nvaia Wrote:If you look at djh's original screenshots (below) you will see that the individual labels, TV shows in this case, are the length of the screen and seem to blend in.DJH posted later screenshots with a different homepage layout (not even using these icons (which are copyrighted to someone else and imho should be removed from git)).
Is there a quick fix for this or is this something that will be coded in over time?

If you ask me the later screenshots are much better and more appropriate for the Alaska skin.

Go to guisettings.xml.
Change for example the line that has "Alaska.custommovies" in it, to:
Code:<setting type="string" name="Alaska.custommovies">/Users/htpc/Pictures/Backdrops/Movies/</setting>
Of course, use your own path to some movie pictures.
It works here (although the pictures look stretched/cropped or something)

stoli Wrote:This works like a charm and you can edit the includes.xml to change the default behavior from "stretch" to "scale" to maintain the aspect ratio:
Code:<include name="Object_MainMenuIconF">
<width>349</width>
<height>300</height>
<posx>10</posx>
<posy>10</posy>
<timeperimage>20000</timeperimage>

<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="400">Hidden</animation>
</include>
But that results in the image showing beneath the frame:
Another example:
Anyone have an idea of how to get around this, short of resizing the images to match the aspect ratio of the frame?
Thanks,

But it's probably better you have them than me. It's about 450mb in total so I'll leave them uploading to Mediafire overnight.
There's some stuff like this in there:
I'd strongly recommend discretion when using this stuff. A lot of it's just me mucking about and would be either impossible in XBMC or not particularly beneficial. Anyway, it's up to you.

That being said, the guisettings.xml is usually in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\UserData (on windows, obviously) You can just enter %appdata% if the Explorer address bar in you can't browse to it.
