Theme: BasicHome goes Classic with Backdrops | NEW: Editor available (4 Viewers)

[Zoidberg77]

V2.5
Added: BasicHome.CONFIG.xml - All settings in one file (except <defaultcontrol>)
Added: 5-day weather forecast overlay (requires WorldWeather plugin) (taken from @powermarcel10 skin files, thanks!)
Added: Overlays can now easily be asigned to any label
Changed: Transfered all definitions from all other xml files to BasciHome.CONFIG.xml

The whole configuration can now be made in only one file: BasicHome.CONFIG.xml. Only your default label has still to be adjusted inside of BasicHome.xml.
This should be more comfortable for upcoming updates or any (in far future) upcoming editor
If you find any errors please report.

Just a heads up for 1.3 RC. The font b22 no longer exists in TITAN, so either you will have to supply your own fonts.xml (if that even works as a theme resource) or do what I did, change the defines in BasicHome.xml to:

<define>#labelFont:font14</define>
<define>#selectedFont:fontB20</define>

IMHO, this looks great.

Cheers
Emph

V2.5.1
Fixed: Main menu font: from fontB22 to fontB20 to meet recent changes in Titan skin
Changed: Alignment of submenu labels: changed from left to center

Note: There is no change to BasicHome.CONFIG.xml. So please backup your config file and copy it back after update so all customization will stay as they were (except for defaultcontrol in BasicHome.xml)

Is there any way to remove menu items? For instance I do not need the Pictures and Music buttons.

Unfortunately not (without a lot of work). A lot of visible conditions, navigation IDs and coordinates would have to be adjusted. I'm sorry.
As a workaround you could assign some items twice.

How does it work if an official update is available?

Does this work and the files are getting overwritten?

Or if I use this MOD the update function is disabled?

You can still update the rest of the skin.

If the modded files are in the main skin folder, then any updates to modded files will overwrite them.
If the modded files are in a theme folder, then any updates will not change the modded files.

Is it possible to add a LatestMedia for Mvcentral ?

tnx

I don't use mvCentral. But you could try these (untested) files. It's just the design of the LatestMusic overlay with cover thumbs only.

Following code is added

Spoiler

BasicHome.xml:

<include condition="#Overlay.LatestMvCentral.visible">BasicHome.LatestMvCentral.xml</include>

BasicHome.CONFIG.xml:

<!-- Overlay for MvCentral -->
	<define property="true">#Overlay.LatestMvCentral.visible:True</define>
	<define property="true">#Overlay.LatestMvCentral.onlabel:LABEL0</define>
