Eskin block background - accident12123/eversion GitHub Wiki

Overview:

Background is special variation of image for hardware players supporting high res full screen backgrounds.

Format:

<background> <file>infowall/background.jpg</file> </background>

FILE

The path and filename (including extension) to your image. Paths are relative to your skins media folder unless variables for shared or jukebox are used.

This field is variable friendly to include images from titles or data from the title. See variables for more info.

USAGE NOTES

  • Background only supports full screen artwork.
  • Eversion will only process 1 background file per screen.
  • Variables are processed at the time the screen first appears. For dynamic backgrounds using variables, use the fanart block.
  • The eskin file should be the main eskin file for that user view (infowall.eskin for an example)
  • If the background changes as you scroll through a menu or options, use the fanart block.
  • A higher res background trick is save your backgrounds as 1920x1080 instead of 1280x720 and set them as progressive. When flash scales these, it offers higher quality output then 1280x720 exact sized image and minor eversion delay (subsecond) to scale.

Example:

<background> <file>infowall/background.jpg</file> </background>
