@Chee5y

I am not sure if you have had these questions answered already- but I believe you can only have 2 backgrounds-

I can add support for more if you want.

As far as I know, you can place a Custombackdrop in as many scenes as you want, and it will load- however, you can't use 2 different backgrounds- you will have use either BackgroundA or BackgroundB or both.

Anyway, keep up the good work, your stuff is quality!

Thank you for answering my questions and yes it would be cool if the possibility would exist for a BackgroundC and maybe a BackgroundD.
Also currently we can have up to 4 selectable animations maybe you can do the same and let us have a few more.
If it is not a great effort, it would be amazing if you could make it work.

I must return the praise because without your effort and skills we never wouldn´t have such a great dashboard

regards

Thanks.

The animations are very easy to increase- I will see what it may take for the backgrounds ^_^.

What must I do ?

The command to package it up with xuipkg is this
xuipkg /O newthemename.xzp /R *.*

Note: If you copy xuipkg.exe to C:\Windows\System32 it will make it a default command in command line so you don't have to have the xuipkg.exe in the working directory.

I tried that Build Skins included with FSD also but it never packaged it at the proper size it was always smaller when it shouldn't be. This way keeps the file size correct.
I tried doing it with that command but it gives error

"Failed to convert Default/avatar.xui to binary form..Aborting...

What is going on..

Hey all, I know Chee5y probably already knows this by now because he's come a long way..but I figured I would answer the above just in case anyone else runs into it.

The Error about about failing to conver .xui's is because .xui's are not binary so they cannot be packed in the .xzp format.

The way around this is to either remove the .xui's from your directory before you try to pack your theme....OR add the /NOCONVERT command to the end of the xuipkg command line..this tells it to ignore .xui files.

Hope this helps someone.

It's actually a lot more complicated than it sounds..there is a lot of animation and placing and naming when dealing with the tabs..removing them means you have to rename tabs, re-position them in the animations and fix the functionality..

I started doing it for someone else on here not long ago but then my Jtag xbox died so I wasn't able to continue..

If I ever run across a Jtag or someone helps me get one I will finish it..otherwise I can't help, sorry!
