This makes me curious...this dedicated box is for you or are you trying to sell the box as appliance?
Would be interested in that...

No, its meant for just my a-technical wife and young kids. No plans for any public deployments . However it might fill a gap, cause i have the feeling that XBMC/OpenElec could appeal to more users if the out-of-the-box experience was more intuitive. By default it feels like a technical media solution intended for tech-capable people. btw i'm doing this on a Zotac ZBox, Logitech Harmony remote, OpenElec/Confluence Mod and a NAS.

These two buttons are in home.xml...
Search for control id="20" and you should finde them...

Thanx, but the downside is that this change would require me to make my first custom mod on your custom mod. Then i have to merge my changes on every update on your side. My feeling however is that this little feature would fit well in the MOD-settings -> Home -> Customize home section.

If you see the benefits but don't want to spend time on it, would you accept a github pull request if i fixed it?

Ok...making a toggle option isn't that hard...let's see when this will happen...

BTW: pull requests are always welcome as they mean I don't have to do the work
Seriously every help is appreciated...so feel free the submit PRs for whatever you want in the MOD

Let me dig a bit into it...maybe I'll find the issue..and thanks for reporting...
BTW: Did you check the greek strings.xml of the MOD to see that the issue does not come from a damaged strings.xml?

Just checked it , i hope i looked in the right place , i'm new to xbmc.
I looked into /storage/.xbmc/addons/skin.moddedconfluence/language/Greek/strings.xml
all the entries are good , allthough i didn't find any entries for the horizontal menu

There is a problem with the greek font in Confluence as well. There is only capital "O" included, it seems.

No there is not.

Default xbmc confluence has no font problem

Can you fix custom playlists on home screen? Right now can only pick one, because one gives an error. Would love 4

You're running nightlies, methinks

Max's skin doesn't use the new Roboto font which is used by Confluence in the nightlies.

Roboto has other issues with Greek

also my xbmc only shows version 1.0.8 available via xbmcnerds rep?

Matt,
I was in the same situation as you, and couldn't find the script in the passion repo. After searching on google, I found this on passion-xbmc.org's site, which seems to work. I don't think I received confirmation that the zip ever installed correctly, and I can't find it in my list of enabled scripts, but I see options when I click on DB-Editor now.
