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

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?
Thanks
David

No xml required. Add Apple Trailers to your favorites and then you can add that favorite to the menu via Settings > Skin > Custom Home.
