Coverflow Layout

[RacerX 5]

UPDATE:

So.........I wanted to have a bigger update, but I've been busy lately
with my new job so it'll have to be just a very small update. Sorry for
that!

Anyway, I added a few more layouts but the thing I think it is more
important is the adjustments I made. I've made adjustments to the
angles, positions and a couple of other things to try and make it look
even better (see the modesty here?? lol).

So, see for yourself. Download it here:

Thanks for all the support, people! Cheers!


 

 

PS: Yes, it works with all revisions of Freestyle Dash 3.

PS2: All previous files of previous versions were removed from my
mediafire account. This is the only file available now, sorry for any
inconvenience.

ORIGINAL:

Hey there!

First of all, thanks fot the great Freestyle 3!! I'm enjoying it so much. And as a result, I became a fan of the coverflow thing... I got "tired" of the same default 3 layouts so I decided to add my own. I made this one: ("shelf style")



Zoomed the back cover thing a bit so we can read the text and see the images:






So, why I'm here... I was trying to add more layouts because it seems people liked it (I shared it at xbox360iso) and I'm starting to actually understand how the coordinates work and stuff, BUT I have a problem. I was trying a new layout and I got where I wanted to:



The problem are the cover "shadows". How can I move them? Or disable them? Is it possible?


Thanks for your time!

Cheers.




UPDATE:

Well, since it got popular, I'll share it with you guys.

You'll get 20 different NEW layouts. That makes a total of 23, including the original ones.

But first, I have to say I wasn't very happy with the cover size in the details view, so I resized it a bit:


(a little smaller but fits the screen better, while still bigger than the original ones)

Here are some examples of the new layouts:


(YES!!! I finally got it right!!! )

Some of these have to be seen in motion, they could look dull in the screenshots.





I call this next one "The Cube": (I know it's not exactly a cube, but...)




(this one, for example is better in motion)



Two Stockpiles:


The LOVE Boat: (LOL) (also, could be an X...)



I call this next one "Stairway to Heaven": (man, I love that song!!)





There are other layouts in this new file, but you'll have to see for yourself.

Here is the download link:

I suppose you all know where to put this file, right? Anyway, it goes into the XML folder of the skin you're using. You don't have to extract the skin file and all that. Just put the file inside your skin data folder, for example:

Hdd1:FreestyleDataSkins"name of skin you're using"XML"file goes here"

You'll have to replace the existing file for this to work.

Then, just reboot freestyle dash and enjoy.

Hope you all like it.

Sure! Here it is:

It's just the CLayout.xml file. You'll have to put it in the XML folder of the skin you're using. (overwriting the one there)

I've "created" some other layouts, about 10 if I remember correctly, but I'm having the same problem I described here with some of them. I was waiting for an answer but I guess I'll just have to forget the buggy ones and share the correctly working ones. So many ideias wasted....

Hey! I'm sorry. I didn't see this earlier.

Anyway, please use this file instead, it has a lot more layouts:

http://www.mediafire.com/?po19gndtj3o33ad

(although I'm thinking of adding some more in a couple of days)

Now, about that issue... I don't really know what else you can do. Have you tried to reset skin settings? What skin are you using?

What I would do... I would delete everything related to the skin you're using, including everything in the dataskins"skin you're using".

Extract the skin you want to use with this, put the file in the XML folder, replacing the one there, build the xzp again and copy to your Xbox.

If you already did this and still have that issue, I don't know what else could be.

Hope it helps. And sorry for my english.

RacerX, can you upload to a different share site?as i mentioned before, it's very difficult for me to download stuff from mediafire. thanks!

RacerX feel free to attach the files to your post and nice work on the layouts.

[snappy 4]

Both of your mediafire links have been removed. This is exactly what I was looking for when logging in this morning. Could you please attach the latest greatest to your next post here or update a link for us?

[RacerX 5]

Sorry I didn't see this earlier....

That said, I updated the OP.

Now, it has a description, some examples, download link and an explanation on how to use it.

Hope you guys like it. Thanks!!

EDIT: I forgot to say... I couldn't figure out how to remove those shadows I spoke of before, BUT(!) I did figure out a way by going around it. That's why there are horizontal covers and things like that.
