hi

the minimeedia skin uses the following to load up 5 images.

How can I change this code to enable background loading of the thumbs?

Code:

<control type="image">
              <posx>16</posx>
              <posy>0</posy>
              <width>119</width>
              <height>240</height>
              <info>ListItem(-1).Icon</info>
              <texture diffuse="Grey.png"/>
              <include>ListViewThumb</include>
              <animation effect="zoom" time="300" start="0,0,119,240" end="80,-26,145,292">Hidden</animation>
              <visible>Container.OnPrevious</visible>
            </control>

I think this is where stuff should be changed..

Code:

<info>ListItem(-1).Icon</info>
              <texture diffuse="Grey.png"/>

but I cant find any other skins that use (-1) and (-2) to get the previous two thumbs is this the best way to do it? I am trying to mod minmeida to increase scrolling fps..

add background="true" to the texture tag ie <texture background="true">

add background="true" to the texture tag ie <texture background="true">

I'm gonna go ahead and bump this, not that he didn't get his answer, but because i'm about to flip my floppers off in a serious ADD-attack.

My problem is that i don't know where to input those lines, where the flonkers is the file? What file? The file where i add background="true" to get smoother scrolling with thumbs and/or fanart.

GDI i'm pi**ed off right now!

Thanks for your help and understanding! Have a nice weekend!

it's not just a single setting in some file.
you'll have to modify the xml files of the skin you're using.

background="true" has to be specified for each and every thumb/fanart image
you want to load in the background.

in general, the code would be:

Code:

<control type="image">
    ..
    <texture background="true">foo.jpg</texture>
</control>

Thank you Ronie!

Im using back-row and want to load the movie cover thumbs so that it runs smoother. How would one do that? Just point me to the right file and im sure i can figure it out

I think you'll find that it already uses it.

my guess would be Common Video Library Views.xml,
but best ask for help in the backrow forum to make sure.

If you want to speed things up then use DDS for textures -
