Hi. Is it possible to add add-ons information like for Confluence for Cirrus Extended ?

Image

The actual Fanart Square view only display the add-on name. I think it would be great to also display the description, the author name and the version number of the add-on.

Something like this :

But... maybe I miss something to activate this information on Cirrus Extended...

Hi there,

thx for update but is
# Chang:Removed Info Hide from Fanart View
the reason why my fanart view has the info displayed.
Not sure why the option was cancelled, but how can i disable the info on my fanart view.

IIRC the slim osd should show the movie cover if i pause the movie. this for some reason does not work here. Any help appreciated.

BTW just saw you come from Germany. -> Tach auch


Edit: OK found the new SlideFanart view, which is just perfect for me. Any reason why this one in not usable in the TVShows?

THX

So far we already have reports for 1.2.3

As you see the first version of cirrus extended and the latest update you'll notice many changes and fixes. Keep in mind that we can't satisfy everyone but we'll try...

- info for addons (i'll take a look shouldn't be a big deal, but be aware that it won't look nice if there is no fanart)
- show poster on pause (will be done)
- hide info in fanart view (we don't need it as you have the new fanart slide view)
- we know this skin isn't perfect (we're working hard to get it, maybe explain what we can do to make it better)

Sorry mate, let me understand:

You are using Cirrus Extended and you want a complete new Home Menu?

About the other features we can talk about, but a complete new Home Menu is not in our mind.

I can't create a mockup cirrus, I don't have texture (it's an exemple vertical submenu with top main menu horizontal)

Just look at the texture the submenu uses and use the same exact textures already referenced.

OR, use the tons of code that already exists and modify it gradually to look how you want.

This custom menu you want to create really should be pretty damn easy to create out of modified files already present, because all of the ingredients are already there. I might be missing some things, but it would basically be as follows:

Step one: Create a copy of the horizontal menu file (includeshomemainmenuhoriz) or something like that, located in the 720p folder.-- Give it a new file name, and a unique ID number (this must be changed throughout the document all places it occurs), and add it to the beginning of includes.xml.

Based on your screen shot, you probably want to adjust the focus position of your fixedlist to be more left aligned than centered.

Step 2: Modify the location of the menu in the control group that governs the position of all of the menu items.

Step 3: This is the key--copy the submenu from the VERTICAL Home menu, give it a unique name and ID number, add it to includes.xml.

Step 4: Change the "<ondown>" tags in your new horizontal menu file to the id number you created for the new modified vertical submenu.

Step 5: Adjust the individual list items for each submenu so that they are located at the top, rather than the middle.

Step 6: Go back and adjust the date and time's size and location (I think this is actually in home.xml, but I could be wrong).

Step 7: Add the submenu items you want, along with the headings and format them accordingly. Lists of font's can be found in the fonts.xml file.

I don't know how familiar you are with skinning, but an easy way to get the activatewindow command for an item you want to add is by adding it to favourites, then opening your userdata folder and finding favourites.xml and stealing it from there.

Step 8: I don't know if they people are going to want this home menu available as an option in skin settings when they download it, but you are either going to have to make it switchable in the settings, or you are going to have to simply delete either your vertical or horizontal menus and submenus, and replace them with these files and rename them exactly as the ones you deleted. Then it will just sort of be your personal hack, but not everything can be listed in the settings of the official version.



This should get you pretty close, without even having to even worry about much many changes. Like I said, most of this stuff is already there, just have to move it around a bit.

Have fun!Wink
