Finished mockups for Skin Configuration.

General "Tab"

• "showFanartBackgrounds" - Show fanart as backgrounds throughout the theme, use fanart for selected item where available
• "animateBackgrounds" - Animate backgrounds, see Aoen NOX as an example.
• "showBreadcrums" - Show current Window at the top left below Essence Logo if it is enabled.
• "showSkinLogo" - Show "Essence" logo in top left corner at all times.
• "showXBMCLogo" - If TRUE Show "XBMC" logo in top left corner at all times, overrides "showSkinLogo".
• "showWeather" - Show weather information to the right of time & date.
• "showHeaderAlways" - Controls if the header always shown, if it is disabled it will only show on homescreen.
• "showSmallHeader" - Shows a smaller header time with a gradient background instead of the big header, this will replace the big header if enabled. Make sure to code notification windows to take this in account.

Home Screen "Tab"

• "showLargeNowPlaying" - Toggle between large or small "Now Playing" information on homescreen.
• "homescreenGlow" - Enable or Disable backgroundglow on homescreen menu focused items.

SkinSettings.xml has been introduced.
XBMC will enable a setting under Look And Feel -> Skin - Settings for a button that will link to SkinSettings.xml

This is to avoid the confusion between "how do I change the skin" and the "Skin settings" that most skins have.

Skinners should, if they wish:

1. Rename their custom skin settings window SkinSettings.xml.
2. Drop the id in that file (no longer required).
3. Update the rest of the skin to no longer contain shortcuts to the skin settings window, as XBMC now provides it.
