Hi Paranoidjack,

beautiful minimalistic modification, I like it, good job.
In a week I want introduce my four Mods variants of Home of Eminence with some extra variations.
There are certain similarities (parallels) between your and one of my modifications.

Best Regards

Can you please post the XML and the Icons?

+3 Please post your XML. I like how you moved the text inside the tiles allowing a full transparent BG and no washed-out text.

This is what I have so far, although I am looking to remove the 'floor' under the tiles.

Looks good .. looking forward to seeing the final result

That looks fantastic and would be perfect for me if i could change the colour of each individual menu tab/block and move the time and weather to the bottom right and the movies and episode counter to the bottom right. Just not have anythign across the top. Then it would be the perfect skin for me. Oh well,i can hope

@dave157

to remove the "floor" edit "Includes_Home.xml" and delete this:

Code:

<include name="Short-Home-BG-Y">
        <posy>67r</posy>
        <width>1919</width>
        <height>65</height>
        <texturefocus>common/white2.png</texturefocus><!- תמונת רקע אריחים-->
        <texturenofocus>common/white2.png</texturenofocus><!- תמונת רקע אריחים-->
</include>
<include name="Tall-Home-BG-Y">
        <posy>376r</posy>
        <texturefocus colordiffuse="HomeBarBG">common/white2.png</texturefocus>
        <texturenofocus colordiffuse="HomeBarBG">common/white2.png</texturenofocus>
</include>

or simply delete or rename the "white2.png" in "common" folder.

Thx avia & mattyspurs76 for the compliments. Orionics, thx, I was able to remove the floor as per your post. I wanted to see if you or anyone else could tell me how to rename one of the powermenu functions. I was able to edit the dialogbuttonmenu.xml and `converted` the reload skin to restart app ( cmd RestartApp) and it works perfectly but it still has reload skin label/title/text. I`ll post a pic in a few mins.

[dave157]

Here's what I was mentioning...

@dave157

I understand (see) not really, where is the "problem".
What do you mean with restart app, Kodi?

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, I wanted to rename the reload skin option on my power menu to restart or even just reload without the 'skin' in the title/text.

@dave157

open DialogButtonMenu.xml

go to:

Code:

<control type="button" id="3121">
         <description>Reload Skin</description>
         <include>DefContextMenuButton</include>
         <label>20183</label>
         <onclick>ReloadSkin()</onclick>
</control>

and change to:

Code:

<control type="button" id="3121">
         <description>Reload Skin</description>
         <include>DefContextMenuButton</include>
         <label>Reload</label>
         <onclick>ReloadSkin()</onclick>
</control>

Here some information about "label control" in Kodi (see point "4. Available tags" about "label"):
Label control in Kodi

and here about "built-in functions" in Kodi (see point "1. List of functions"):

... and what about your new "Power Menu", does it work well or not?
I hope, it works!
