Figured it out!!! Actually as is usually the case, it was INCREDIBLY easy with a ton of wasted time. I'm wondering what took me so long to try this (from DialogButtonMenu.xml):

and that's all it took Thanks for the help, I'll surely be needing more---

Re: Hidden Button
That's the thing, at this point its only one window available from ShutdownMenu, and since i added a top bar...Weather is also accessable. So it's actually kinda silly since what I've done pretty much works (I'm very stubborn though, and I like finishing what i set out to achieve). I thought about w...

Re: Hidden Button
So I wasted yet another day messing with this...I just don't think what I am trying to accomplish is possible. Thanks for the explanation, I kinda figured it had to do with a button and no texture combo (didn't think position really mattered). I tried many variations of this idea, but the main probl...

Hidden Button
So I don't know how many of you out there are just browsing and looking for new skins, or maybe some of you dabble in the code yourselves...but I think that we could all benefit from this as "skinners." I was asking Xbs how I might be able to make a window appear on top of a dialog when it...

Re: 480p/720p
The first time it happened, I wasn't exactly sure what was going on. It went to PMIII on reload, and my resolution was all messed up (keep in mind that I was a little concerned at that point because I had no idea what happened), so I figured I had really messed something up for it to load the defaul...

480p/720p
So I run my skin in 480p to get as much RAM out of my xbox as I can, and I play video in 720p cuz it looks better ;) I was messing with VideoOSDSettings.xml and realized that even though my skin is in 480, xbmc upscaled my media controls (and every other control in the fullscreen view) to 720... nee...

Re: Garbage Collection
Right...so I've noticed that when in library mode, watching a show or movie (local/stream), or listening to music...memory never gets back to where it was, even after a skin reload. If I remember correctly, after RELOAD all includes are dropped out of memory and all should be as it was at start up a...

Garbage Collection
I was just wondering if this could be implemented into xbmc4xbox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_%28computer_science%29 . I'm not sure if it would serve better as a stand-alone script (kinda like a task manager?), or if it could be written into the source code. I was also reading som...

Thanks guys, nice to know...it's silly, you get so buried in code that when you actually stick your head up out of it you expect people to understand where you're coming from. I'm not bashful, if I have anything to share i most definitely will :) I'm starting to get a pretty firm grasp on the skinni...

What to do?
I took Rapier Qualar Mod, ripped it apart for the last six months, changed some things, cleaned it up and I'm almost ready to release it to the community. Do i need permission from anyone to do that? I don't wanna ruffle any one's feathers for sure, but i think it would be a good addition for us...a...

just go into system/settings/display and toggle to the res you want for the skin, and then go to system/settings/video/playback and toggle the res you want your vids to play at. my skin has 36mb free memory at start up, and when NOT in library mode i get 12-15mb left after a vid starts. in library m...

ToDDS with SIMD?
I might have posted this in the wrong place before (sorry), but I'd like to know if i should still use ToDDS with SIMD... mainline says get rid of .dds but i want to know if it's still practical on XBOX. so i would like to know .dds or not?

SIMD?
So I'd like to know if i should still use ToDDS @ this point...i'm guessing a "SIMD optimised library" is about incorporating OpenELEC into xbmc4xbox but i could be wrong (and if i am no offense please). anyhow, i've been looking upstream and word is that .dds is no good anymore...? i'm tw...

okay, first download this http://www.fileupyours.com/view/320076/Addons4Xbox%20Installer-0.9.3.zip and then just ftp the .rar file to your xbox and don't unpack it. go into file manager, select it and it will open the .rar - on the other side open E/apps/xbmc/plugins/programs and then copy the opene...
