Is it posible to have a infobox show like the debug info if network/internet connection is down or system is muted or any other basic stuff that is needed to have when xbmc is started?

I have XBMC start on windows start and therefor I do not notice if the network connection is down. So it would be nice to have a box showing to inform that the network is down.

make a pythonscript to do whatever checks you want on startup. I have one that pings my fileserver and tells me the status of that.

You could also try the boolean condition of System.HasNetwork to show some skin stuff. though I'm not sure if it works on anything but the xbox but no real reason it shouldn't
