I might be rather new to skinning, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it doesn't matter what skin you're using, you will be modifying .xml files to make your build. I need a really good tutorial on xml's. I've done some minor changes to myvideonav and advancedsettings, but I want to learn more.
For example, I'm using Xonfluence for my build. I would like to alter a setting located on a sideblade from a particular window. I want to learn the commands so I can read the call from that window to the sideblade, and where the sideblade's .xml file is located so I can modify it.
Yes, I mentioned a particular skin in this thread, but I would assume that xml's work pretty much the same in all skins. I already have the official Kodi wiki page book marked and a separate bookmark directly to the skinning section. Yet, I haven't figure out where it describes how to create a sideblade. I have read how to make a simple .xml that creates a window, but I'm unsure how or where to test this, as I'm a firm believer in hands on learning.
I don't wish for someone to do the work for me. If that was the case I'd install some one else's build and not be bothered learning all this. So any suggestions for reading or perhaps a video tutorial would be greatly appreciated.
