Novice skinner issues

[jptykes]

Trying to create my own skin based on the Dark FM11 skin. I'm having issues. Lots of them

First one I want to tackle is how to remove the quick flick things beside the logo as shown below. I'm guessing the xml is found in Titlebar but so far I've experimented at removing or altering sections without any luck.

The Quick Flicks are controlled by this code right at the bottom of the titlebar.xml file:

<!-- Quick Flicks -->
<container>
 <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/>
 <layout class="fit_children_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/>
 <container id="flik" width="160">
   <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="75,-1" gap="5" inset="0"/>
   <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" layout_children="true" inset="-4"/>
   <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0"/>

   <container>
     <widget class="quick_flick_button" id="flkl" auto_size="all" appearance="button/custom/quickflicks/left/button" cached="true" step="-1">
       <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="15"/>
       <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="35"/>
     </widget>
   </container>

   <container>
     <widget class="quick_flick_button" id="flkr" auto_size="all" appearance="button/custom/quickflicks/right/button" cached="true" step="1">
       <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="right" inset="15"/>
       <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="35"/>
     </widget>
   </container>
 </container>
</container>

So deleting that will presumably remove them then?

I was looking much higher up in the file - Browse buttons section.

[michaeltmurrayuk]

Yes deleting the code will remove them (just make sure you delete the three </container> tags at the bottom aswell)

Thanks Michael

Is there a list anywhere of the various 'codes' used in the xml and what they mean/equate to?

I'm thinking specifically of the sbpc, mnpc & mbrc kind of 'codes' that control which logos etc are used.

No there isn't sadly. You can basically guess what the code is though from where it's used and the comments above it.
