Indiana, if you do not mind, could you please try this uncomplete set of files please.

And before I forget : Settings -> System -> Radiobutton on the left side

Please let me know

Oh YES!!
The big control bar is very nice!
Mouse hidding too!
I just have a display trouble with the 2 volume buttons :
the Vol.+ and VOL. - labels don't size the buttons. There is not enought space for the text.
And it hides the title of the screen : maybe you can try to move it on center bottom of the screen?
One question : do you think it's possible to add this control bar always visible in fullscreen mode? (OSD screen) or , a better idea :
In place of your bigs touch zones in OSD mode : maybe make the original pad always visible AND volume displaying with touch zone on it, always visible too.
What do you think about it?

Anyway : I think you are in the right way.
Wonderful! Thank you.

Question : I know you don't modify all screens, but don't you use library mode?
Why?

I'll have a look on your code when I'll had time, to understand it!
:o)

[lndiana]

I tried much more, and finally, the mouse hidding features is not the best way for me, because I rarely use mouse too.
Is it working if you don't hide mouse with touchsetting, but 'manualy' in the standard 'use mouse' setting?
Plus : Where can we found pictures to use with buttons? Because Vol.+ and Vol.- labels don't feet in buttons and aren't really pretty. No?

[lndiana]

I just see we can enlarge the scrollbar in includes.xml.
When I pass it from 20 to 30 pixels large : it is more usable with touch.
Try it!

Does not matter as I made two small icons this lunch. I'll try to add designed buttons this evening

And it hides the title of the screen :

Anoying. At least, I did not ask you to try for nothing...

maybe you can try to move it on center bottom of the screen?

I will think about it this evening if I can find some time

IMHO, this will not be as beautifull as today (I am talking about the animation)
Maybe it would be possible to hide the control bar and when you touch the screen for the first time, bring it back. I do not know how to do it and, to be fully honest, I like my large touch zones so I do not planne to do it.

But I will probably add some transparent buttons (If I find how to...)

Question : I know you don't modify all screens, but don't you use library mode?
Why?

I do not know the benefits of using it. So I never searched how to used it. So I do not know how to use it... Please explain me the benefits. Maybe I'll be more than pleased

I'll have a look on your code when I'll had time, to understand it!

Try it!

It will be really appreciated that you copy/paste the changes here... (Which line to change also)

I don't want to hide your control bar, but add it , always visible, to the OSD screen. Instead of your large touch zones.
I like it too, but when you don't know how it works (like my wife! ), it's much better to have buttons always visible.
Especially to not accidently pause the song..
I'll try to add id by myself when I'll have time...
Could you give me the code to include it in a screen?

For me :
- to use playlist (especially smart playlist!
- to sort by album, artiste or track name.
- to see music by album, with cover art.
- and to use the search feature.

Thank you

It append I use keyboard and touchpad, so if I can see the mouse cursor, it'll be difficult! That's why I prefer when the cursor is always visible.
Maybe you could add an other button in setting screen to choose to hide cursor or not?

At line 774 in the includes.xml file :

<include name="AllViewCommonPageControls">
<control type="scrollbar" id="60">
<posx>1255</posx>
<posy>130</posy>
<width>30</width>

Indiana,
Could you try this "just a little less" uncomplete set of files and tell me if, at least, it solves the problem of titles

I don't want to hide your control bar, but add it , always visible, to the OSD screen. Instead of your large touch zones.

I understood it!

I like it too, but when you don't know how it works (like my wife! ), it's much better to have buttons always visible.

You are saying it would be better for WAF !!!
My new girlfriend seems to be a geekette ! So I do not have the problem...

Especially to not accidently pause the song..

In my last version (not include in the today's test) to pause the sound, it is difficult because the "pause" areas are very small (in the bottom corners)

I'll try to add id by myself when I'll have time...
Could you give me the code to include it in a screen?

Not yet, sorry. What I would like to do (If I can find how to...) is to have a completely transparent button all over the MusicOSD screen (because I do not like the control buttons to stay over animations)
And when you'll click on it (so anywhere on the screen), it will call another screen, very similar to my actual MusicOSD, BUT with larges icones in the middle of the areas.
Do you like this idea ? Is it enough WAF suitable ?

For me :
- to use playlist (especially smart playlist!
- to sort by album, artiste or track name.
- to see music by album, with cover art.
- and to use the search feature.

And do you have a place where to read about it because I do not even know how to activate it :o

It append I use keyboard and touchpad, so if I can see the mouse cursor, it'll be difficult! That's why I prefer when the cursor is always visible.

Bon vas-y en français parce que je ne comprends toujours pas ce que tu veux dire

Maybe you could add an other button in setting screen to choose to hide cursor or not?

You just have to remove line(s) starting with <visible> in pointer.xml file

At line 774 in the includes.xml file :

Done today... Thank you, it is much better (But I moved it from the right to the left of 10 px to be more pretty...)

[LoloMc²]

Indiana,

I had a few minutes this evening and tried to implementing videoOSD function... Please have a try and tell me

Know issue :
Pressing the "Next" button bring you back to the video selection list because it seems (to me) that the " <onclick>XBMC.PlayerControl(Next)</onclick>" does not respond. But I do not understand why!)

If you try this set of files, DO NOT FORGET : Settings -> System -> Left tab "Touchscreen" and activate

I have to say that i was very happy when i tested this, works wonderful om my Eee Top, thanks for taking time to develop this!

What would be even more impressive if this could be applied to all pictures(make it a global "button") because sometimes i browse around in the interface and get stuck when there is no back button

Thanks again, makes XBMC perfect for my Eee Top, keep the updates coming!

Ahh I'm so glad I spotted this thread. I was about to buy Album Player to use as my jukebox interface but then I stumbled onto this thread.

I've just tried your skin modification on a fresh install of XBMC 9.04 but I've run into a little problem. After installing XBMC and then copying the skin mod files from the link in the first post (XBMC_for_EEETop_Rev04-07-2009.7z) into the xbmc dir I dont seem to be able to get a list of sources when I tap on the MUSIC button from the main menu. All I get is the graphite background but no light grey panel where the sources and files/dirs are usually listed.

Have I missed something in the setup?

I should mention that I dont use Library mode and instead prefer to just have a file and folder list of my music.

@fl0PPsy

Please RE-read the red lines of the first post and especially RE-read the second post

You'll see that XBMC_for_EEETop_Rev04-07-2009.7z was made for XBMC8.10 and especially NOT for 9.04

But if you want a more complete mod (but still in developpement) I suggest you to have a look here
If you try the last one, please GIVE ME FEEDBACK !

Thank you for your encouragement
I am not really motivated as nobody gives me any feedback. (I am not even talking about accurate feedback )

I assume that you are one of the 20 downloaders of "Modification for PM3.HD_07-06-09-alpha3.rar"... So you know what to do

Tomorrow, I go out for three weeks of holidays so it should give users time to try and give me ACCURATE feedback...

[fl0PPsy]

Yeah I just figured out that I had the wrong version and was just about to post that I've got it working now. Thanks for getting back to me.

I'll grab the newer version you linked to there when I get home this eve and I'll give you some feedback on it.

Your motivation up till now is HUGELY!!! appreciated
