Hey folks,
I updated the Holiday Mod to work with the new 3.3.0 update. I fought with the animated gif for two days, and then once I got it just how I wanted it, I was quashed by the Texture Packer (the video explains more). Nevertheless, I was able to add an animated Menu Style, along with another Christmas Style and a new Candy Cane font. There is also a changelog included with the mod. I was unable to keep from attaching a new Textures.xbt file...something with the animated gif and either the skin itself or KODI.
I want to thank those who gave me the idea to create the mod...Wanilton & schumi2004. Also, thanks to CraftyMc for the idea to add the Christmas wreath.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Hey latts

I really appreciate this.
Merry Christmas to you.
Thanks, will test it asap

Everything is working except the THEME doesn't show anything...
Any help?

Make sure you download the Extrapack available from either Skin Settings or the KODI Repo. Then download the extrapack file below and extract the two folders to the extrapack folder located at userdata\addon_data\skin.aeonmq6.extrapack. You should be good to go after that!

Thanks!
Great Mod...
My color flag mod doesn't work with this one...
Time to do some tweaking myself... Just don't know where to start.

You bet! Thanks!
I need to install the color flag mod. If that mod alters some of the same files as my mod, and you copied and pasted the files, you wiped out the color flag mod. I'll check it out and see what files it makes changes to.
You could use notepad++ and compare the two files
latts9923 : Thanks for your new version of this nice mod

Yeah, it modifies Includes.xml and IncludesVariables.xml just like my mod. I started marking the changes it makes last night. As soon as I get them all marked, I'll PM you the info and you can paste it into the two files. You should be good to go after that.

You're welcome! I was working hard to get the new version out before Christmas so everyone could enjoy it.

OK...after going cross-eyed comparing the files side by side, I think I got it figured out.
Replace your includes.xml and IncludesVariables.xml files with the new ones below. That should do the trick!

Doh! I just noticed something else.
Once you insert the new IncludesVariables.xml, look for this...
Code:
<variable name="value_codecdefault">
<value condition="SubString(skin.string(codec_default),none)">-</value>
<value condition="SubString(skin.string(codec_default),bluray)">flags/videocodec/bluray.png</value>
<value condition="SubString(skin.string(codec_default),webtv)">flags/videocodec/webtv.png</value>
<value condition="SubString(skin.string(codec_default),hdtv)">flags/videocodec/hdtv.png</value>
<value condition="SubString(skin.string(codec_default),3dbd)">flags/videocodec/3dbd.png</value>
<value condition="SubString(skin.string(codec_default),dvd)">flags/videocodec/dvd.png</value>
<value condition="SubString(skin.string(codec_default),set)">flags/videocodec/set.png</value>
<value condition="SubString(skin.string(codec_default),4k)">flags/videocodec/4k.png</value>
</variable>
and replace on each line where it has "flags/videocodec" with "flags/casecodec".
You'll have to do that with 7 more variables after that. Just keep scrolling down and you'll find them. I did a find and replace but I missed these.
They're named...
Code:
<variable name="value_codecbluray">
<variable name="value_codec3dbd">
<variable name="value_codecwebtv">
<variable name="value_codechdtv">
<variable name="value_codecdvd">
<variable name="value_codecset">
<variable name="value_codec4k">
