OK... I removed the global search add-on and the search bar on the home screen is gone indeed now .

BigNoid, is it possible at present to have the recently added widget match the smart playlist you add it to (in the home screen)? I have two movie smart playlists - but the widget just seems to feed off the general movie database when I add it. You said that might be possible somewhere in the future before Gotham went stable, so I was wondering if I was missing something or just looking for something that isn't there. Thanks

Make a smart playlist with condition "recently added" for the playlist in question (You would then have a default and recently added version of the same playlist). You can then create a widget based off that new playlist.

No response? I made a mock-up of what the mod would look like below. I set-up this skin for my father and he likes to look at the year and IMDB rating to assist in choosing a movie. And, unfortunately, icons is the only true movie wall in this skin and it doesn't contain any rating or year information.

You need to change the file %appdata%\XBMC\addons\skin.aeon.nox.5\1080i\variables.xml.

On line 326 (or search for FloorSubLabelVar)

Change from

Code:

    <variable name="FloorSubLabelVar">
        <value condition="Container.Content(episodes)">$INFO[ListItem.TvShowTitle]</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(addons)">$INFO[ListItem.Property(Addon.Summary)]</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(musicvideos)">$INFO[ListItem.Artist]</value>
        <value>$INFO[ListItem.Genre]</value>
    </variable>

to

Code:

    <variable name="FloorSubLabelVar">
        <value condition="Container.Content(episodes)">$INFO[ListItem.TvShowTitle]</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(addons)">$INFO[ListItem.Property(Addon.Summary)]</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(musicvideos)">$INFO[ListItem.Artist]</value>
        <value condition="Control.IsVisible(500) + Container.Content(movies)">$INFO[ListItem.Year,, • ]$INFO[ListItem.RatingAndVotes,, • ]$INFO[ListItem.Duration,, $LOCALIZE[12391]]</value>
        <value>$INFO[ListItem.Genre]</value>
    </variable>

Thanks for your help. The end result is posted below. Is it possible to increase the font size? I find the label a bit too small. It should be closer in size to the example above. A slight offset from below the title or a bold font might also improve the appearance, but that could be nitpicking.



Adding the same line with "Control.IsVisible(57)" seems to add the label to Shift view as well, but both could use a bump in text size or a bold font. This is where I am now:

Code:

<variable name="FloorSubLabelVar">
        <value condition="Container.Content(episodes)">$INFO[ListItem.TvShowTitle]</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(addons)">$INFO[ListItem.Property(Addon.Summary)]</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(musicvideos)">$INFO[ListItem.Artist]</value>
        <value condition="Control.IsVisible(500) + Container.Content(movies)">$INFO[ListItem.Year,, • ]$INFO[ListItem.RatingAndVotes,, • ]$INFO[ListItem.Duration,, $LOCALIZE[12391]]</value>
        <value condition="Control.IsVisible(57) + Container.Content(movies)">$INFO[ListItem.Year,, • ]$INFO[ListItem.RatingAndVotes,, • ]$INFO[ListItem.Duration,, $LOCALIZE[12391]]</value>
        <value>$INFO[ListItem.Genre]</value>
    </variable>

I'll host a copy of the XML on Google Drive when it's finished in case anyone else is interested in this label.
