Quick Skinning Question (Removing preview thumbs) (1 Viewer)

[Doobinsky]

I've been dabbling with skin editing the past two days trying to make the Foofaraw 16:9 skin a little more aesthetic with TVSeries and MyFilms.

The only thing i cant figure out is how to remove the small preview thumbnails when you are at the episode listing of a series' season. Its not the big preview above but the small previews attached to each episode on the list that are my problem. Since the bars in the list are thinner than BlueTwo these previews are miniscule and just look bad there.

I tried messing with the TVSeries.xml with no luck, but i suspect i need to change some specific code at the end of TVSeries (in the List/Graphical View Section). Can anyone help me figure it out?



I'm attaching the TVseries.xml I have for Foofaraw (made by Spuck).

After more inspection i think its something in the references.xml I need to change I will keep trying...

<IconXOff>1000</IconXOff>
Works here.

Thanks, been trying to work out how to remove them altogether

This moves them off screen for me.

Thanks man that did it, changed the first instance in the reference.xml file.

If you change it here to 1000 (line 888 in your TVSeries you attached); then it will only remove it for TV Series. (I think if you change it in reference.xml, it will affect anywhere else in the skin that an icon is used in a list like that, could be wrong though! )

          <description>graphical list (series and seasons if set)</description>
          <type>listcontrol</type>
          <subtype>album</subtype>
					<id>50</id>
					<posX>756</posX>
					<posY>110</posY>
					<width>600</width>
					<height>600</height>
					<IconXOff>1000</IconXOff>
					<IconYOff>5</IconYOff>

That was the first thing I tried, but it doesn't work. Messing with that value messes up my Series view and leave episodes the same.

The only way I found in my case was to change <iconxoff> in the reference.xml Since I only use MyFilms/MyTVSeries and DVD Player in my MP it doesn't screw anything else up.

When you are done with your Mods then can you post them as would like to try them out as well if that is okay. For me TvSeries and MyFilms are only real requirements and I am always looking for a nicely implemented set.

I've looked back at my one for SimpleMP and I think what I suggested above was incorrect anyway; its should be under text list not album.

But your foofaraw xml is slightly different, think the episode lists are based on the older 9-line text list layout, and doesn't have the <IconXOff>9999</IconXOff> line. Maybe adding that would do it as well.

Here's mine. Anyway if changing reference.xml works for you, then stick to that.

				<control>
					<description>text list</description>
					<type>listcontrol</type>
					<id>50</id>
					<textureHeight>30</textureHeight> <!--Derek: was 60 -->
					<itemWidth>65</itemWidth>
					<itemHeight>45</itemHeight>
					<IconXOff>9999</IconXOff> <!--Derek: was 10 -->
					<IconYOff>7</IconYOff>
