SkinBrowser Plugin

Zorro · May 30th, 2008, 12:18 PM

Dear Mr. Skinner,

I've just added a SkinBrowser plugin to my collection of plugins (available through PluginBrowser)

If you want to join in and add your skin here, please download this Skin description XML file, fill it out and send it back to me.

If you have more than one preview screenshot of your skin, make a image ribbon with the size of 336 * 200 * n, wheras n is the number of pictures you will supply. This will be used as scrollable preview of your skin. Here's a sample of such an image.

VERY nice - Glad I thought of the idea :wink:

Wish I had the time to do some programming...

Edit: Not sure what's going on here. I opened CF, PIB told me about the new plugin. But, when I click to download, I immediately get a "Download Error. Please Retry." window. I've tried about 10x with no luck.

This is the 1st time I've seen this error with PIB.

Damn Zorro's a pimp.

I was just wondering how to make an executable to install a new skin ?
I'm designing a new skin without using a skindesigner.

Sorry, my fault... have had a typo in the description file.

Have a look at NSIS in the plugins forum (Preparing Centrafuse Plugin).

Is there anyway you can turn off the gestures when you are in this plugin and also in the PluginBrowser? It would be nice to scroll through the images/description without playing/pausing the songs.

Almost like when it does in the NAV.

I am sure you looked at this in the SDK already. Just was curious for future plugins.

Yes there is a way for 2.0, not for 1.4x, which makes it impossible right now to add this feature.
I will move all my plugins to 2.0 soon (which means 1.4x will not be supported anymore).

Lovin this plugin!!! Great job Zorro!!!

Now - can ya come up with one to disable my screensaver & display power management while the vehicle is in motion? Or even just disable it while CF is running?
