I will watch this space

I like your skin but the audio controls in the music section has disapeared !
How to bring it back ? is it possible to have it also in the home menu ?
A last question : is it possible have the meteo panel when starting ?
Thanx for your answers
Fred
Rocky5 Wrote:The reason there not there is because i use a version that is older than the new ones this feature isn't present in my version though its added now so it will be in the new version.
fred08 Wrote:its cool
what is a meteo panel
Oh sorry it is a french word !!!!
i wanted to say Weather picture
In fact, it appears when you put the mouse cursor on the weather menu
Rocky5 Wrote:You want weather fanart? that's easy will add this if that is what you mean or do you mean the weather info on the home screen when you highlight the weather button? that should still work also i have just ported all my work over to a new revision of PM3.HD so all is well all the new features are present + all mine just need to fix views now lol.
fred08 Wrote:To be more detailled, i would like when XBMC start to see the home page and see how the weather is (just the little icon - not the 5 days when you clik).

I'm using the 13/04/2009 update and cannot figure out how to get the custom plugin background to work under Videos > Plugins. I've enabled it under Extras Backgrounds, but it is defaulting to whatever I have under "Videos button - Enable Custom Backgrounds" under the regular Backgrounds tab in skin settings.
Also, the Applications button under Other doesn't go to the path I specified under Extras > Applications Custom Locations. I'm trying to get it to open up Q:\plugins\programs\ but it fails to go there. I've also tried E:\Apps\XBMC\plugins\programs, but I get the same result. Instead, it goes to "xbmc media center - Programs" where it shows the Program plugins menu and Add source. I can eventually click on Program plugins and it goes to where I want it, but I was wondering why I was unable to get it to go there by pointing to its location.
I've been able to mess around with the labeling and made "Other" become "Games/Apps" and "Arcade" turn into "Xbox Games" and put in pics for everything. It's the first time I've tweaked the inside of a skin and am amazed at how customizable they are.
I've tried figuring out how to get Programs to point to where I specified under settings and get Video Plugins to read where I specified, but it's beyond my limited scope of relabeling buttons.
Which files need to be edited to get these issues to work? I've looked in Home.xml, the custom_xxx.xml's, MyVideo.xml, MyPrograms.xml and haven't found it or have overlooked it.
Thanks for this great mod!
EDIT: I found out that the custom background for Video Plugins only shows incorrectly if I have the Video File Mode hidden.
