I love the Neon skin but would like to add to the home screen a link that takes me to a section where I can select movie trailers, YouTube and other program addons. Is this possible?
Thanks
David

Selecting the option doesnt do anything. I think I need a "How To" on this. David HTPC1: Intel Pentium G620, 4GB RAM, AMD HD6570, Samsung 830 SSD, Silverstone GD05 case.

Add what you want on the home screen to your favorites (just press "C" on an item, and then "Add to Favorites"). Once in Favorites, you can add it to the home screen in Settings.

Ok, this is not happening for me!
To be clear on what I am trying to do........... There is an ADDONS option on the home screen that when you select it it takes you to a screen that displays some of the enabled addons like MCERemote, RSS Editor and Cinema Experience but it doesn't show YouTube or Apple Movie Trailers. What I want is to have a home screen option called say TRAILERS that when I select it I go to a screen that has YouTube and Apple Movie Trailers on it that I can then select and use the plugin just like with the ADDONS option. All I can do at present is add a Home Screen item and add a favorite to it but that means having a Home Screen item for everything I want to access. How do I do that?

Roll up your sleeves and write some xml!
There really is no way to do what you want. At best you could have it go to the video addons, but you can already do that via the Videos menu item.

Thanks stoli, I think I will use the submenu from the VIDEOS menu.

Go to Videos > Addons. Not Settings > Addons.
