Anyone Want The Weather Back?
« on: June 07, 2006, 11:30:00 AM »
Hi,

I know some people and also myself love the new skin but miss having the weather on view.

Im new to this but have had a play around today and modified the Home.xml script so that instead of the gamercard we have the weather back. I have left the area as a button so when clicked will give you the detailed weather info.

Basically replace the GAMERTAG section in Home.xml with this:


      <controlgroup id="50">

      <control>
         <description>GamerCard Button</description>
         <type>button</type>
         <id>4</id>
         <posx>156</posx>
         <posy>77</posy>
         <width>262</width>
         <height>125</height>
         <onleft>1</onleft>
         <onright>2</onright>
         <onup>11</onup>
         <ondown>5</ondown>
         <onclick>ActivateWindow(Weather)</onclick>
         <pulseonselect>no</pulseonselect>
         <visible>!Control.HasFocus(1) + !Control.HasFocus(2)</visible>
         <animation effect="fade" time="100">WindowOpen</animation>
      </control>

      
      <control>
         <description>current temp label</description>
         <type>label</type>
         <id>23</id>
         <posx>180</posx>
         <posy>90</posy>
         <label>-</label>
         <info>Weather.Location</info>
         <font>font13</font>
         <textcolor>FF000000</textcolor>
         <include>shadow-grey</include>
         <visible>System.HasNetwork</visible>
         <animation effect="fade" end="0" time="100">WindowClose</animation>
      </control>

      <control>
         <description>current temp static label</description>
         <type>label</type>
         <id>225</id>
         <posx>210</posx>
         <posy>140</posy>
         <font>font18</font>
         <info>Weather.Temperature</info>
         <textcolor>FF000000</textcolor>
         <visible>System.HasNetwork</visible>
         <include>shadow-grey</include>
         <animation effect="fade" end="0" time="100">WindowClose</animation>
      </control>

      <control>
         <description>logo image</description>
         <type>image</type>
         <id>227</id>
         <posx>300</posx>
         <posy>110</posy>
         <width>70</width>
         <height>70</height>
         <info>Weather.Conditions</info>
         <visible>System.HasNetwork</visible>
         <animation effect="fade" end="0" time="100">WindowClose</animation>
      </control>


      <control>
         <description>NO TEMP</description>
         <type>label</type>
         <id>228</id>
         <posx>190</posx>
         <posy>100</posy>
         <font>font13</font>
         <label>Weather Unavailable</label>
         <textcolor>FF000000</textcolor>
         <visible>!System.HasNetwork</visible>
         <include>shadow-grey</include>
         <animation effect="fade" end="0" time="100">WindowClose</animation>
      </control>

      <control>
         <description>NO TEMPS</description>
         <type>image</type>
         <id>229</id>
         <posx>220</posx>
         <posy>120</posy>
         <texture>TWClogo_64px.png</texture>
         <visible>!System.HasNetwork</visible>
         <animation effect="fade" end="0" time="100">WindowClose</animation>
      </control>



I also changed the background in the weather window to match the themes + i did not like orange so changed it to purple as follows:

File: Myweather.xml:
Look for this area. All I changed was filename in the <texture> tags.

      <control>
         <description>Orange Background Static Alpha</description>
         <type>image</type>
         <posx>0</posx>
         <posy>0</posy>
         <width>720</width>
         <height>576</height>
         <visible>!Skin.String(KAI)</visible>
         <texture>background-purple-alpha.png</texture>
         <animation effect="fade" delay="100" time="750" condition="Window.Next(12999)">WindowClose</animation>
      </control>

Hope Blackbolt team dont mind. Its a superb skin...Just needed my Weather at the forefront..

Enjoy..

Thanks! I was going to try doing exactly the same thing when I got the chance later today. Is there enough room in there for the system time too?

To replace it on all Blades you will need to also modify:

Gamercard section in: custom1112_GamesHome.xml
Gamercard section in: custom1113_KAIHome.xml

Then this will replace the gamercard on all blades with the weather.

I am looking into putting different info on the other blades. I was going to replace the gamertag on the Games blade to report disc space and system temps. Maybe ip and network stuff on the XLink blade..

I am new to this.
 I've had Xbmc for sometime but never even looked at how skins were created until today so Im just playing around really. Might have a look into it though..Im not part of the blackbolt team so I hope they implement some peoples ideas that they think will increase the appeal of this skin.

I pasted the following over the mc360 logo section to have the date show instead of the logo. ...I'll work on the time showing later....

<control>

      <info>System.Date</info>
      <align>right</align>
      <font>special12</font>
      <visible>![Player.HasAudio + System.IdleTime(60)]</visible>
      <animation effect="fade" time="1000">VisibleChange</animation>

Hi, Just another little mod for those that want it. This will replace the gamertag on  the GAMES BLADE with time date, disk space, cpu temp etc. Also if you click on it it will take you to the filemanager screen.

Enjoy.  

Replace the GAMERTAG code in custom1112_GamesHome.xml with this:


      <controlgroup id="50">

I'd use this instead of chunks since he forgot to edit in the visible and animation effect to replica the gamertags
