How do you configure your Throgsoft themes
In general all view options are tunable through the menu interface of any theme,The customization can be reached through the Display & Behaviour tab through the ThrogSoft menu system.

The Display & Behaviour tab has been organized by subdividing the various tunable parameters into five categories. This should provide quick an easy access for the user. Currently the Display & Behaviour tab has the following categories:

  • Overlays
  • Posters
  • Skin
  • FanArt & Meta
  • Navigation

All options under in these tabs have either a global effect (ALL Views) or a local effect (THIS View Only). For the purposes of this article they will be defined in the following manner:

  • Global: ALL views
  • Cached: THIS view

 

OVERLAYS:
The overlays tab provides the user with the ability to toggle (on/off) the icon overlays on the items in your scrollers. For all intensive purposes these are the same options available through the MediaBrowser Configuration Panel.

  • Unwatched Indicator – Global : Shows any unwatched items
  • Watched Indicator – Global : Shows any watched items
  • HD Indicator – Global : Shows the HD rating of an Item (720 / 1080)
  • Remote Indicator – Global : Shows if the item is located remotely

POSTERS:
The posters tab allows you to change the type of image used to represent the items in your scrollers, the size of each item, the spacing between them, and the dim setting experience by each when the item is not in focus.

  • Type – Cached : Allows you to change between the various images

Certain Views use ClearLogo and Title meta in the same location in these cases the display will be based on the following logic:

  • ClearLogo: On, Title: On => Show ClearLogo, if none exists Show Title
  • ClearLogo: On, Title: Off => Show ClearLogo Only
