicLibrary,$INFO[Skin.String(CustomMusicPlaylist1.Path)],return)</onclick>
    <onclick condition="!Skin.HasSetting(CustomMusicPlaylist1)">ActivateWindow(MusicLibrary,top100,return)</onclick>
</item>

# Settings buttons
<control type="radiobutton">
    [...]
    <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(CustomMusicPlaylist1)</onclick>
    <onclick>Skin.Reset(CustomMusicPlaylist1.Label)</onclick>
    <onclick>Skin.Reset(CustomMusicPlaylist1.Iconl)</onclick>
    <onclick>Skin.Reset(CustomMusicPlaylist1.Path)</onclick>
    <selected>Skin.HasSetting(CustomMusicPlaylist1)</selected>
</control>

<control type="button">
    [...]
    <onclick>Skin.SetFile(CustomMusicPlaylist1.Path,.xsp|.m3u,special://profile/playlists/music/)</onclick>
    <visible>Skin.HasSetting(CustomMusicPlaylist1)</visible>
</control> 


If you also want to allow direct editing with the back key on the home screen, you can look how it's done in my skin.

Thanks. I will give it a try

I am not a massive fan of Metro style skins, but I will be glad when Gotham get's here with touchscreen support. The Metro style skins are idea for touchscreen use especially if you can use the skin on say a tablet. and then have the movie play on your TV. You are doing a very nice job if this is based on Foundation. I am still struggling but do not have much time. Keep up the good work.

P.S The second home page does look a lot better in my eyes.

great skin, any possibility of tests?

Not yet as some sections are unusable right now. As soon as it gets more stable there will be a first testing release

[toutoune290]

cool

A quick update After rearranging the homescreen several times, the final version is finished.

• Added options to hide every section
  
• Almost every tile and widget can now be customized
  

Still a lot to go, but the project is not dead
