ScreenSaver Photo Panel

[Jaggy]

While looking at the skin changes in blue to see what I needed to modify for my skin I came across <Placement name="ScreenSaverPhotoPanel" loc="10.5,55"/> etc. in the Screen Saver skin file & noticed there are photos in the media\ScreensaverArt directory, but it doesn't seem to do anything differently than before when the SSaver kicks in, is this something you were working on that never got finished or if it works how do I get it to display photos?

Did I word this badly or something??

Should I have said something like sub does the new <Placement name="ScreenSaverPhotoPanel" loc="10.5,55"/> & compositeimage etc. in 1.3.7 blue skin screensaver skin.xml do anything, if so when does it kick in??

[sub]

Which file is this?

Huh? I thought I had made it clear what skin.xml I was talking about? :o

In the "..\Skin2\blue\Screen Saver" skin.xml file from what I can see all this below is new...


<Placement name="ScreenSaverPhotoPanel" loc="10.5,55"/>

<CompositeImage name="ScreenSaverPhotoPanel" size="50,50">
<DrawImage filename="@image" loc="0,0" size="100,80" fixedAspectRatio="true"/>
<DrawText text="@songName" loc="0,85" size="100,15" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
</CompositeImage>

all I want to know is does it work & if so how do I get it to kick in for testing purposes?

It was only really for testing, but it should work. You need to set <ScreenSaverPlugin>Photo Screen Saver</ScreenSaverPlugin> in config.xml, and place your pictures in the .\Media\ScreenSaverArt directory.

With the new Slik skin i add some pictures to the MenuArt directory, so i have a little slideshow.
It wold be nice that the menubar or any buttons shwitch of at the screensaver and the GBPVR logo slides over the screen with the MenuArt pictures in the background.

Is there any option to make the screensaver transparent ?
