hmm.. you didn't get him. "move down" always uses library menus, enter always uses file mode. this is part of the main concept of this skin.

You can edit the xml (i think probably home.xml, jereon will know for sure)

hmmm.... I understood him just fine. I'm just trying to make the skin more "wife" proof.
(Press the button normal or using the down button would open up in library mode.)

Yes you can edit the main menu buttons in home.xml. There's a section right at the top commented as main menu.
Fore example the video button:
PHP Code:
<control type="button" id="1">
<width>120</width>
<label>3</label>
<onleft>6</onleft>
<onright>2</onright>
<onup>6</onup>
<ondown>1100</ondown>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideoFiles)</onclick>
<include>menubarButton</include>
</control>
You can edit the location by editing the <onclick> line. Examples of the locations can be found here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Opening_Windows_and_Dialogs

Any update on the plot info while using the fanart view? I don't mean to pry about this but it's currently my only problem with the skin.
I also have an idea for a feature. Currently the skin allows you to change the background which is great but, what if the skin pulled a random background from a folder? (set in the skin options) I have a nice collection of background and I would find it useful if the skin just randomly used one from my collection. Again, this is just an idea.

Any new updates?

I doubt I'll implement this. Actually I want to get rid of the "background noise" in favor of clarity. I would like this if there was a chance to pick a random background every hour or so. But the only way possible in xbmc right now makes the background change with every screen change. I find it to disturbing. There will be random backgrounds on the homescreen though.
XBMCG33K Wrote:Any new updates?Not yet I'm afraid. A lot has been done since the last release but it's definitely not ready for release yet. In fact, so much has changed that I am in doubt whether to release a new version under the Focus name. The main goals for focus have not been changed but it barely resembles previous versions. So maybe I will release it as a new skin, I'm not sure yet. Currently development is very much searching for the right format, so what I have at the moment may even change more.

Will you make Focus ready for PAL before switching to a new project? This would be nice in case you'd allow someone else to continue the Focus development. You've made a great/solid base for modifications....if it's finished. Focus in it's current form is fantastic but if it's not finished a bit harder to continue. Not that I'm applying for the job (no time, and not enough design skills
), but I do hope more skins according to your idea of usability will follow.
