Thats my queue. I'll look at the tutorials and give it a shot, might need a tip or two on the way. Shocked

Look in Home.xml and includes_Home.xml. The only file you should be editing is includes_Home.xml. I try to make it self-documenting as much as possible.

...all in the includes_home.xml. I think I am missing something or a lotShocked

Didn't change the items. This was just to see if it would trigger the submenu on the home menu and change the skin settings...neither.

scarfa,

a suggestion.... Would it be possible to have a volume bar, instead of DB level?? would just look nicer i think.

Cheers,
Loggio.

A great skin. Will be using this on an Acer Revo in preference to Aeon MQ2. A couple of requests...

1) Music home category - can there be an option to default to "Albums" rather than music library?
2) Music - Recently Added widget - can it show new albums rather than songs?
3) Music - Now playing - any chance of CDart?
4) Movies/TV show views - use poster.jpg, banner.pg
5) Custom categories/sub-menus - an option to add playlist without first having to save as favorite.
6) Homescreen widgets - seem to jump around the screen a little? Any chance to keep them the same side of the screen? (just personal taste i guess)

Excellent work though and can't wait for next release.
Thanks
Dave

Music - Now playing - any chance of CDart?

And cd cases (same as in mq2 or nox) would be super!! Big Grin

Yep, Scarfa is aware of this.
