Xbmc Skin Editing
« on: November 24, 2004, 06:53:00 PM »
I searched for skin editing and couldnt find anything. I am trying to find out if its possible to edit a skin for xbmc. For example, i wanted to make another tab in the main menu so in the XML file i found where the icon for the buttons where.

I am using Project Mayhem 2. Here in my example it shows the icon as "102" which i assume is the image of the mouse looking picture for My Programs. I couldnt find any file or images in the skin folder or the xbmc folder for that matter that resembled this or an image of this.

       <button>
           <description>My Programs</description>
           <label>0</label>
           <execute>XBMC.ActivateWindow(1)</execute>
           <icon>102</icon>
       </button>

I just want to know if its possible to change or edit the skin in any way like this. Thanks.  <

They're compressed into Textures.xpr.

The filename is defined in home.xml inside the skin directory.

If you place a file with the appropriate name in the media folder of the skin, it will use that instead of the one in Textures.xpr.

You can get the original (uncompressed) images for Project Mayhem from XBMC's CVS.  <
