Are you sick of getting updates so fast yet lol.

Are you sick of getting updates so fast yet lol.

Sry, but I didn't hear ever of 'fast enough'...[emoji6]
Thanks for your effort, because I was kinda sick of Titanius.
Apollo is like breaking free!

 

[schwarzrz]

Yes, a great skin.
But once again trapped by doing the update to fast = Rename the tile etc, choose the plugins, make the setting weather enable in Homescreen, Colours in the TV Guide, Highlight the border...

Please let me know, if there is a file to back up the configuration, so that i just have to change the file to get my settings.

 

[Fafnir]

For me just one thing would be interesting: is there a fast and easy way to have the home screen not starting with tvseries but with another place, music or tv for example?

Regards Fafnir

You asked the same question 2 pages ago (and got the answer):

Would you like me to add bugs back in lol ?

Regards Fafnir

Yep in the top of basichome.xml
<defaultcontrol>3</defaultcontrol>

Change the number relevant to the menu item e.g. TV is 4

I might actually make that a setting so user can choose which menu to start on.

 

[emphatic]

You could use the include tag so that the settings can be stored in something like a Basichome.Settings.xml file, like the Backdropped theme does for TITAN.

In Basichome.xml you import the user defined stuff like this:

    <include>BasicHome.CONFIG.xml</include>

Then inject them dynamically like this:

    <control>
      <description>LABEL0_0</description>
      <type>button</type>
      <id>1700</id>
      <posX>0</posX>
      <posY>-30</posY>
      <label>#menu0.label</label>
      <width>320</width>
      <height>72</height>
      <textureFocus>-</textureFocus>
      <textureNoFocus>-</textureNoFocus>
      <hyperlink>#menu0.link</hyperlink>
     <hyperlinkParameter>#menu0.parameter</hyperlinkParameter>
      <hover>-</hover>
      <onleft>1807</onleft>
      <onright>1701</onright>
      <onup>#menu0.onup</onup>
     <ondown>12</ondown>
      <visible>Control.IsVisible(1700)</visible>
      <animation effect="fade" time="300">WindowOpen</animation>
      <animation effect="fade" time="200">WindowClose</animation>
    </control>

Basichome.Settings.xml
