skinning --> full screen menu

djScript · 10-29-2004, 12:16 AM

Is there a way to put track info in the full screen menu, not the status bar? But if there's a way to move the status bar somewhere else on the screen (left, top ??), that'll be good too.

Here's the full screen menu I'm working on. Basically, the status bar is integrated into it:

I just finished the background and xm menu:

that would be awesome

pretty nice, i like that alot

That looks really good, I like it.
Regarding the status bar, I don't think there is a way to move it from the top, I may be wrong though. I looked in the .ini files and there is notting there to set the position of the bar, I believe you can only change the height. But I would look really nice to have it the way you have it setup.

It seems like I'm also going to have a problem with the DVD menu. My plan was to keep the position of the volume buttons consistent though all screens. Here's my menu and shutdown screens:

Sorry I dont have an answer,
But damn, not you left me anxiously awaiting a release of a skin for frodoplayer. Thanks...Please release it...

Very good work! Love the way you keep the menus in same position... Great!

That XM screen is awesome, would be much better to have the song info at the bottom.

djScript · 10-30-2004, 02:24 PM

Here's XM Direct running. I can't figure out why the LCD font (track info) doesn't show on my carputer. It works fine on my home and work PCs.

I really like how it comming along. The only problem I see is, that I don't think you would be able to use any of the audio functions on these two skins. You will be able to display the bottom section of the skin on the screen but none of the buttons will work nor will the song info be displayed. I just wanted to give you a heads up. I'm pretty sure about this, but I am be wrong. Other than that it looking really nice.

Yes you can use the audio functions on those skins

. All the buttons are functional. I'm already running it on my car. I'm not done with the other screens though.

Well I stand corrected. So the play, stop, vol -, vol +, label_time etc etc... all work in the main menu and in the shutdown menu. I thought there you couldn't add your own functions into the .ini files to add features.

djScript · 10-31-2004, 09:15 PM

Oh, and the song info also gets displayed/updated as well. You can actually "Keep Menu Open Until Clicked" and still be able to use the audio controls.

I didn't have to add functions. The skins for menu and shutdown are actually just the upper part. The controls are from the background skin.

Quattro · 10-31-2004, 09:18 PM

I think I know what your doing now. Is the main menu and the shutdown menu the whole screen or is the bottom section for the skin (audio functions) from the main skin and the main menu is an overlay up to the bottom section on the main skin.
