Hi just a little question how easy is it to change what the menu buttons say at the side of this skin....?

Thanks all

ps. i want to change `programs` to Drawings` for use at work

Look for this section in Home.xml
You can write 'Drawings' in the label and you need to edit the onclick to do what you want.

Do you want to open a folder with the drawing?
If so, it's easier to add a source in pictures.

Thank you xbs ur a star...i`ll keep you posted on my `Idea` lol

Now call me blind but i can not see what im looking for here lol

heres the Home.xml

close, but no... the text should be between the tags:

great...now lets see what i can do lol

Right..still struggling with this one...ive managed to change one menu item....but i seem to be taking one step forward and two steps back...ive moved to PM3 HD skin for the moment...what im trying to do is use XBMC as a Info point on the shopfloor/workshops displaying scanned Jpegs...mainly CAD drawings scanned in...safety information etc at the end of the day im wanting all the menu items doing the same thing as `pictures` in the standard Skin.

i want to leave `videos` as is...so ppl can go there to view safety videos.

I want the background to change so ppl know what department there assessing info for.

I want `music` menu item hidden untill management have gone home

my xbox 720p

anybody there...? lol

I'm not sure, but it sounds like you're trying to replace buttons (programs,weather,scripts) with buttons that lead directly to sub folders in your pictures source. As an example I show how to replace the programs button with a button that leads to a folder of nature pictures I have.

Open PM3.HD/720p/Home.xml.
Find the <content> section and look for the programs button.

This is the default code for the programs button. First edit the label <label>0</label>
With the name you want <label>Nature</label>

Edit the onclick <onclick>ActivateWindow(Programs)</onclick>
With the location you want <onclick>ActivateWindow(10002,"smb://HOME-PC/My Pictures/Nature/")</onclick>
Don't know what to put here? Add the folder you want to your favorites then you can find the location in UserData/Favorites.xml.

Edit the icon <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/programs.jpg</icon>
With the icon you want <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/nature.jpg</icon>
This requires a nature.jpg be placed in PM3.HD/backgrounds.

If you leave the <thumb> code, you can change the background in settings > skin settings > backgrounds > programs.
I would just delete it, and use the <icon> code above.

Delete the <visible> code.

This is what I ended up with. None of this is tested, but it should work.

You will no longer have a programs button, so you may want to add it too your favorites before you do this.

Music button coming soon.

For the music button, I would just add it to favorites so it's always there, but out of sight.
If you want it on the main menu with the ability to hide it, keep reading.

Again in the <content> section of Home.xml
The music button is actually two buttons. One for library mode and one for files mode.

Since you no longer have a programs button, we can use it's settings to show/hide the music button.

Here is the default code for the music buttons. Edit the visibility <visible>Library.HasContent(Music)</visible> and <visible>!Library.HasContent(Music)</visible>
Add the programs settings <visible>Library.HasContent(Music) + Skin.HasSetting(ProgramsInHome)</visible> and <visible>!Library.HasContent(Music) + Skin.HasSetting(ProgramsInHome)</visible>

What you should end up with. Now you can go to settings > skin settings > home window > show programs in main menu.

If you want it to say "show music" instead of "show programs".
Open custom_SkinSettings_1111.xml and find the control below. Edit the label <label>20082</label>
With what you want <label>show music in main menu</label>

Again, none of this is tested.

Great.......Thank you for this....you are a Star

Heres how far i have got...lol a mobile video.

You just need to repeat this process for each button.

If you can't figure it out.

Add each of the folders you want opened to your favorites, then upload home.xml and favorites.xml somewhere and I'll edit it.
