Hi.

I've been playing around with creating new Theater View skins. For the most part, the Main.xml file has been pretty easy to understand with a little bit of trial an error. Is there a document to explain MJFS 1.8 (or any version for that matter) anywhere? If not, maybe someone can help me with one specific problem. This block is in the Main.xml file of most of the skins:

<TEXT>
   <Item Text="[Location]" Location="***" TextColor="FFFFFF" Rect="2.5,0.2,89.0,5.4" Capitalization="0" Alignment="0" />
   <Item Text="[Time]" Location="***" TextColor="FFFFFF" Rect="90.0,0.2,99.0,5.4" Capitalization="0" Alignment="1" />
</TEXT>

It's pretty self explanitory. It displays the Location of the current screen, and the system time at the top of the screen. Is there a list of other text items that can be displayed? Perhaps song/artist info etc...

Thanks!
Lance

I'm not sure if it works or not, but you could try [Artist] or [Album] or whatnot. Basically any of the field names inside []. But like I said I don't know if Theater View supports that or not.

Doesn't seem to support that. I've tried all kinds of things inside the square brackets but 'Time' and 'location' are all that seem to work. Kinda strange.
