See if the following works: Try changing

Quote:<item id="4">
<label>Animes</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoFiles,///Animes,return)</onclick>
<icon>special:///Hellsing.jpg</icon>
<thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Home_Custom_Back_Video_Folder)]</thumb>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoMovieButton)</visible>
</item>

Which one of these configs determine the image that appears when the movies that have no fanart, or when the FOLDER UP (..) is selected?

When a movie fan art is missing, I don't want that other movie's fan art appear. I prefer some neutral movies that are in my Movie folder.

Would it be possible to do something like this except I want the custom menu item to go to the file (NOT library) view of one particular video source. I'm using the latest Aeon MQ2 if that makes a difference.

I can't even find where the aeon files are, it's been installed from .zip on two different machines but even searching the HDD for the words MQ2 shows no results...

People, have you seen this? Is for Confluence.

It's interesting! I though that the changes made configuring in the XBMC would appear in the Home.xml. But it doesn't! I liked that it created the possibility to select a folder to multi image for the New Menu you create in the background customizer.

But the new menu doesn't appear in the same place where we edit the Home.xml. How can we config the folder for multi image for our new menu by hand? Or we could find the new menu in this custom Home.xml.

Hi myth I've follies your tutorial and gave managed to add the custom menus and all are working but I'm having problems adding sub menus I can't seem to find
<include name="SubMenu">
<control type="group" id="8000">

Your help would be much appreciated. I love the skin neon and would like to keep using it cheers!

Something strange I noticed with my Transparency skin custom home menu:

One day I switched my XBMC box on - and there was just a blank screen! I eventually worked out that Transparency had updated itself and undone all of the changes I did to customise the menus.

Since I had nothing else selected in the menu options it just showed a black screen with no menu options.

I was easily able to put it back with my backup files, but be warned - if your skin gets updated it could undo the customisation you make.

awesome! how would you do this on a mac?

has anyone already gone to the trouble of making this for aeon or another skin and wouldn't mind uploading an addon/new skin? im on mac so i don't see these xml files i think (?).

ideally i'd just want anime/movies/music/tv shows... basically just +animes. if anyone can help.. please .

i just want to add (bluray + Documentaries) with the current menu.
do i need to edit anime.xsp to (bluray.xsp + documentaries.xsp ) only?
