I have a question about xmls that don't generally get used. I'm not going to be using the Wizard files in the skin I'm working on and have in fact removed the button from my Settings screen, since I have never needed it. As I don't want to re-skin dialog xmls that don't show up anywhere except when you are using the Setup Wizard, I'd...

If all else fails, you can create your menu buttons without a label, then place the label separately over the button (2 copies for each focused and unfocused conditions, with appropriate visibility). I don't think this will work for animated/scrolling menu's (facade and MyHome menu) but works great for static menus.

Hi!
I'm having some trouble with mytvguide.xml. I have tried both version 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 ALPHA and I can't get my animation to trigger on WindowClose in the TV-guide. Is there anyone who know if this is a known bug or has someone got this to work in this specific file?
Regards,
Kabiki

I don't think the 'white.bmp' is used for anything else. It is 13x13 but when it is stretched for the keyboard text box, it looks absolutely crappy (imo), so I enlarged it to 50x500 and put a border around it. Now the keyboard has nice square corners and is set off from the background.

you can not remove default plugins xml´s from skins for mediaportal.
All default Pluginstuff must be inside a skin to work proper for MP.
So all Pluginstuff what is inside original default skin Blue3, you can not delete in the skins.
But you can change the gfx to empty ones with same names. 1 pixel * 1 pixel size.

This done using "FlipY".
Easiest way of finding out how to use it, is by looking at a skin that already uses it, as the wiki (IIRC) lacks information regarding this (amongst other things).
