Sorry guys, haven't had a chance to update this lately.

Sambal, thanks for ALL the work you've done. I will merge these changes into the last version I released so it will have all of your features as well. If you are close to being done with the RSS changes, I will add them as well and reupload to the repository.

antony - yeah, I'll add that as an option.

Because the BasicHome.xml, as used by Aeon Wide 1.0, no longer uses images for selected/unselected items you can type whatever text you like in the menueditor. I left the image options out completely.

I know it is frustrating if you make a mistake and have to redo all your work. Jburnette or myself will implement this feature. I saw that a start was already made to implement this feature by jburnette.

Opening the existing menu, reordering the menuitems and being able to edit the items are all on my todo list :)

Other feature requests can be posted ofcourse. We'll see what we can do ;)

Excellent! :)

But the font size in your version is tiny tiny tiny compared to the original menu. Can this be changed?
I really like the fonts and size in the original menu.

This is probably because your fonts.xml doesn't have a definition for font24 used by this BasicHome. Do you use the release 1.0 version? If not try the fonts.xml supplied in the 1.0 package.

Or you can add the following code to your fonts.xml
Code:
  <font>
    <name>font24</name>
    <filename>Bell Gothic Bold BT</filename>
    <height>24</height>
    <start>0</start>
    <end>1536</end>
    <bold>yes</bold>
  </font>

How about adding support for the RSS ticker plugin?

I didn't check out the changes made by JakeyMouse until this afternoon. I really like the possibility to have the rssfeed on the BasicHome page. Don't really care about the weather on this page but the RSS feed is really nice.

So i've altered the menugenerator to support these changes. If you have the changed WindowPlugins.dll by JakeyMouse, be sure to check the checkbox to generate support. If you don't, the crowding fix won't work and you start off with a messy menu.

Please notice that you need to follow installation instructions provided by JakeyMouse in his release package before using this option. Also, copy the MediaPortal/skin/Indigo/Home folder from his installation package to MediaPortal/skin/Aeon wide. Just checking this option doesn't do you any good if you don't have the plugin :)

I noticed there was a bug regarding placement of the crowding fix. Fixed that as well.

    Perhaps adding a web-link in the program to the needed files/forum thread?

    Like this:
    "Enable RSS Ticker Plugin to Basic Home" CLICK FOR INFO ABOUT TICKER PLUGIN/DOWNLOAD

    Just a suggestion. Thanks a LOT.

    Sambal, please feel free to put this in the repository replacing the one I've already submitted. I've been working on finishing up some other things and you've made serious strides over what I had originally done with this.

    I've uploaded the files to svn.

    Next on my list is loading the current menu so you can make changes and don't have to redo everything.

    I'll let you guys know when it's done.

    And here it is ;) Next version.

    I've added support to reposition items in the list. This way you can first add all items you like and then order them the way you want. If you make a mistake, just remove the wrong item, add the new one and position as you like.

    New version available for download here.
