Quote:Also, when looking at new addons, there is no indicator of which addons you currently have enabled/downloaded like there is in Confluence. It would be very helpful to see what is new compared to what you already have.

Just a few things I found. Other than that, this MOD remains one of my favorite.

The code for Home Style 2 is in the Includes.xml file. If you search for "<include name="Home_MenuIcon">" you'll go right to it.

About 15 lines down, you'll see the following code:

Code:

<itemlayout width="300" height="341">
                <control type="image">
                    <width>171</width>[color=black]
[/color]                    <height>171</height>
                    <posx>50</posx>
                    <posy>91</posy>
                    <texture fallback="homeicons/fallback.png">$INFO
[ListItem.Icon]</texture>
                </control>
            </itemlayout>
            <focusedlayout width="341" height="341">
                <control type="image">
                    <width>341</width>
                    <height>341</height>
                    <posx>0</posx>
                    <posy>0</posy>
                    <animation type="Focus" reversible="false">
                        <effect type="zoom" center="171,171" tween="back" easing="out" time="500" start="50" end="100" />
                    </animation>
                    <texture fallback="homeicons/fallback.png">$INFO
[ListItem.Icon]</texture>
                </control>
            </focusedlayout>

Mess with the numbers there to change the icon sizes.


As for the font (I'm not sure if we are talking about the same font since the Home2 labels already stretch across the screen), you can edit font.xml and search for "Font_MainMenu" then modify the "size" number.

joebrady Wrote:Great, thanks!

Yea, the font was just a bit smaller than the previous version of Alaska I was using, where that font actually ran off the screen just a bit...I just got used to it, now it looks to small to me.

Amra Wrote:If I understand your question correctly, you want to copy the "Media Info" views from BIG Alaska to the Original Alaska (NOT Alaska Revisted). Is that correct?

If so, I would like to test that it is a somewhat easy process tonight when I get home (at work now, shhhhh... ) and then if so, I'll let you know how to do it. I can tell you now, though, that it will involve modifying at least one other xml file and then copying the Media Info xml file over as well as a few image files.

I'll let you know.
