edit: I either got around these, or don't care about them anymore. DON'T RESPOND!



I got stuck at these. I'm not a skinner, just mostly moving things around.

1. How do I fix the negative value on <top> cutting the center poster? I tried augmenting the heights, but it didn't help.
2. How do I set the fanart as the background?

edit: I got an image displaying in the background, but

Code:

        <control type="image">
                  <texture background="true">C:/Program Files (x86)/Kodi (Video)/portable_data/addons/skin.copacetic/background/single/VTS_01_0.IFO_015953.826.jpg</texture>
        </control>

not the fanart, still don't understand how to call it.

3. With the focuslayout I can change the values for the center element, but how can I set a different height/width for the others ones, so I can achieve this?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<includes>

    <include name="Viewtype_520_RowPoster">
        <control type="image">
                  <include>FullscreenDimensions</include>

Look at the wiki for infolabels for images.

For the fanart part, you need to use:

Code:

$INFO[ListItem.Art(fanart)]

Thanks! I tried that one but it still doesn't render it. Well, at least know I know it's a valid command. So I guess this grey background is being retrieved from somewhere else in the skin and is being placed on top of it, maybe... I'll try seeing how to remove it.

edit: oh my god, it has been working all this time - it's just that "fanart.jpEg" was not accepted...
