I second this. I would love to use this and probably still will on my original xbox but will still like a programs tab. can a folder be added as a shortcut in favorites? I would test this but my xbox died last week and I will be picking up another in the next week or so....

i'm using mediastream in the interim... kinda like it; sort of the hollywood version of PMIII.HD and it finally turned me over to library mode.
I don't know why the heck mediastream skin has videos, movies, and tv off the main blade though with seemingly no way to assign each to a different folder... maybe they are for different shares, but xbmc always remembers last so I guess you can see the problem with that. Anyway I digress...

The startup screen thing is a bug. Please post a trac report about it.
The missing programs is not a bug - it's by design, as most platforms don't have it.

It's not a question of "leaving it on". The skin was designed from the ground up without it. It's thus a question of adding it in. I'm sure a patch would be most welcome (obviously only enabled when the platform is xbox).
Cheers,
Jonathan

I won't, no. Whether anyone else does is up to them. Thus the request for a patch.
Cheers,

I always wondered why it was not a standard user option (for all skins) to enable/disable any individual home page menu's.
I can not imagine why someone would exclude programs, any more than they would exclude a video/movie, music or pictures menu.
As with all things, I guess it comes down to user preference and/or developer perogative.

Because the more options you add the harder it is for new users to get to grips with it
Programs was deliberately not done because OSX win32 and Linux that the skin was made for can not properly run programs.
This is the whole reason the old PM3 is still included in the SVN so people can still use it on xbox and be no worse off then they were the day before PM3.HD was added

They can go anywhere you like they work perfectly fine from the videos pictures or music plugin section.
But my original Idea was to actually give scripts its own plugins section for the ones like script downloader
