hitting escape key to go back to main menu, the screen its Black,
work my way to the shutdown screen and choose "Settings".

is it entirely black?
or just a black background, but with the menu and all?

if it's the first, please post a debug log.

for the second, when playing music, switch to fullscreen ('tab')
bring up the music OSD ('m') and hit the icon with the rectangle sign.
you can setup the background that's used when playing music there.

if you've selected a visualization, make sure it's not set to none.
one of the other buttons on the music OSD allows you to select one of the available visualisations.

also check the options in Settins > Skin Setting > Home window.

i got my screen back. not sure how.
it wasnt the visualization set none.
the only key that worked was the "s" key which took me to the shutdown menu, thats how i could get to Settings screen,
it had something to do with the Background setting, because i changed them back to default, and thats how i got the home screen back,
last thing i remember doing was changing the Movie and Music screen to the optional screen.
sorry no log,
but i did change them back to optional screen and they work,
so i dont know WTF happened
