Hi !

Is there a XBMC Skin editor for Windows ?
In wiki pages, I found the XBMC Skin Editor (xbmcskineditor.xbox-scene.com), but the website is down.

I like to customize my Confluence installation.

Thanks a lot !

vim/your text editor of choice works just fine.

I use Notepad++ and I've mapped F5 to reload the skin using the kepmap.xml.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <F5>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</F5>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

Dumb question but i'm trying to learn here. i've created the above .xml file in the 720 folder. i've added it to the includes.xml list. Why am i unable to get this to work when hitting the F5 button?

Thanks.

the skin folder is the wrong place for that file or that setting.
you should look in your user folder.
under win 7:
C://User/YourName/Appdata/Roaming/xbmc/userdata/keymaps/

That did the trick thanks for the help.

Simple but very useful ! Thanks !

I do believe that a editing xml source is the best way to write you windows as a skin editor would be a limitation to your imagination.
But sometimes a simple editor for editing windows with a grid to let you easily move an control or a group of control would be a good thing ...

I can not believe I haven't done this yet. Thanks for posting that. The amount of time it is saving me is great!
