Alaska Revisited (XBMC) Logo viewtype test

looks ok but would not have that type of view maybe leaving it in panel view but having the logo of each show at the top left so basicly having your panel view but replacing the standard font text with the tv logo but calling it panel logo view for the logos and leaving panel view alone as is for font txt type view.

so the only difference in the panel view is the logos or fonts at teh top left.

do you know what i mean ?

cheers

Tried it and didn't like it -

There's just no uniformity to the logos* to make the view look consistent.

* I must point out this no fault of the creators - it's simply the nature of beast

To be honest i like it, since you done the work it might be a good idea to add it ? see what other people think.

but if you do add this option i would add it as a new view and also keep the other view which has the normal fonts.

As some of you may know my 'real life' job is a postie and I recently found out that one of the families I deliver to is trying to raise over £40,000 for an operation for their daughter Megan. So if anyone feels like making a donation because they like using the skins I've worked that would be fantastic.

Thanks.

From watching the videos of this skin and seeing screens of it, i'm noticing that your home screen has actual fanart for the icons as opposed to the generic images that show up. Is there something I need to do so that mine will show fanart such as on movies and television shows?


Newbies question on translation - partimers - 2010-08-13

Hello,

sorry for the newbie question. I would like to translate the skin to Portuguese (Brasil). Should I only do this:

- Duplicate an existing language folder (i.e. the English one)
- Rename the folder "Portuguese (Brazil)"
- Translate all the strings inside strins.xml from english to portugues

Right now my XBMC is set to Portuguese. When using Alaska Revisited I see some text in English, some in Portuguese, and I understand it is because the skin is not translated (yet Wink).

What puzzles me, on the weather icon on the home menu, there is a string "Currently" to describe the current temperature. I did search the strings.xml file and could not find any occurrence of "Currently". Should I translate something else as well?

Thanks for the beautiful design of this skin!

Check the Alaska settings and you'll see you can add your own image folders.

That's correct and 'currently' should be in there -

<string id="40157">Currently</string>

Thanks hitcher for the awesome panel view!


Weird skin bug that prevent me from using 2nd monitor - wdodd - 2010-08-13

I've been using the latest build of XBMC Dharma and I finally realized that the Alaska Revisited skin prevent me from using the 2nd monitor as set up in System, Video Output, Display Mode. It works perfectly fine if I use the Confluence skin that came with XBMC. However, when I switch to Alaska, I can't use the 2nd monitor.

Hopefully a fix can be found. Alaska Revisited is the best skin I have ever used so far. Keep up the good work.

Is anyone here working on a CDART mod for Revisited? I know Hitcher doesn't like it so he won't be adding it himself. I was fiddling with the regular Alaska CDART mod but I got a long way to go with XML before I pull it off. Was hoping maybe some modder out there has considered this for Revisited.

Maybe? Smile
