Does anyone know how to set the default viewtype for the whole skin?
I'm talking about "List, "Posters", "Widelist" and so on
It seems to me that some categories (e.g. movies) have some default viewtype defined, and that's ok, because it's usually the most sensible viewtype for that category
What I'd like is to change the default viewtype for the areas that have no viewtype defined. It looks to me that the default viewtype, where no other viewtype has been defined by default, is "List". I would very much like to change that to "Widelist"
For example, in the TED Talks addon, when I go to Topics, I get all topics in "List" view. I know I can change that manually to Widelist and it gets saved, but it gets tedious after a while to have to change every single new screen
I went to look in the XML folder of the skin to see if I could find the place where the default viewtype is defined. But I don't have much (read: any) experience with skinning so I couldn't find it. I don't even know if the default viewtype is defined in any of those xml files
Could anyone tell me if it's possible to do that, either by editing an xml file or via some other method?
Thanks
