Aura Skin for CF3.1 (May 02 first Release)

[no-tec]

Sure you can, they are already there, just not as obvious or as long as shown here.

So there is a way to modify just the transitions for better effect?

[MarcelP]

Yes, you can create your own effect profile file in Folder "effectprofiles" and then play with it.

(a little recommendation from me: look in youtube plugin (cf2), there you can see how it works, the flip transition)

[Spawn]

I'd like to have a play around with those transitions as well.

Looks really nice.
I'd just love (for all skins) that there would be a "-" dash between artist and title... it looks odd and sometimes is unclear to me when there is just a space.

[Spawn]

We tried to make it work in both our skins, but if there is no track selected you get " - " in the title bar, or if you are watching a vide o you get " - movie title"

[analographi]

I understand... for me that is very few times the case... I'd definitly prefer this unperfection before the one there is now

[MarcelP]

Yes, me too..

Maybe Scott/David can fix this with clear label when no playlist is loaded, like in destinator ("HeaderNoRoute").

As Example: if no Playlist is loaded we can put this line in skin file:

<HIDECONTROLSNOPLAYLIST>
<CONTROL type="Label" id="MainTitle" />
</HIDECONTROLSNOPLAYLIST>

I think this is the best solution and easy. What do you say Scott??

It's quite simple to add this.
Open the main skin file, skin.xml and look for the Section that starts
<SECTION id="Main", in that section you'll find a line

 <CONTROL type="Label" id="MainTitle" bounds="175,4,555,42" fontclass="Standard24" fontstyle="align:left" cmlaction="Centrafuse.Main.NowPlaying" scroll="true" cmltext="Centrafuse.CurrentMedia.Artist + {                  } + Centrafuse.Main.Title" />

All you have to do is add the "-" between the {} braces.

BIG NOTE, in case you don't know, use a text editor like "notepad" NOT a word processing program like "Word".

Have you found it??!

You can look into this in soon coming first Aura Release.

You can try this in effectprofile file:

<EFFECT id="ToMain" bounds="0;85;848;310" assembly="Centrafuse.Transitions.Flip" parameters="EffectOption=Vertical"></EFFECT>
