    Xui is a lot like XAML in that every XUI Control is just a "Container" with different base properties.  Each container can be "skinned" using a Visual.  A Visual is a combination of XUI Controls that define the way you want another XUI Control to look.   That is where you set the text color of an Xui Button.

     

    Once you create a Button Visual, you can then set your XUI Button to that visual and it will look like it.   

     

    Since you are indeed an XUI beginner, you are going to need to just play around and experiment.  Once you get the hang of it you'll see its really just a combination of XAML and Flash.

     

    Good luck.

    Thanks a lot for the tip. I guess I can take it from here

    Hello guys,

    I often need to view all kinds of games together and hide the other stuff. So I wrote these filters to hide other categories.

    Edit: I used ~= operator instead of "not ( = )". Thanks a lot Swizzy for the great tip :)

    Hide Applications:

    GameListFilterCategories.User["Hide Applications"] = function(Content)
	return Content.ScriptData ~= "Applications"
end

    Hide Emulators:

    GameListFilterCategories.User["Hide Emulators"] = function(Content)
	return Content.ScriptData ~= "Emulators"
end

    Hide Homebrew:

    GameListFilterCategories.User["Hide Homebrew"] = function(Content)
	return Content.ScriptData ~= "Homebrew"
end

    Of course to add any filter, you have to put in a file with extension .lua and place it inside folder: Media/Scripts/UserFilters

    I hope that would be useful for anyone :)

    I also added another one in my post below

    I just upgraded now!! Again, great job guys  :thumbup:  :thumbup:  :thumbup:

    One quick question: how to make skins appear in the "Select Skin" scene? I added skins in the same folder "Skins" beside the default one but they still didn't appear.

    Edit: Wait, do they have to be 0.4 skins?

    Base XUITool should be able to open xur files extracted from the default.xzp.    What file is giving you index out of range?

    Many thanks for your interest :)

    The index out of range error occurs when opening any Aurora skin (defaukt skin or any other skin) XUR file in XUI Workshop

    XUI Tool cannot open xur files, only xui files. And I even had a problem opening xui files in XUI Tools, but I finally managed today to solve this problem.

    Please tell me if there is any easy way to open xur directly in XUI Tool

    Download the latest XDK from xbox360iso... and make sure you have visual studio 2010 installed, now it should work... if not... there's something wrong somewhere... if you have the f3 xui files it should load them just fine...

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    After a lot of struggling, I found somewhere an empty "skin.xui" file:

    <XuiCanvas version="000c"><Properties></Properties></XuiCanvas>

    When I open this file at the at the first time opening XUITool, it makes it open successfully and now I can load any other xui file. I just wish if there is an easy way to convert xur to xui files. I used XUITT for that on another machine because I have Office 64-bit on my machine.

    Other small question for an XBOX amateur, how to change the text color of XUIbutton? I couldn't find documentation anywhere.  :blushing:

    Editing the Aurora skin is no different then editing the F3 skin... the difference is that you use the Aurora skin rather then the F3 skin :) any tutorial for F3 skinning should also apply just fine to Aurora

     

    I swear I'm not another lazy ass!!

    I did try to use the same tool "Xui Workshop 1.0.0", but it didn't work with Aurora XUR files and always throws a generic error: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range

    Also I tried hard to download a working copy of XUI Tool (xdk), but from all broken download links I got two links, one came without "XUI Tool.exe"!! and the other one throws error even when opening F3 XUI files:

    I've had such issues before, but as a developer i understand why that works... what happens when you close it and open it up again is that all memory is read in once again, maybe there was a slight memory issue or some stupid shit in the code causing it? who knows!

    In this particular case i don't think it actually deletes the files, it just overwrites them... i could be wrong tho, gotta check with the developers who wrote this function :)

    Well, I used to be a developer myself, but I spent long time trying to get myself to speak "non-technical" language since I deal now with zero-technical people in my new work  :baby:

    So forgive me if I tend to use extra-simple (and accordingly not so accurate) language.

    I know of course the logic behind the "restart" and the memory flushing thing. I also didn't mean that the code actually "deletes" the file, and it makes more sense if it's replacing or even editing the file.

     

    What happens was that I found for some reason that the file "GameCoverInfo.bin" became a zero-byte file and the refresh function fails to overwrite/edit this file since the modified date never changes. That was fixed by deleting all files manually from another dashboard and attempt to refresh again.

    I tried it of course, for Aurora skin files it couldn't even open XUR files, brings error: Index out of range

    For freestyle plugin files, they are successfully opened in XUI Workshop but when export XUR binary and copy them to Aurora they fail to work!! The plugin doesn't work and brings the original Xbox Guide instead. Even if I didn't change anything and only exported binary of the unmodified XUI.

    of course!

    i modified colour of text but first time i failed,skin on console didn't present any text:empty buttons.i tried again removing "tv color clampling" on color's menu into aurora_skin and text has changed color on skin.

    But keyframe on aurora_skin when i saved become empty. (sorry for english :D)

    Can you please give us a quick guide on how you managed to get XUI files from XUR files? and if you have a link of a working XuiTool (xdk)?

    Because I couldn't find any tutorial or even a simple guide on how to edit Aurora skin.

    XuiTool is the name of the program you need.  Swizzy already mentioned this.   It is part of the Xbox 360 Software Development Kit (SDK A.K.A. XDK)

    Thanks for replying. Actually I also searched a lot for that and there were many broken download links. I finally found a torrent and a working link. The torrent was an installer exe file (374MB) that didn't contain XuiTool !! The working download link was exctraced files (93MB) that finally contained "XuiTool.exe", but that didn't solve the problem.

    XuiTool cannot open (or convert) XUR files which are the only format extracted from the skin XZP.

    Even when I was able to get source XUI files of freestyle plugin (Aurora plugin), it still fails to be opened in XuiTool and brings error:

    ---------------------------

    Any help please?

    You don't have to delete any of those files, doing that refresh option you mentioned should download everything from the net again... if the cover is missing it's probably because it's not available on xboxunity.net for that particular TitleID

     

    lol yeah I was thinking the same but wasn't confident enough to say....basically the "solution" is deleting it's cover and re-downloading it??!?

     

    Guys, like you never had to just close something and open it again to make things work again without any logical reasons?

    As I said, I actually had a problem with a title cover before and the refresh button didn't work then, so I had to delete the files manually and that solved the problem and made the cover download successfully. I think there is a bug occurs (rarely to be honest) that makes the refresh function unable to delete these files.

    I had the Plants vs. Zombie game before with the correct cover in Aurora, so that's why I thought the problem "might" be with the refresh process itself like the problem I had before.

    I had the same problem and solved it with the following steps:

    1) Get the game title ID (either from Aurora interface or from xboxunity.net)
    2) Using other dashboard (FSD or XEXmenu), go to Aurora folder, then: Data/GameData
    3) Find the folder that has the title id of the game, then delete everything inside this folder (or just GameCoverInfo.bin, but not sure)

    Now try going again to the game in Aurora, and try to refresh (from game options, LS left on the screenshot button then A)
