Have you put it in the other_textures folder?

I've put the file in other_textures (a 1920x1080 png, 1.3mb atm but will reduce filesize eventually) and I've added this to includes.xml:

PHP Code:

<!-- Home BACKGROUND -->
    <include name="Home_Background">
        <control type="image" id="1">
          <description>background image</description>
          <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
          <imagepath>other_textures</imagepath> 
          <fadetime>2000</fadetime>
          <aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
          <texture>mybackground.png</texture>
        </control>
    </include> 


then I've commented out the GlobalBackground include in Home.xml and stuck <include>Home_Background</include> underneath.

Still nada..

PHP Code:

control type="image" id="1">
          <description>background image</description>
          <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
          <imagepath>other_textures</imagepath> 
          <fadetime>2000</fadetime>
          <aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
          <texture>mybackground.png</texture>
        </control> 


control type="image" for single image
then use <texture>mybackground.png</texture>

control type="multiimage" for multiple images
then use <imagepath>myimagepath</imagepath>

You had both <texture> and <imagepath> ...

Also see This Link for more options like setting time image is displayed, whether to radomize, etc...

imagepath is used for multi image controls.

Try -

Code:

<texture>other_textures/mybackground.png</texture>

I was editing the 720 includes while xbmc was using the 1080 includes

Thanks lads, appreciated.

okay, so a nooby question here, when I'm viewing the MyVideoNav screen (using View_50_List), I can use my mouse so select to activate the <onclick> fuction. But when I'm viewing Home.xml screen, I can only action the <onclick> by pressing enter. What am I missing?? Thanks in advance for any solution or pointers in the right direction

hi hitcher,

i was looking for a skin, mainly for using addons (online videos and live streams).

most of the skins are really nice, but for my purpose a bit too much.
the skin i had in mind, it's more like an iphone interface with icons and so.

i tried my selfand used confluence as a base and in the Home.xml i added <onload>ActivateWindow(Videos,Addons)</onload> (with thumbnail view) it showed all the addons installed only in the videos section.

my question:
- how can i tweak this window or its contents? show also other plugins from other sections, add a button to go to settings, remove level up option etc.

thanks,
improv

Basically, no.

Can I delete this as wanted to ask a question but I am trying to work it out.

[relyter]

I wondering is it possible to use window built in controls in list <content></content>?

Does the silence mean "no, you can't" or "your question doesn't have much sense".

[Hitcher]

Yes you can.

[relyter]

Yes you can.

Thank you. However i don't get how. A window has built-in control "id: 4, type: togglebutton". I have a fixed list and i want that control to be one of the <item id="x">
The following obviously doesn't work.

PHP Code:

<item id="1">
    <control type="togglebutton" id="4">

No, that's not the way it works.

I'm sorry, but i read both of those many times before asking here. As far as i understand in <content> instead of <control type="togglebutton" id="4"> i need to use appropriate infolabel in <label> and built-in function in <onclick>. And this code work

PHP Code:

<item id="2">
    <description>View</description>
    <label>View</label>
    <label2>$INFO[Container.Viewmode]</label2>
         <onclick>Container.NextViewMode</onclick>
</item> 


But below won't work, it doesn't switch direction and doesn't show label2. So being desperate i wondering if i can use buttons in <content>

PHP Code:

<item id="4">
    <description>Asc/Desc</description>
    <label>Sort</label>
    <label2>$INFO[Container.SortDirection]</label2>
    <onclick>Container.SortDirection</onclick>
</item>
