I'm using the stable Atlantis build for the Xbox.
I like the 30, 60, 120 and Custom settings of the Shutdown timer but I want to add a set of warnings before the system shuts down, in case I want to cancel or check how much time is left. I would like to try implementing it myself; just need some pointers on how to do it.
Here are some pictures so you can get an idea of what I'm trying to achieve:
Fig. 1: Home screen: This is my modified version of PM3.HD for standard definition. Notice warning sign in top right.
Fig. 2: Fullscreen video: Same warning. I want to add a ticking countdown so you can check the time remaining with the CodecInfo or View Mode button.
Fig. 3: Fullscreen video: A window in the same style as the skin's shutdown menu that stays up for the minutes of the timer countdown.
I've had trouble finding out which string holds the countdown timer and how to get it to display onscreen (The strings.xml file refers to it as %im%is). I've tried looking for it within the Online Manual with no success. It's probably something really simple. I know you can make an OSD display this because when you cancel a shutdown timer it tells you "Cancelled with xxx left". I just need to know how to recall that string so I can edit it into the skin XML files.
Thanks!
