To be honest I am not entirely sure if the code I am using will do plugins. It says script in the code and looks for .py
My guess is that it will not do plugins. Try pointing it to the script default.py on your xbox. I regards to getting programs on the main menu, you can go into home.xml and look for the scripts button section. Change activatewindow(scripts) to activatewindow(programs). Maybe I will just add the option for the user to choose what the button will do (ie. scripts or programs). You could just code your program window into your favorites.xml as well.
If you want I can PM you with a new music section that will have the party mode button on it. I never used it once so I took it off. It is very easy to add. Thanks for the suggestions!

Just got the updated version. Awesome job! Everything seems to be working fine so far. Thanks for fixing the things people mentioned. I like the option to have scripts and favorites on the Home Menu and the option to have the original XBMC logo (not that yours is bad). Very nice keep up the good work!
The weather and trailers work fine for me. I am pretty sure they have to be scripts though... not plugins.
Is there anyway you can make it an option to display the trailers and weather in the home menu too. Its not a big deal but could be a nice addition. I mainly just use Movies, TV Shows, Programs, Pictures and Scripts/Video Plugins. Maybe make shortcut on the Home Menu that says "Streaming Media" or something like that, that takes you to Video your video plugins. Just an idea. Thanks again for a nice skin.

Thanks for the suggestions Plankton. Glad it is working good for you.
For the home page, it sounds like you don't use weather, so you could go into home.xml and rename weather to "Streaming Video" and then make the path activatewindow(scripts) or whatever window you want.
I have been messing around with home to adjust the home page. It has been tough because I need to make a new gray area that holds the buttons. It needs to be different sizes for the different humber of button (I am not to good with photoshop). It is something I am trying to achieve though....no promises.
If there is anything else you want to see done, please suggest it and I will do my best.

Did you ever look into doing a music view like the PMIII coverflow view like you had talked about?
Thanks for a great mod.......

Sounds great. Looking forward to the update.
One tiny thing I noticed. The first time I used this skin the loading bars and highlighted items were green by default. Now they are Blue. I checked my skin theme and it was on default. I changed it to blue and there was no change. Maybe a slight glitch. I do like the green better. But no biggie.

I know. Copied it and changed all the nfo's to test stuff.
For anyone who grabbed a quick copy of the new version, you might notice something wrong on the homepage. A new fixed version is uploaded.
