View select dialog icons

[skyfsza]

Would` it be possible to add an option to provide "icons" for each view type that are shown in the view change dialog?

Thinking similar to what skin helper does with its custom dialogs, eg:

<setting id="NetflixTVHub_Style" value="Landscape" label="Landscape" icon="special://skin/extras/viewthumbs/54.jpg" description=""/>

In skinvariables, maybe something like this? "viewtypes": { "50": "List", "special://skin/extras/viewthumbs/50.jpg", "51": "Banner", "special://skin/extras/viewthumbs/51.jpg", "52": "Poster", "special://skin/extras/viewthumbs/52.jpg"

Yeah I was thinking the same the other day. Added.

To use just add a section "icons"

{
    "prefix": "Exp_View",
    "viewtypes": {
        "50":  "Tags",
        "51":  "Square",
        "52":  "Poster",
        "53":  "Seasons",
        "54":  "Landscape",
        "55":  "List",
        "500": "List"
    },
    "icons": {
        "50":  "special://skin/extras/viewtypes/tags.jpg",
        "51":  "special://skin/extras/viewtypes/square.jpg",
        "52":  "special://skin/extras/viewtypes/posters.jpg",
        "53":  "special://skin/extras/viewtypes/seasons.jpg",
        "54":  "special://skin/extras/viewtypes/landscape.jpg",
        "55":  "special://skin/extras/viewtypes/list-landscape.jpg",
        "500": "special://skin/extras/viewtypes/list-square.jpg"
    }
}

It will work without icons. If icons are specified, then the view type selector will use the detailed version of DialogSelect.xml instead.

Perfect, thanks!

@skyfsza - I've also added a window property in case you want to change the configuration of DialogSelect.xml by including a different layout.

You can check if the view type selector is visible with: !String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(SkinViewtypes.DialogIsActive))

I was just going to ask for that, you read my mind :)

Thanks!
