Hi Guys,
I've been doing a little customisation on my favorite skin recently but I've hit a wall with what I thought was going to be something simple (but then again I'm only starting to get to grips with skinning so that's hardly surprising ).
Is there any way to add either a fixed thumbnail/ icon or a custom set of icons to the "Year" database view in MyVideos?
When in list view if I filter by "year" the missing cover image appears (at least on the skins I've tried) however, if I switch to any other view (Icons, Big Icons, Filmstrip & Coverflow) you just see an emply mask. No missing cover image or anything.
To make matters worse, my prefered skin doesn't enable item text by default (<renderFocusText> & <renderUnfocusText> both set to no). I've rectified this but it still isn't very nice to look at .
What I'd ideally like to do is have the "Years" view support a custom thumbnail folder like "Genre's" does. I would happily put in the work to create a set of calendar based icons for a century or so (sad I know ). If this requires changes to the main code (guessing it would) then I'd happily accept a single generic calendar icon appearing for all years or even the "missing coverart" icon (this could be modified so it wouldn't look so bad).
I appreciate that this is a very trivial thing in the grand scheme of things but any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and all the best,
Mick.
