saywaking 289 Posted January 1, 2018 This is more a concept, which should be discussed in the first place. The question is: Wouldn't it be better, if Scripts (certainly Utility Scripts) are considered as a content Type, like "homebrew" but is another type like "Utility Scripts", so the Scripts can be accessed faster through Auroras Main Page, instead of navigating through all the menus?

SOME elements cant.. but im pretty sure the scripts section can be easily moved to somewhere else.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saywaking 289 Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah i guess so. I wouldn't want to create a custom skin for that still. It could be official and a setting for the Skin, like "display" Scripts in the coverflow area or something like that, but it's not a must have tho. I can just imagine, people would need to start some scripts manually onClick, in some cases, a quick access would be really a nice feeling. Otherwise, i have to click on several buttons and menus start one specific script. I don't know yet either, just a thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted January 10, 2018 With aurora 0.7b there is a new skin option that will allow you to create tabs on the main page, so in therory, you could create a new tab in the main section of the skin where coverflow is, and put the scripts menu there. Felida did the testing on that feature, so he would be the one to ask about this. I think this will get more use, if MaesterRowen ever finishes his MP3 library for aurora scripts. He keeps saying once he finishes the back end, it would be cool to see how the users implement a front end for this in the skins, and scripts. Who knows when that will happen though. I think in felida's testing, he used it to start and stop different background music, that was included in the skin he was testing with. He posted a video at one point for proof of concept for the developers, and testers, but I dont think it ever made it to the public. As I said, Felida is the person to talk to about this.

OR, you could move the settings to one of the tabs.. lol.. so one tab is coverflow, one tab is scripts, ect.. lol.. ALOT can be done once that feature is released lol.. not just for the music parts ;-D edit: i think you mean this teaser video?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted January 10, 2018 Yes that was the video I was talking about. lol. I just didnt want to go find it on youtube, because I am lazy. lol. And essentially what I was saying was move the Scripts scene to one of the tabs, so yes, you understood what I was saying. That feature could also be used to create a better NxE style skin as well. As you said, it gives skin developers alot of options for layouts and stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
