Backdrop folders for different times of the day
#1
Is it possible do define more backdrop folders to the stuff like video and music? So that it will be more kids friendly backdrops during the day grownup backdrops during the night? Or do I need to specify multiple users to get around this?

If you don't want to use seperate profiles, it's possible to define custom backgrounds based on the current time, but you'll have to edit the .xml files to make it work.

Here's an example that will display adult backgrounds from 9-12 PM and kids friendly backgrounds during the rest of the day:

Code:
        <control type="multiimage">
            <include>Background_ImageFolder</include>
            <imagepath>backdrops/adult</imagepath>
            <visible>Container(300).HasFocus(1) + Control.IsVisible(300)</visible>
            <visible>Skin.String(CustomMusicFolder)</visible>
            <visible>[[substring(system.time,9:) | substring(system.time,10: | substring(system.time,11:)]+ substring(system.time,PM)]</visible>
        </control>

        <control type="multiimage">
            <include>Background_ImageFolder</include>
            <imagepath>backdrops/kids</imagepath>
            <visible>Container(300).HasFocus(1) + Control.IsVisible(300)</visible>
            <visible>Skin.String(CustomMusicFolder)</visible>
            <visible>![[substring(system.time,9:) | substring(system.time,10: | substring(system.time,11:)]+ substring(system.time,PM)]</visible>
        </control>

There may be other ways to accomplish this, but this was the only way i could think of.
