muppo 49 Posted December 20, 2016 Hi!I thought my previous skin Blue Mountains can have a bit more stylish look so I reworked it from scrach taking some good ideas x1024 used on his Blur skin and there is the end result. Also I want to thank Swizzy, who kindly helped me with the translation issues I had. Hope you ike it!

Swizzy 2083 Posted December 21, 2016 This looks great, good job!Not to mention it shows that there is quite a bit more freedom with the skin then some believe just because most skins are minor modifications mostly related to the colors and default background Sent from my SM-G903F Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted December 22, 2016 I actually like this skin, It is simple, sleek, and has a good color scheme. Good work. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon9O 13 Posted December 22, 2016 @muppo Is possible change image background for all theme? you can do this? Translation italian for the skin IT-IT.xzp 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2083 Posted December 22, 2016 Unless he replaced the background object it should be possible to change the background directly in aurora... Sent from my SM-G903F Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muppo 49 Posted December 23, 2016 yes i can change the background, but not in this menu The way it is done includes both Background.jpg and Background_blur.jpg on the skin and a customized script to manage it (All credits to x1024 who created it for his Blur skin) So you can open the .xzp, change the backgrounds for whatever you like then repack the skin. Other way is I can repack it without the blur thing so users can choose their own wallpaper for all the theme, it's not a big deal at all. I'm including the italian translation on the first post, by the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNAKE_8 9 Posted December 23, 2016 This skin is great, but why do not you hear the sounds like on the other skin? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muppo 49 Posted December 24, 2016 Thanks SNAKE_8 That's because I deactivated sounds. I like having Metro sounds but it feels weird to ear these on some screens and none at the rest so I decided to disable all of them. There are lots of thing I have to learn about how XuiTools works yet, tho By the way, I edited last post to encourage people learn how skins works because there are lots of ideas which can be done -as Swizzy suggested-Funny thing is when I removed the blurred background I create a even_more_transparency_everywhere skin, will test it a bit today and if it works fine I'll upload it as a xmas gift or whatever. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muppo 49 Posted December 25, 2016 It is possible but most of the time skin shows secondary background, AKA "background_blur.jpg" so there are some changes to be done before you can change it from aurora. @SwizzyAs skin can be uploaded without being packed, you can just overwrite those backgrounds directly from the file manager. Am I right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leon9O 13 Posted December 27, 2016 @muppo i have problem with this skin, the time of boot is 45 seconds (any automatic scans) other skins 5-10 seconds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muppo 49 Posted December 28, 2016 Try Blur skin by x1024 and tell me if it does the same or not, so I can locate where's the problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon9O 13 Posted December 28, 2016 Try Blur skin by x1024 and tell me if it does the same or not, so I can locate where's the problem i tried today skin and work boot on 12 seconds, i don't know why sorry for the inconvenience I hope, you can implement the change background for as theme Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
felida 1653 Posted December 30, 2016 i tried today skin and work boot on 12 seconds, i don't know why sorry for the inconvenience I hope, you can implement the change background for as theme While a skin can technically slow loading times.. it has nothing to do with inital loading times.. the loading screen takes its time by how long it has to parse the db, tu's, ect.. if no autoscanning is set, loading is hella faster, if you have a small collection, boots faster, ect..Now while i havent taken a peek under the hood of this skin.. if they didnt change the loading screen with tons of stuff.. more than likely it will hang after all the scanning for a bit.. to initalize the 2nd part of aurora, where the coverflow is.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
felida 1653 Posted December 30, 2016 yes i can change the background, but not in this menu To change the bg of this particular section, you have to add one in mate.. the utilities.xur has a transparent bg, which is why u still see the normal bg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muppo 49 Posted December 31, 2016 To change the bg of this particular section, you have to add one in mate.. the utilities.xur has a transparent bg, which is why u still see the normal bg I'm working on this but this days is hard to find time for stuff, you now.

felida 1653 Posted December 31, 2016 I'm working on this but this days is hard to find time for stuff, you now. Have a nice 2016 outcome and 2017 income all of you !! It is just as simple as hitting the image icon, then sizing it to 1280x720.. and setting the image path.. just make sure u move the image layer below everything, else the image will cover everything lol..By default, when u add it, it will come at the top of the list.. so just drag it below everything.. and u will be good to go mate 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muppo 49 Posted December 31, 2016 Already tried that felida, but even if I do link to the Aurora.Background.jpg it doesn't change pic when you select another different background from options, that's what I'm working on but have no enough time this weeks :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted January 1, 2017 You might suggest an option for something like this...... Probably wont happen, but who am I to say what phoenix will and wont add in future versions. They have taken alot of ideas from the community at large for all sorts of different things. Not everything turned out as expected, but maybe you will get exactly what you want. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
