Basichome (Aeon) MOD for StreamedMP! (2 Viewers)

[Vergo]

A. INTRO
======
First of all, I absolutely love this skin. I switched over from the Aeon Wide skin and never came back.
However, I kinda missed the horizontal BasicHome from Aeon, so I adjusted that xml to be compatible with StreamedMP.
So basically, I recreated a menu background and adjusted the basichome xml file to combine the two.
Mind you, the screenshots are 1024x768 but this was created for 1280x720 (like all of StreamedMP) and looks perfect widescreen.

I'm actually quite happy with the result, and if anyone is interested, I will be happy to post the files.
The only downside is that I used Dutch translations to base my xml file on, so you'll have to replace that using Notepad if you want it differently...

B. CREDITS
========
* Team Razorfish for their fantastic skin
* Spuck, Matssk88 and ltfearme for their fantastic port
* Psycho Reptile for the Aeon Wide skin, on whose Basichome.xml this mod was based on.

D. INSTALLATION
=============
* Copy Basichome.xml & common.overlay.basichome.xml to \skin\StreamedMP
* Copy mymenu_bg.png & mymenu_submenu.png to \skin\StreamedMP\Media

As I am unable to provide (let alone create) a Basichome generator,
you'll either have to change stuff manually or wait for someone to make a generator.
If you just want to translate the items, I suggest you do a search & replace in
Notepad, e.g.:
Weer --> Weather
Muziek --> Music

If you want to change tabs, you'll have to replace the <hyperlink> data, ask for help in the forum.

E. NOTES
=========
* If your basichome menu looks cramped, you can adjust the height of font "mediastream28tc" from <height>30</height> to <height>28</height> in the fonts.xml file

Hey I'd be interested in that, though I'll need to translate it to English. Can you post the files here or pm me? Thanks.

 

[Vergo]

I uploaded the files to the first post, just download MOD.zip and copy files to the right directory.
Good luck =)

Great job!! Thats exactly what I was looking for!

 

[Vergo]

I did some more finetuning, as suggested by explodedk, e.g. centering the "Now Playing" on the basichomescreen.
Download Mod_V2 to update ;-)

 

[buddman]

Thanks Vergo. I'll take a look at it later this week.

Really Great But how to add Buttons to MoviePictures and my TV? Have I to translate every weer entry to weather or only one?

 

[Vergo]

Well, actually, "FILMS" refers to the Movingpictures plugin.
To translate, just do a "search and replace" in notepad, replacing all "weer" entries with "weather"
