I now have an XBOX I am using in my Car with XBMC. All works fine... However, since I do not have internet in my Car the Date and time are never accurate and are always displayed wrong on the Main menu as a result. Is there a way to turn off displaying Day/Date/Time on the main page?
I am not sure if this is a skin feature but I am using the standard confluence skin that comes with XBMC.
Thanks much for any help.

Look in the includes.xml and deleted (or comment <!-- -->) the clock includes.

Do NOT delet that line or any of the <control> you quoted.
You want The control "group" right below that section . It looks like this.
Code: Select all
<control type="group">
<posx>160r</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<animation effect="slide" start="0,0" end="-60,0" delay="0" time="300" condition="Window.IsVisible(MuteBug)">conditional</animation>
<animation effect="slide" start="0,0" end="210,0" delay="0" time="300" condition="Window.Next(Home) | Window.IsVisible(FullscreenVideo) | Window.IsVisible(Visualisation)">WindowClose</animation>
<animation effect="slide" start="210,0" end="0,0" delay="0" time="300" condition="Window.Previous(Home) | Window.IsVisible(FullscreenVideo) | Window.IsVisible(Visualisation)">WindowOpen</animation>
<control type="image">
<description>time background</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>150</width>
<height>35</height>
<texture flipx="true" border="32,0,0,0">header.png</texture>
</control>
<control type="label">
<description>time label</description>
<posx>30</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>400</width>
<height>28</height>
<align>left</align>
<aligny>center</aligny>
<font>font12</font>
<textcolor>white</textcolor>
<label>$INFO[System.Time]</label>
</control>
</control>
I would just base it's visibilty on another internet required setting. Such as weather or RSS.
You could tie it to the weather setting by adding this line.
Code: Select all
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(homepageWeatherinfo)</visible>
So it would look like this.
Code: Select all
<control type="group">
<posx>160r</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<animation effect="slide" start="0,0" end="-60,0" delay="0" time="300" condition="Window.IsVisible(MuteBug)">conditional</animation>
<animation effect="slide" start="0,0" end="210,0" delay="0" time="300" condition="Window.Next(Home) | Window.IsVisible(FullscreenVideo) | Window.IsVisible(Visualisation)">WindowClose</animation>
<animation effect="slide" start="210,0" end="0,0" delay="0" time="300" condition="Window.Previous(Home) | Window.IsVisible(FullscreenVideo) | Window.IsVisible(Visualisation)">WindowOpen</animation>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(homepageWeatherinfo)</visible>
<control type="image">
<description>time background</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>150</width>
<height>35</height>
<texture flipx="true" border="32,0,0,0">header.png</texture>
</control>
<control type="label">
<description>time label</description>
<posx>30</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>400</width>
<height>28</height>
<align>left</align>
<aligny>center</aligny>
<font>font12</font>
<textcolor>white</textcolor>
<label>$INFO[System.Time]</label>
</control>
</control>
Now if you go to settings>skin>home window
You can toggle it on or off with the "show weather info" setting.
