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 .

Hi guys, I was thinking of creating two raws of 3 icons each (6 big icons in total). So before I start looking into, is it any possible? Thanks.

Guys can some one tell me if this is possible or not? Thanks.

Yes its possible. you can put as many buttons/icons on screen as you can fit!

Thanks revs, but I'm trying to achieve double the size of icons, this will require modifications to the media file, right?

What do I need to do to replace the MyFilms with MovingPictures in the Watch tab?

If you mean you want the buttons to be twice as big on screen, then you can double the Height and Width and it will stretch.

Dont forget to move them as well or you will get a nasty overlap

With all the new movie-related plugins, I made a Watch Menu with buttons for

• playing DVD
• standard Videos plugin
• TV series plugin (selected by default)
• My Films plugin (based on ANT or other catalog)
• Moving Pictures

The Play DVD works on my test-machine, which has the SVN of 5th of september installed.

I sit far from TV, so I wanted large icons and labels. This layout works perfectly for me!

Changes from original layout:
1. Double sized icons and labels
2. In order to fit as many icons as I can, had to lay icons into 2 rows of 3
3. Animation, 10% zoom for icon with current focus
4. Animation, all icons fade in/out for 350ms when menus open/close
5. Selecting "Other" in Basicmenu launches Extramenu
6. "Other" in Extramenu takes us back to Basicmenu

You should be able to put your 10 favorites icons on both screens easily.

Hope you like it

Does Moving Pictures work for you? All I get is this error message:
