i didn't include it in the uploaded one yet
it can also be enabled and disabled with the back button
the only problem i see is we would lose the weather icons on the days

If you edit the skin.xml you should be able to use them both, the .dds files for the icons and jpeg's or png's for the background

This is the line for the weather scene

<ScnWeather>
<Instance id="Weather">
<MOONBASEPATH>Images\Interface\Weather\Moons</MOONBASEPATH>
<TYPEBASEPATH>Images\Interface\Weather\Type</TYPEBASEPATH>
<FILETYPE>dds</FILETYPE>
</Instance>
</ScnWeather>

and when you insesrt a new Instance Id it should work

<ScnWeather>
<Instance id="Weather">
<MOONBASEPATH>Images\Interface\Weather\Moons</MOONBASEPATH>
<TYPEBASEPATH>Images\Interface\Weather\Type</TYPEBASEPATH>
<FILETYPE>dds</FILETYPE>
</Instance>
<Instance id="WeatherBackground">
<MOONBASEPATH>Images\Interface\WeatherBackground\Moons</MOONBASEPATH>
<TYPEBASEPATH>Images\Interface\WeatherBackground\Type</TYPEBASEPATH>
<FILETYPE>jpg</FILETYPE>
</Instance>
</ScnWeather>

now use your custom id for your background weather scene

LOVE IT!!!

This version now has the default tab layout
i have uploaded a second version of the theme here http://spiffy360.com/forum/thread-667-po...ml#pid5203
that is identical apart from the tab order and the emulators tab has been replaced with a kinect tab

::PREVIEW::

I'v just started putting together some Game themes for glass here's my first

MW3


BattleField3


Assassin's Creed

if you want anything in particular let me know

i won't be updating now till i have a few made. as there finished i will add a preview here

i think 3 is enough for now i will get the non kinect one built tomorrow and update them both then

hi jsjar,it's a nice skin.
a few suggestions i you want to take a look,
1)i dont know when and where it came to the idea to add a kinect tab, anyway its a great idea. problem is when i got the first skin with kinect tab, i found what the author did is changing the homebrew to kinect and changing the emulators to homebew&emulators. so i did the game path scanning and fsd2settings.db edit in that way. but your kinect skin is a bit different, the result is if i use your skin, i have my emulators and homebrews under kinect tab and have the kinect games under homebew tab. i believe i am not the only one has the problem. i wanna keep both skins so can you change the way you created the kinect tab? i believe we wanna the skinners to use the same way they do it so that we can switch between the awesme skins without moving the games back and forth.
2)i think it will look better if you remove the section titles(library,setings, etc) on the main scene. you?
3)i noticed you move the time scene from right top to left top, its good because when you get into the game list scene you will have overlapping issue(game description block and time)
4)it will be great if you remove the current condition of the weather and make it as background. i noticed your discussion in the thread.
5)fsd orb animation, it will be cool if you can change the shinning curve(around spiffy logo) to a dragon, simply because i am from China and its year of dragon this year.
6)remove tab count on the main page, and make a loop effect for the tabs.

thanks jsjar!

::Update:: new backgrounds stages icons tabs and tab animation

@robins
good ideas but i don't think i will be implementing any of them

1) it's more logical to change emulators for kinect as emulators are homebrew anyway,
i'v no idea why the other theme maker would do it that way.
2) no i like the section titles they balance out the theme when the weather is active.
3) it has been moved to the bottom now.
4) i have given up on that idea, i couldn't get it to work how i wanted it to.
5) that wouldn't be to everybody's taste.
6) that would be more work than i'm willing to do this far along in the making of the theme.
