RE: skin helper service - braz - 2015-11-06 Here's another set of colors for the color picker. I needed darker colors for my background, but instead of adding another row I switched to a smaller set of colors. Also speeds up the loading of the textures, I don't notice any delay even on first run. https://github.com/bryanbrazil/skin.arctic.zephyr.braz/tree/master/extras/colors RE: skin helper service - Jayz2K - 2015-11-06 (2015-11-06, 10:15)braz Wrote: Here's another set of colors for the color picker.

Idea that just popped into my head: Maybe it's a good thing if you can have multiple color profiles/schemes. So you can have multiple color.xml files and select from one ? For example "blue tints" will show all blue related colors etc Something I should consider coding or not that great idea ?

You're reading my mind ? EDIT : With the ability to set a default one at first skin launch ? Or a bool for default ?

I like the looks of the color table with 500+ colors, but for my purposes the smaller color table (~100 colors) has all of the ones I need. Like you say though, some will likely want more. Would it be possible to pass the header label to the script when calling the color picker? Something like... Code: RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=colorpicker,skinstring=highlight,label="Header label") I work around this with a variable that displays the appropriate header label based on a skin setting. Thanks again for the script, it opens up so many opportunities.

RE: skin helper service - adis007 - 2015-11-06 Hi im85288 i am absolutelly lost in all those commands I need to update inside .xml files. Will be more than helpfull if someone could do something like HOW-TO video guide. We as a non programer people do not have chance to follow up on many of these threads. I konw that this might be a video of 20=30 minutes but any first steps would be more than helpfull thank you for understanding RE: skin helper service - User 224999 - 2015-11-06 (2015-11-06, 13:45)adis007 Wrote: Hi im85288 I think you better install (or wait for) a skin that has this already implemented or a prebuilt mod. This is not likely something you want to do yourself if you don't have any experience developing skins. At the moment there are a number of (WIP) skins that already support the PVR artwork feature. RE: skin helper service - adis007 - 2015-11-06 marcelveldt I managed to instal aeon MQ6 but as I saw here there is no info about when will be published inside KODI. Also I am not sure if this skin helper is already inside ( I have 2.4.0 version). Could you send me message? RE: skin helper service - Gade - 2015-11-06 Hi Marcel. Would it be possible to add these info labels: Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItemAudioStreams.Count) Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItemLanguages.Count) Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItemSubtitles.Count) And also Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.RecentMusicBackground) Thanks so much in advance!

I think I've found a solution for that ;-) I have just added support for multiple color palettes to the script. You can specify multiple color palettes, open the picker with a specific palette and have a different itemlayout for each palette. Off course it's backwards compatible with the old method. As a start I included the 2 color palettes created by you by default in the picker so now you can switch between those two. Have a look at the updated readme how this stuff works, it's pretty cool. Also I have added a header= parameter to define the header label yourself. Make sure to give the header label the ID 1. RE: skin helper service - tomer953 - 2015-11-06 the new splash screen option is working awesome! especially when choosing mp4 files. thanks for that. Finally I can use this: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=209673&pid=1921025#pid1921025 RE: skin helper service - User 224999 - 2015-11-06 (2015-11-06, 22:04)tomer953 Wrote: the new splash screen option is working awesome! especially when choosing mp4 files. thanks for that. Oh yeah, forgot to mention [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH] added a splash screen feature...

Update: Just tested the new method to pass the header label, works great! Also removed my custom skin/colors to test the default layouts, very impressive. Thanks again, I can't believe I waited so long to try this script out. RE: skin helper service - tomer953 - 2015-11-06 Marcel, I don't know if that is really true, but two users said that since one of the latest update, The backup option is getting Access denied. 23:18:31 T:3700 ERROR: Skin Helper Service --> ERROR while creating backup ! --> Problem creating file in destination folder |
