Love to see your work M.D. But there seems to be something wrong with your links !?
All I see is this "http://www.********.com/bbs/attachment.php?attachmentid=76434&stc=1&d=11684918 20"

- M.D. - 2007-01-22

oops.

- M.D. - 2007-01-22

Hope these works.

The wallpapers will automatically change every 20 or 30 seconds, or you press a botton. Cool.

That looks great M.D. Big Grin

I get your point - Will try finding some images of my own!

- M.D. - 2007-01-22

Yeah, I think the random wallpapers will look even better when the upcoming background animation is done.

Great work, Smokehead. This skin is the best thing ever happened on XBMC. Who can imagine Xbox have such a long life?

- joe4444 - 2007-01-22

SmokeHead,

I've been browsing through the xml files but can't seem to figure out where the album title display location is defined for the Big Wrap view. I'd like to add a similar label above the album cover art with the artist name. If this isn't a feature you want to add to the official release, then could you point me to the correct tag(s)? Thanks!

I think this would be a good idea too (for both wraplist) and would also be greatful for any pointers on how to achieve this. Thnaks again for all the work your putting into this, it's such a clean user friendly skin. Looking forward to seeing the new home page ;-)

Thank you for your daily update of Clearity in your link.

I think I found these wallpaper packages at Blackbolt's MC360 skin forum. They suppose to go with MC360, heh...

Resolution is not high, they're just 720x480. File sizes are roughly about 230k each. But looks great at 720P. I think I used 20 of them, and my free memory is 24 mb out of 64 mb.

Have fun.

I'm using Msan compiled 0123 build Clearity, together with 0116 version XBMC. When playing music, had following overlapping problem.

Also I remember in older build of Clearity, the album info background is transparent, now it's black. Hope it's user customizable. Thanks.

Oops, link problem again.

I´ve edited the following in Includes.xml in the PAL directory under


<control type="label">
<description>MyMusic Info</description>
<posx>70</posx>
<posy>420</posy>
<width>580</width>
<height>16</height>
<font>special12</font>

</control>

leave the first entry (<include name="WrapInfo">) as it is

Thanks, ImpreZa. That's exactly what I wanted. Using your example I was able to add the artist name above my album art in a big wrap list:

For anyone interested, here's the XML added to Includes.xml under <!-- WrapList Info Labels ===:

Code:
<control type="label">

        <description>Artist Name</description>

        <posx>70</posx>

        <posy>125</posy>

        <width>580</width>

        <height>16</height>

        <font>special14</font>

        <textcolor>FFffffff</textcolor>

        <align>center</align>

        <scroll>true</scroll>

        <label>$INFO[listitem.artist]</label>

        <include>selectedcolor</include>

        <include>common-fade-quick</include>

        <visible>Control.IsVisible(55)</visible>

    </control>

However, with today's build I seem to have an issue with the Now Playing display: it never appears whether I set the option or not. Anyone else have this problem?

Also, while looking through the media files I noticed a 'defaultalbumcover.png' that seems to be intended for use on albums without art, but instead the 'defaultfolderbig.png' is used:

Keep up the great work, SmokeHead! Smile

Nevermind...I finally realized that it won't display at the main menu or while watching a visualization.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed my suggestion before, but I think the Now Playing display should replace the standard music info (press WHITE during visualization) as it provides more info about the song and is easier to read.

- MajorTom - 2007-01-26

I like the now playing window alot... It does however get a bit busy/messy on screen... maybe if everything else was removed apart from the background and the clock it would look nicer... just a suggestion... thanks for the work :-)
