What about we change the type of the tv main menu from 'tv' to e.g. 'tv main', so you can set the info area for the two menus seperate. I just changed the skin code to do that. Now you can define menusets for each type (tv, video, audio, image, games) and 'type main menu' were type is one of the types above. If the extra main menu isn't there, the skin will fallback to the type instead. If a type is not defined, the skin will fall back to one of the default menus. Possible default menus are 1. 'default': it should have an image and listing area 2. 'default no image': no item has an image, e.g. when you select the headlines plugin 3. 'default description': one or more items also have a description. 4. 'default description no image': has description but no image 2 and 3 have a fallback to 1, 4 fallbacks to 3 or if 3 is not defined to 1. Happy skinning. One last thing: each info area should have a handling for the type default showing the attribute 'description'. Each item may have one. And if you select the title menu for dvds, the item type is 'track', you can print some usefull infos here like runtime, num of chapters, subtitles, audio language, etc. See the other skins for details.

What about inherit a class from Directory in the file where the recordered show dir is added? Makes it cleaner I think. I suppose it could work that way, but I don't want it just for directories, I can do that easily with the skins. I want it for item type=dir and item type=menuitem You need to change drawstringframed in osd I guess. I think drawstringframed is supposed tos, but as far as I can tell, it's not working anymore. It says that it does in the osd.py '- string: the string to be drawn. Supports '\n' and '\t' too.' So you want to make it possible to display a toolbox in the viewer and than use LEFT and RIGHT to select an option? Maybe :) I'm just thining right now. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.

I don't like the disk space indicator stuff, because I don't like stuff that makes you think computer since I'm trying to design for an appliance o add a title area with visible=idlebar. It does nothing when you use the idlebar, but it shows the title when not (it looks kind of empty for me on the top) I can do that... would it be just like this? title visible=not idlebar layout=title0 x=10 y=10 width=780 height=60/ And it looks like noone likes my image listing view :-(. BTW, there is a bug in the skin engine. Some runtime values already have a 'min' in the name, so sometimes I see this twice. We should think of a solution. Well, I hardcoded 'min' in there, but I imagine some FXD files may have it. Though, I've never been able to get the runtime out of an FXD file (or the title) (See my email about Open Issues for that) The problem with the image views for me is that it's easier to read then it is to recognize an image. For albums, it would be ideal to have a mixture: [ ] Artist [ cover ] Album (Year) [ ] Total Playtime And browse through those multi-line items... And do you have a nice idea for the audio and image menu, too? For the audio yes, image, not exactly. For audio, I just want to show directory properties, but while I've written an mp3 dir function, I don't know if it'll be fast enough. For the image menu, I'm not too sure. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
