Hi All,

I've been a long time lurker and recently switched from Nox to MQ6 (I'm running Isengard). I have no clue how to write code and what it takes to make changes to a skin using the xml files. What I am trying to accomplish is make small changes to the existing view modes. I've read that I could join a VIP club and donate a little for additional support. I am more than willing to donate and I just need to be pointed in the right direct.

One of the changes I want to make is move the location of the TV show logo in the view mode shown below. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated


Also, can anyone give me some guidence on where or how I could be begin to teach my self how to do these modifications my self? I would like to learn and hopefully contribute to the community in the future.

Do you just want it for tv shows or all

Xml are just txt files. I use notepad++ to edit xml files

When I get home I'll do a bit of digging to find the line to edit.

What version of mq do you have?

Ok after a quick look it looks like it might be in ViewsRightList.xml search for "logo" and there you can see the position in "left" & "top" it's around line 47.

Now for shows without logos you have to move the title aswell.

Also have you looked at the other views aeon mq offers?

Hope the info helps, I don't want to do it for you but teach you how to find and edit yourself since you say you would like to learn.

Another great place for info is the tips and tricks page on the forum.

Thanks for your help. I haven't had a chance to go in and look at/edit the files but when I do I'll post my results.

I tried to make the changes but nothing happened. Logo stayed in the same position. This is what I did

</control>
<control type="image" id="5103"><!-- Logo -->
<left>45</left>
<top>52</top>
<width>300</width>
<height>110</height

What file did you modified?
With thises mods it would put it up at the top left

I figured it out, it was a few lines down in a different setting.

<control type="image" id="5104"><!-- clearlogo e clearart -->
<left>45</left>
<top>52</top>
<width>300</width>
<height>110</height>
<texture background="true">$VAR[value_logoandclearart]</texture>
<aspectratio align="right" aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>
<fadetime>FanartCrossFadeTime</fadetime>
<visible>Window.IsActive(25) + !Skin.HasSetting(noartrightlistvideo)</visible>

Now if I can just find a way to remove the text in that corner with the episode season/number and the status.



I also played around and moved it down a bit.

I think that is called tagline and should be under the logo part.

Thank you for your help.

Another change that I want to make is to set my default view for a music for apps like Pandora to be like the view below. Thoughts?
