Awesome skin. Landed on this after trying all sorts of crazy and cool skins.
Is there a way to have custom home menu to point to a folder with images and rotate them as backgrounds?
Also, a setting for custom submenu items to have their own background.
Is there any xml file to that effect?

Thanks in advance

Cool - I have some Moroccan friends here in the south of France

Update uploaded 1.3.0 - Only few changes, but a whack of code for scrolling submenu items up to 10 - Hope it works
Other change is autostart Music Viz - seems to work when switch is on.

Was thinking of maybe a toggle to preset settings for low powered devices, will need advice on what to turn off.

Will look at suggestions list now, I've been ignoring it all week

*** SUMMARY LIST OF REQUESTS ***

* REQUESTS PLANNED FOR NEXT UPDATE

-

* REQUESTS OUTSTANDING (approved, but no time frame yet)

- Add Arrow Buttons to Weather widget to enable change of Location
(and not require needing to go into weather once to enable this function)
- EPG/PVR Screen Mod
- Add some type of Trailer button
(I dont quite understand what this is... maybe needs to be optional?)
- Improve background image showing for 1second before a movie starts playing

(NB: static 'Working...' image without any spinner already available - set Enable Busy Animation to OFF in skin settings)


* NEW REQUESTS (pending approval by Mudislander)

- If the Play Action is set to 'Choose' can Widgets also respect this and show the Play / Show Information / More pop up menu?
(Mudislander reply: "does anyone know another Theme that can do this, so we can look at the code?")
- Ability to have TV Show banner view use the whole screen
(Mudislander reply: sorry not ATM, that's original view - this is under consideration again)
- Fix 'In Progress Movies' preset functionality
- Ability to change AddOn name Text Colour on the Home Screen Widget for better readability vs chosen background
(I think this was way back in the thread)
- Showing 'End Time in 'M' key Fullscreen OSD
- Show Title in Wide View
- Add a toggle on Fanart view to switch between the thumbs / logos / clear art
- Ability to set what Fullscreen OSD button will be highlighted as default (eg: SubTitles instead of Pause)
(http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1472657)

(http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1472708)
- In Movie Information View change 'MPAA Rating' to 'Certification' (for international users)
- Add button for next version of Trakt.tv on left side slide out menu
(see here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1473561)
- Move OSD Volume buttons to the same location for Audio and Video

EDIT: Up to date for 1.3.0 released today

[jmh2002]

This should be a current list - I'll edit when I see what has been updated.

I just added one item that I noticed: Is it possible for the FullScreen OSD Volume buttons to be in the same place for Audio an Video? At the moment the Video ones are at the far left, and the Audio ones are at the far right

I also had question, I'm not sure if it is skin related, or XBMC itself. I use the Radio AddOn from Sphere. If I play something from the AddOn I get the matching Thumbnail at left on the home screen and at left in fullscreen too. But if I play it from XBMC Favourites I just get the default audio Thumbnail (even though the correct Thumbnail shows in Favourites)

Was thinking of maybe a toggle to preset settings for low powered devices, will need advice on what to turn off.

I had been pondering this too, but didn't want to pile things on your plate unnecessarily. You can see all my settings in the gallery if you wish, it might be a good starting point for low powered devices

Re: *** SUMMARY LIST OF REQUESTS *** Well that was fast, I don't have to go and look for it now

Just in-case you guys haven't seen this skin.ccm-lite by seanet7or.

I like it.

@seanet7or Shout out if you'd like it hosted in the repo along with this Mod.

[jmh2002]

Yes, I had a list waiting to post and figured it would save you looking for it.

About yet another variant of the skin: I guess it can be cool but if the same result can be already be achieved by turning off options in CCM then Im not sure... Since, you know what will happen over time - users of skin.ccm-lite will start asking for more features too

I think I would rather have all the features, and turn off the ones that my device wont run, or decide myself if any slowdown is a worthwhile tradeoff vs having the feature I want.

One question: for skin comparison sake does anybody know if RPi runs XBMC faster or slower than an iPad1 or aTV?
I see this http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs but...

Hi Mudislander,

if you are at looking at the requests, please keep an eye at my post #490, maybe the db option could fix the year issue for all of us.

Thanx

[jmh2002]

Its already on the Summary, but I just also added a link to post 490 for reference

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile if you need any artwork done give me a shout out..
Had to completely redo my computer do to a hard drive crash and serious damage to my
database etc and other issues come about here and there in day to day life I had to get
in check..

[Mudislander]

Howzit Joe, good to see you back. Bad news about computer, also fried my laptop & it's a problem getting stuff back. Actually did originally want the age certification to match the rest of the codec icons, but now am wondering if the others should be in colour like Hybrid's are. Lets see what other guys have to say.
Actually if you feel you can improve on any of the artwork - go for it

I just added one item that I noticed: Is it possible for the FullScreen OSD Volume buttons to be in the same place for Audio an Video? At the moment the Video ones are at the far left, and the Audio ones are at the far right

If I play something from the AddOn I get the matching Thumbnail at left on the home screen and at left in fullscreen too. But if I play it from XBMC Favourites I just get the default audio Thumbnail (even though the correct Thumbnail shows in Favourites)

Will work on the OSD Volume, reason for that was the previous issue with scrolling through buttons with volume buttons hidden. I agree they should be the same in Video & Audio. Anyone got any preferences on order of buttons - eg: Defaults to subtitles button

Re your Radio AddOn. I'd say that the Addon is passing the complete info to the player, but when played from favourites it's like looking at your movies in file mode and the player just knows that it's an audio stream. Don't think there's much I can do - but will check on passing variables when playing from favourites.

Yes to backgrounds and No to submenus background. If you want to edit submenus xml ? - File is "IncludesHomeSubMenuSystem.xml"

MY WISH;
Hi
As you know audio streaming from different sources (Online videos, audios, ... ) have different loudness
and I have do always bring Volume Lower or Higher
Any possibility to control with an option for constant Volume play from any source (like options that available
in televisions (ie. my sony tv.)
this will be very useful
thanks a lot for great skin
still I wish my last wish posted to have ( video description at to of screen like Hybrid)

Sorry no chance a skin can normalise the volume output of various different sources.

last part of you post is a bit vague - ( video description at to of screen like Hybrid) - Need a bit more Info

[jmh2002]

Will work on the OSD Volume... I agree they should be the same in Video & Audio.

Thank you

Anyone got any preferences on order of buttons - eg: Defaults to subtitles button

An option to set is probably best to cater fo everyone, however if not, then yes defaulting to the Subtitle button I think. See my reasoning here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1472657

Re your Radio AddOn.... Don't think there's much I can do - but will check on passing variables when playing from favourites.

I thought as much and suspected it was XBMC itself rather than the skin. But thanks for checking

[jmh2002]

@Mudislander: what do you think about having the ability to hide the Favourites button (in the lower left corner) instead of / in addition to the Power button (for those of us that already have Favourites as part of the Home Menu) ?
