One more thing, if you guys dont mind...

If I want to make more than the three premapped coustom main menu buttons I have to edit the Includes_Home.xml file, isnt that true? Ive done it in windows 7 before, but can you please tell me how to edit Includes_Home.xml within openelectv?

i can't. never used it myself and my understanding is, it's stripped down to the bone so it may lack the tools to do so.

maybe just edit it on your windows machine and transfer it to your openelectv machine?

nano or vim should be included, otherwise do it on windoze and ftp it over as ronie said

What do you mean about "nano or vim should be included"? Can I copy the edited file to an usb stick (from my windowsmachine) and transfer it to my htpc using the filemanager within xbmc, or do I have to do it outside xbmc? I dont know the codes in linux to ftp it over:confused2:

I apologize my linux "noobness":)

you can use edit the file if you login via ssh (putty) (username: root, password: openelec):

Code:
nano /storage/.xbmc/addons/skin.transparency/720p/Includes_Home.xml

after the changes save with <CTRL>+<O> and quit with <CTRL>+<X>

This starts to be off topic, but I have more questions

I downloaded putty.exe from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtat...nload.html and installed it on my win7 computer, logged in with user: root and password: openelec, and then typed the code: nano /storage/.xbmc/addons/skin.transparency/720p/Includes_Home.xml.

But then, when I press "ctrl"+"R" (read file), no text is comming up on the screen. I dont know if Ive done anything wrong? I guess I fumbling in the dark here
