[WIP] Limbus - a new skin for XBMC that I have been working on
#91
Very nice, it looks pretty good.

btw, the plot and the shelf-view have a very hard animation, while scrolling through the movies. Maybe you could have a look.
A little bug: when playing a movie it is not possible to see the items in 'videos'.

What did you notice? It seems to me all the movie section is moving a bit strange. Seems to stick a second every 8 movie or so.

Fixed it. thanks for letting me know.
Did a lot recently. Now I am concentrating on finding bugs and imperfections. I will most likely update real soon.

I See you have added support to have "ExtraFanArt" and "ExtraThumbs". Have you got them to work on the same page at the same time? I Really hope so.

Thanks for taken to the time to read.

NEW DOWNLOAD FOR LIMBUS

I have noticed this skin was not solid as a theme for a while. Most likely due to focusing on learning code more than design at the start. I thought this would work itself out but it seems the skin has become split with two designs existing in one skin.While this download is the whole of everything after this there will be a slimmer more unified Limbus. I am dividing it into two projects.

Limbus that will go in the direction of a skin with an application orientated design
Image
,and Geist a minimal design that focuses on fanart and fast navigation.
Image

EDIT: Be careful to make sure only one radiobutton is ticked when choosing a home menu. Just noticed the problem will fix it soon.

My I suggest that you change the layout of the images on the movie page.

Big main top fanart image should be "ExtraFanArt" and then bottom mid "ExtraThumbs" thumb1.jpg, then bottom centre poster (list icon as you call it) and far bottom right "ExtraThumbs" thumb2.jpg.

Or if you go hunting in the skin "Shade", They have a system that is just like "ExtraFanArt". But it cycles "Extrathumbs" instead. Don't ask me witch view. I can't remember. But it's there.

If you can pull it off, It would be epic.

Just wanted to chime in here and say this is really some impressive work. Lot of innovation in here. The hub centric idea is really nice and after a bit of getting used to the navigation is really well thought out. Love the raido, cable, books, etc links that you have setup. Really makes customizing it easy and intuitive.

Having fun trying the different home menu types. I'll use it some more and try putting it through it's paces and report back.

Three things have popped up though. One is the qclock, I can see the four little dots in the corners that indicate minutes. However it's missing all the words that actually tell you the time. Might be a font color issue being the same as the background or something.

The other is the TV/Movie views. In options there seems to be a lot more views available than I actually can change to. Example is Accordion and Carousel, I have them set to show in options, but when toggling views in Movies, they don't show.

Last is the skin not remembering the last Home menu option that was chosen when using Spiral. Example: I go to Television, browse through my library, watch a show, come back to home and it's now focused on Settings. The other Home menu types icon, default and vert do seem to remember the last choice. Not a game breaker or anything.

So fairly minor things, but definitely great work on your part. Limbus sure does have that "unique" feel to it.

I am not sure what is happening. I had that trouble once but it was me overlooking installing the script after a re install. Took me an half hour to realize what was going on .One of those moments. I will check into it.

Totally true . I have been doing so much lately completely forgot that section.I am separating limbus into two different skins at the moment and there will be a few less views, but it will be more organized.

Spiral is in experimental stage. I am unhappy with the current animation and the bug you pointed out. Hopefully soon it will be fixed.

The hub views for non customized sections will most likely not be there in limbus on next update. Instead the home page will contain the same info found there.

Thanks for the input very appreciated.

I'll take the suggestion. There will be more views using the extra art soon. Some will cycle and some will be using static images.

in rssfeeds.xml, and I have the script. rssclient
so how can I use it now, because when I click on latest news there is nothing?
sorry for my english

I find the problem: don't use XBMC.RunScript(script.rssclient) but XBMC.RunScript(script.rssclient-standalone)

Hey Bridgman, this skin is crazy! Great work!

I want to steal some of your ideas for viewing comics, but I am wondering--how can I get the comic book border out of the texture file? Any way you can hook me up?

Also, how is it that you concealed the word "Pictures" in the pictures library and replace it with comics?

I'm trying to add a comics section to another skin, and your implementation is PERFECT!
