Looks really nice. Yes please do share the file. I just had my first day off and should finish uploading everything to the GitHub today. I added your three lines for text and more views with fanart. Also have the clearlogo set bigger. Home set to 60, views to 50.
Is that your setup with the TV and sound bar? If so it looks amazing. Is that a Samsung TV? How's the sound bar sound?
It’s an LG C8 OLED TV. The soundbar is an LG ATMOS SK9Y. Still love the TV but the soundbar is mixed. Really love the front sound but I guess I was a bit hopeful thinking you’d get decent upward firing ATMOS from a soundbar but then again, there is a noticeable difference with ATMOS content. Sidefiring speakers don’t really give you a great sense of surround in my living room but it’s OK. Again, probably being too hopeful when it’s just a soundbar. Think you can add rear speakers if you want proper 5.1. If it was cheaper, I’d be very happy with it.
About the XML’s, I’m not sure to be honest. I’ve had to make small changes to a few xml’s just to make the font work which is fine but it only works properly for that particular font. It would take some additional effort to make it work for all the other fonts if you want to keep them. It’s mainly because of the height adjustments I made to text boxes to only display 2 lines of text. Other fonts have different line spacing requirements to make them fit. I also completely removed the code for the tagline (just movies).
The MPAA flags need to be added to the extra’s folder in the skin which is fine but I’ve removed the code for the original MPAA flag box/text so there’s no fallback and no user options to change them. Remember this is a UK rating system so probably not going to be of interest to a lot of people. I’ve made a few other small changes relevant to me like changing the text colour in the xml’s rather than via the settings menu so custom colour settings may not work as expected. And god knows what else I’ve messed around with in my rumblings!
I think the best thing would be to share the relevant .pngs and font files and then some relevant lines of code (Which I never even bothered to take note of!) in the xml’s rather than the whole xml’s I guess. Then maybe you can work your magic and make it user friendly somehow like adding a user option for the ratings icons?
