Big List View?
« on: June 07, 2006, 06:31:00 PM »

Is it possible to enable Big List view in either music or videos with MC 360? I've seen screens of other skins with it, but no instructions of how to do it, so I'm not sure if it's skin specific.

thanks in advance.

Easiest thing in the world, there is a row of buttons on the left side of the screen, see the top button, VIEW AS: :LIST etc, press it a few times it will change to VIEW AS: BIG ICONS.

Close, but not quite. I can't find the screens of it I saw earlier, but basically "big list" is like big icons, with the text and ratings and other info to the right of the icons. Makes it much easier to go through a large list from the couch.

I'm trying every kind of search I can think of, and all I can find is mentions of fixing the view in CVS, but no screenshots (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif).

I'm hoping someone knows how to implement this in MC360 if it isn't already. Any info is appreciated.

i understand
i would love that too, from 10+ feet you really cant read the list (maybe in the future when u scroll it will zoom in)
 the icons takes way to long if you have a lot of titles(maybe if it would show 15 icons instead of 9)

I would like to see the list font when your scrolling thru at least 3 times the size cuz most of my stuffs in alph order

great skin though been playin around with it all day if this is just the 1st release its sure to get better

if i find anything bout makin the list font bigger ill post back

I finally found a screenie:

(IMG:http://japhule.collinsreport.com/avs/xbmc/5.jpg)

there's a brief discussion about it in this X-S topic

Is this doable in MC360? I think with the usable real estate for actual icons in the different blades, it would probably look the best. It seems this is a very under-used feature.

I would also love this...  The icons view is ok, but this is better. I don't have the time to do learn and do it however.

I just thought you might be intertested in my little find... even though Blackbolt will need to do some work on the skin for it to function properly.

Go to videos, select "Switch view" select "Title" (so you're viewing by Title) Then go up to the option box above Switch view and set it to "Sort by: Rating", finally, go to "View: List" and click it 3 times... See Big List?!  It's been there all along!  Project Mayhem III supports this feature much better, but hopefully Blackbolt & Co. will be able to include this in their next beta.  (I hope, I hope, I hope...)

Great, works fine now!

Is there any way to let there be extra info in the empty part, like imdb plot outline or something. Or should I take it to the xbmc forum?
