As suggested by pafro1, please post all custom menu mods here.

Have the file attached and include a screen shot, maybe a brief description as well?

Oh, and could somebody make this a sticky too

Update 27 march 2008 (GameMenu - added Music Trivia Plugin)

This is my customization for Monochrome and Indigo (thanks Psycho Reptile for your help):
Home Basic Menu with 5 sub-menu (Games, Listen, Watch, TV, Others).

Again: Thx for the great skin!

A little mod to increase WAF.

Intended to ise this way:
- Map all plugins that is visible in BHS to "Home". The rest is mapped to "plugins" and accessible through the button-right icon

(Now this shows that having submenus for skins has its advantages

)

Not sure if this is correctly placed.

I made some customasations to the movie menu.

ImageShack - Hosting :: screengs4.jpg

I moved the IMDB info a bit, replace the watched value with the director value.
Then I lowered the preview window to fit it in place, removed the play button because of overlay issues: rewind, FF and pause buttons still work, but will only be visible when the function is in prgoress; like in the orginall.
Removed the info ticker that was under the preview window. I did remove the line in the center but havn't made a screen of that yet.

Removed the title above the info (there where 3 titles in one screen, too much redurant info in a designer opinion)
After that I added a transparant block to seperate the info. I still need to make the block a bit smaller on the edges and re-align the text a bit more. If thats corrected I want to go a bit more advance and try to add logo's like in TVseries (1080P, 720P) above the date and clock on the right.

I love the Music screen in Indigo but I wanted more icons on the page so I fitted in another row by altering common.facade.music.xml. Screen 1 shows before and Screen 2 shows affect of my edited xml.

If you like my suggestion simply add my .xml to the Indigo folder and hey presto - four rows of big icons!

Please note that the upper left text ("234 Objects") is misplaced in your mod

I agree Spragleknas - this is far from perfect - the page numbers are on top of the bottom right icon too. I've tried altering these but gave up after a few tries. I will have another go. I suspect I will need to alter one of the other common xmls.

Thanks aj1405, I've been thinking about something like that for a while - similar to the Wii interface, a wall of icons that slide across the screen. What do you (anybody) think?

It looks great! I would like to see this!
