Hi all! In Confluence skin's Home.xml i can add these lines:
</item>
<item id="13">
<label>TV</label>
<icon>special://skin/backgrounds/videos.jpg</icon>
<onclick>XBMC.System.Exec(C:\PROGRA~1\DVBViewer\dvbviewer.exe
</onclick>
This adds TV button to homescreen which opens dvbviewer program and minimizes XBMC. So is it possible to do the same thing with this great Night skin?
Night's Home.xml is so different.

Many thanks.

Can you add a .exe as a fav then add it to Home? if yes, that'll be the easiest...

If using Vertical Home it's Home.xml
If using Horizontal Home it's Includes_HomeHorrizontal.xml

Search for <content> and you'll find the area you need...

Thank you! This link solved problem. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...=dvbviewer

These lines works in Night's Home.xml

<item id="15">
<description>TV</description>
<label>$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom1_Label)]</label>
<icon>special://skin/media/backgrounds/custom.jpg</icon>
<thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom1_Folder)]</thumb>
<onclick>XBMC.System.Exec(C:\PROGRA~1\DVBViewer\dvbviewer.exe)</onclick>
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(Menu_Custom1)</visible>
</item>

Now i can start Dvbviewer and when i exit from it xmbc comes back again!

This is really super skin. Thank's.
