PM3HD Question

[Yacdogg]

Is there a way to put TV Shows and Videos on the home screen of PM3HD (I don't use Pictures, so I could replace that with TV Shows, If I do that can I change the order) ?

There are some instructions for modding PM3HD in this thread.
If you need more specific help let me know.

Currently the PM3HD button order is Videos, Music, Pictures, Weather, Scripts, Settings (top to bottom). I would like it to be Emulators (E:/Emulators), Games (F:/Games), Movies (G:/Movies), TV Shows (G:/TV Shows), Music (F:/Music), Weather (If can add a button), and Settings

You didn't mention whether or not you use library. If you do, try this.
Back up your PM3.HD/720/Home.xml. Then copy this one over and reboot.

Then go to settings>skin settings>backgrounds and edit the fanart.
You'll need to use...

• Scripts to edit Emulators
• Programs to edit Games
• Pictures to edit Movies
• Videos to edit TV Shows

The rest are default.

Yes, I do use Library, sorry bout that. I'll give that home.xml a shot. and report back

[Yacdogg]

Thank you Spongy, exactly what I wanted. If anyone is interested. here is what it looks like with the Home.xml that Spongy posted.








And I plan on changing to poster view, I already of .jpg loaded on xbox for games, just have to change them to .tbn and delete wide ones

Hey, I noticed on your pics of your Home window, that you had the same problem I did when adding that extra menu entry. The background image isn't setup to hold an extra menu entry. So I replaced it.



If anyone wants the edit, let me know, and I'll upload the edited Textures.xpr and Home.xml files.

Also, I'm wondering why does the text get cut off, where I've circled in PM3HD? Does anyone know what I have to edit to fix this? I've been trying to find it, but can't seem to yet. And is there a way to fix this "system-wide", or will I have to go to each individual window's .XML file and edit it?

Did you increase your font size? I don't have this problem.

To fix it, you need to edit this section of includes.xml

Code: Select all

	<include name="WindowTitleCommons">
		<posx>110</posx>
		<posy>50</posy>
		<width>1060</width>
		<height>30</height>
		<font>font18</font>
		<textcolor>white</textcolor>
		<scroll>false</scroll>
		<align>left</align>
		<aligny>center</aligny>
		<include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>
	</include>

My guess is you need to increase the <height> and maybe move it up a little (decrease <posy>).

Thanks, that led to a fix. Increasing the size/position didn't work, as it was actually how the font is supposed to look. It was displaying this way in other menus as well.

"humanist_521_condensed_bt.tff" has a little bit of the letters cut off at the bottom, while "humanist_521__bt.tff" displays fine. So I just replaced the condensed one with the normal one, and it fixed it system wide.
