Importing XBMC Skins
I just installed SageTV V7 and decided to play around with the new XBMC skin feature. I tested out two different XBMC skins (Confluence and Rapier) and in both cased they did not load properly in SageTV. To load the skin I go to Detailed Setup Menu ->Advanced. I then go to "SageTV Application Package" and navigate to skin.xml which is located under the XBMC directory for each respective skin. For Confluence the fonts are all white and barely visible around any sort of light background. Also, there are definitely some fonts/textures that are not pulled in. The commands don't work properly (such as navigating back and forth between menus, etc...) and it was very difficult to get back to the detailed setup screen to revert to the original SageTV V7 xml.
With Rapier the screen was mostly black. Just by luck of hitting every button I got the detailed setup menu to appear. Even simple items like "Yes" and "No" show up as jargon. So unfortunately I am 0 for 2 with importing XBMC skins. The hope is that the folks who have tested this feature can do the following: 1) Document exactly what needs to be done to import an XBMC skin 2) Possibly start a list of what skins do/do not work currently 3) Anything else that may be of good info to know, any further customizations that may need to be done once a skin is imported. I realize that V7 was just released and I am not trying to be critical as I imagine all the folks involved have the hands full working on projects. Maybe I am just running into bad luck, but assuming it is not me I figure others will probably have the same issues. It would be helpful to understand exactly how this feature is meant to work, or maybe this feature is meant for developers to build on and create a plugin and not for the user to try and import themselves?

That being said I am converting one and had a poll of which xbmc skin people wanted most in the private beta will repost that poll. This will be a ways off before I get one done to many other things on the burner it would be a great starting point for a new dev (Peter) ![]() |

I've always wanted something that looked like this: http://xbmc.org/wordpress/wp-content...eenshot004.jpg
Where can I find the documentation on converting such a skin? Last edited by tonysathre; 05-21-2010 at 02:11 PM. |

Read the release notes. If you don't have studio experience it won't be the easiest. |
