Title: Faultline Skinning Support
Post by: arctu on November 30, 2008, 04:39:25 pm
Let me release something before school starts. Hehe.

Recently, you have see skins that changes the menu background and structure. The menu on our E8 is powered by flowplayer/faultline. Currently, the skinners are forced to use mount bind to replace the corresponding skin files. But with the newly discovered method, there isn't any need to! :D

(this method also speeds up the main menu by quite a noticeable difference!)

Extract the attached to /ezxlocal . This will result you to have the folders /ezxlocal/faultline .

In your startup script, e.g. /ezxlocal/medl/medld.conf , add in:
Code:
mount -o bind /ezxlocal/faultline/config.ini /usr/SYSqtapp/xe/config.ini
mount -o bind /ezxlocal/faultline/skins /usr/SYSqtapp/xe/resource/skins

For example, in my case, my medld.conf will look like:
Code:
UNMAGX=/ezxlocal/unmagx
STAMPFILE=$UNMAGX/stamp
INITFILE=$UNMAGX/init.sh

# commented code is for cowards
#
# if [ -e $STAMPFILE ]
# then
#       rm $STAMPFILE
# else
        echo "medld.conf init" >> /ezxlocal/medld.txt
        date >> /ezxlocal/medld.txt
        sh $INITFILE
        echo "medld.conf font init" >> /ezxlocal/medld.txt
        date >> /ezxlocal/medld.txt
        mount -o bind /ezxlocal/faultline/config.ini /usr/SYSqtapp/xe/config.ini
        mount -o bind /ezxlocal/faultline/skins /usr/SYSqtapp/xe/resource/skins
#      touch $STAMPFILE
# fi

Setup Done!

Example of a skin directory is /ezxlocal/faultline/skins/iphone . It's just a restructured folder of goddbx iphone MAINMENU skin files. You need to place the skin files in a proper directory structure. Look at /ezxlocal/faultline/skins/default for reference. To change skin, open up /ezxlocal/faultline/config.ini and modify the line ..

Code:
skin = iphone

.. to your skin name that you want to use.

I have told ilove3d yesterday in hope that he make a script/app for you guys. :P
E8 needs more nice skins! Have a nice day. (:
