I need to remove Basic Home or Home for a specific skin.

ThaClown · 2008-07-01, 08:04

This has been asked before, but I would really like this option so i'll ask it again:

Is there any way to assign the BASIC HOME or HOME screen to be the DEFAULT and ONLY option for a skin?
What i'd like:

Monochrome: HOME
Aeon: BASIC HOME
X-Face: HOME
SpinSafe1080: BASIC HOME

This would improve the WAF immensly and would enable my girlfiend to change skins herself without getting in a panic...

I tried:
Copy HOME.XML over BASIC HOME.XML (with editing links in xml) > Doesnt work
Assiging the Start button to HOME or BASIC HOME only > Works but I want different home screen for each skin...

Mapping the "Green button"/"H" to "Home" in stead of "Switch home" is the best solution I've found.

This is not doable for BHS, though ...

I also would love this. I want only the Basic Home in Monochrome.

Am I wrong in thinking that this sould not be too hard? The ability to select a skin (inside MP) already exists, as does the ability to select a Home screen (in the config).

Cant the default Home Screen selection be make skin specific? Assign a Home screen with each skin in the config...
