Skin engine enhancements (themes, guide colors, skin functions, weather settings...) (4 Viewers)

Well, the bottom line is that they can be hidden by editing the xml, which isn't too difficult and there are plenty of people who can help.

The trouble is, if we change something that has always been there, many people will demand that we put it straight back.

That's cool. I'd looked into this before and thought it was hardcoded somewhere as I couldn't find an .xml for it, but if there is one that I can edit that's great. Could you tell me which file it is please?

Hi

Found a bug when the skin directory is not in %PROGRAMDATA%

Setting Guide settings in section TV-Client look for SkinSettings.xml in %PROGRAMDATA%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Skin\<skinname>

and not directory specified in MediaPortalDirs.xml

Solution:

public static string SkinName
- set dir according to specified in MediaPortalsDir.xml and not CommonApplicationData

private static bool ReadConfig(string configDir)
- set Selectedskindir according to skindirectory and skinname

Hi,

You haven't replied to tell me which xml should be edited to change the shutdown menu options. Could you please tell me?

Hi doveman, it´s hardcoded in MP using standard dialog, so nothing to change/hide

Ah, OK thanks. I won't waste my time looking for it then

I'll start a new thread to discuss whether the shutdown menu should be changed.

EDIT: Done https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/modify-shutdown-menu.109179/ if anyone want's to take a look and discuss.

It is not possible to use skin variables for x,y positions. Due to the way skin x,y positions are handled it is. It likely to be supported anytime soon. Sorry.
