Select "Manage Screen" and select to create a new screen.
There are a number of templates available, if you after you have selected a new screen select the "Customize configuration" option at the bottom, you get to see the raw XML. You can step back with the back button in the web browser, change some option and click Next to see the difference in the XML. There is a separate "Mail" and "MythTV" plugin in my test repository which contains some extra templates. See bottom link on this page: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeCenter_Repositories You create and edit the screens through the Information Screen settings page in the SBS web interface. The basic principles of the XML are: - skin: One of "getClockStyles" or "getStandardStyles" - style: One of the following values if skin="getStandardStyles": -- InformationScreenThreeLineText: Three lines of text -- InformationScreenThreeLineTextBlack: Three lines of text black background -- InformationScreenOriginalImage: Full screen image without zooming -- InformationScreenOriginalImageBlack: Full screen image without zooming, black background -- InformationScreenImage: Resized full screen image -- InformationScreenImageBlack: Resized full screen image, black background -- InformationScreenTwoImages: Resized two images -- InformationScreenTwoImagesBlack: Resized two images, black background -- InformationScreenSixImages: Resized six images -- InformationScreenSixImagesBlack: Resized six images, black background - style: One of the following values if skin="getClockStyles": -- InformationScreenClock: Big clock -- InformationScreenClockBlack: Big clock, black background -- InformationScreenClockAndNowPlaying: Big clock with now playing info -- InformationScreenClockAndNowPlayingBlack: Big clock with now playing info - style: Can also be one of the standard styles registered by other applets, for example "nowplaying" which is used by the Now Playing screen - preprocessing: Indicates that some preprocessing on the server should happen, possible values are: -- function: Calls a perl function in a plugin -- keyword: A title format keyword -- datetime: Current date/time -- artwork: Artwork of currently playing track - preprocessingData: Arguments used for extra data, depends on "preprocessing" element - item: A new item that should be shown on the screen - type: Type of item, can be one of: -- simplemenu: A menu -- label: A text -- text: Text, don't remember what differs it from "label" -- slider: A slider -- defaultleftbutton: Left navigation button -- defaultrightbutton: Right navigation button -- button: Button -- icon: An icon/image -- group: A group of other "item" -- menuitem: A menu item in "simplemenu" Unfortunately there isn't much documentation available, hopefully I get some time to improve it in the future. For now, I think the best way is to look at the XML of the different templates. The Now Playing template is a pretty advanced one. I suspect it might be a bit hard if you like to do a screen that's totally different than any of the templates available. Also note that different "style" value requires different structure of "item" elements. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67422 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
