[MOD] FusionMP (StreamedMP with Aeon elements) (2 Viewers)

[trevor]

You didnt have previous experience with c# & VS? You sure picked it up quick!

Spent 12odd yrs programming, and once a programmer always a programmer - just a matter of learning the language and tools and I have to say Visual Studio does make a pretty easy - had dabbled a bit of the past 2yrs so was not totally cold - still a long way to go though....

i'm a little bit confused at the moment - do i simply have to download your editor or also some special basichome files?

It is getting this way, to start from scratch you will need the Editor and the AeonSupportFiles archives.

The support files contains the most of the required gfx and the aditional xmls for weather & infoservice.

The editor archive has the editor and some additional gfx for the 2nd generation (aeon 2 Style) menu.

Will look at updating the Google Code site and producing a single archive or maybe an installer.

Thanks

Wait a while longer, I am in the process of combining the functions into a single editor for both default and Aeon look along with the ability to reconfigure the skin layout, Default vs Fanart, TVGuide options, rounded covers etc..

I have let ltfearme know what I am upto so maybe it will make it into Skin distribution.

Cheers

Great!

Is it possible to add some animation to the basichome? at the moment when you select an item it takes 500ms-1,5s and then it switches to the next screen it would be nice if we have some animation after selecting an item. What do you think?

Guess it does having just looked, it's an idea and can add it easy enough - will stick it on the list

I've forgotten something basic & it's driving me mental. This is slightly off-topic, so forgive me.

Where on Earth are the folders that provide backgrounds when in basic home? I've decided to play round with a couple & cant for the life of me find them. I have no idea why cos I must have changed these images a million times!

EDIT: Found them. It always throws me them being the folder called 'animation' cos they're arent really animation!

Currently only by editing fonts.xml - may be able to do something in the editor....

Currently the entry is this.

<font>
<name>mediastream28tc</name>
<filename>Univers LT 59 UltraCondensed</filename>
<height>48</height>
<start>0</start>
<end>1536</end>
<bold>no</bold>
</font>

Just tested and I changed the height to 36 without issue, test stays centered but the bar does not shrink to fit ...would be eaiser if there was not a limit on the number of fonts that can be defined....would allow me some sizeing options then. I had to nick one of the streamedmp fonts for the aeon2 style..not the best approach..
