    And - another (general) question - is it possible to change the colour of the selected Homeitem or increase the fontsize when scrolling through the items?

    Yes and yes. :) But at the moment, as things stand, it seems that this will have to be hard coded into the xml file as the "SkinSettings --->Miscellaneous ---> Set List Colors... " doesn't seem to work apart from within the actual "Settings" config itself. (Haven't got that far to looking into the reason for this as yet)

    What font size do you want and what colours? Use http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp to find the hex code for the colour.

    Can you upload your actual xml files rather than ones from the mpei as I want to check for any irregularities.

    Hm - maybe something like 003366 for the selected ones - but probably giving the selection a background like this would be more usefull? What irretates me most is that it is not centered below the Menue ... maybe the list can also moved so it centers?

    The xml's I uploaded are the ones I'm using

    OK...understood.

    Oops....I've got your xml's now (my fault...opened the wrong zip file)

    In my opinion this is one of the best skins (if not the best) but it needs some house-keeping and consolidating to support all of its features fully. I am going to try and achieve this and release a "mpei" file but I have a feeling it may take some time.

    I'll have a look at your xml's and get back to you.

    It is - absolute. Making most out of the space availible without overloading. And happy to see that community is taking care :)

    Didn't they also introduce some effects with the last MP Build?

    Got Tetris working, just copied mytetris.xml from default wide to the avalllonis dir and replaced the excisting. Now I can play tetris again :)

    I still have an issue with two things.

    1) For some reason with my Radio channels (i use 4TR for TV/Radio backend) it replaces my radio screen sometimes with a LastFM screenshot, sometimes with a boat. And sometimes it just sticks with the default picture which belongs to that radio channel. I'll add a screenshot to make it more clear. I don't use LastFM and have disabled the plugin. It never has been enabled. So don't know where this comes from.

    2) Can't seem to figure out how i can just list .avi / .mkv files within the video section. I don't want it scraped, i don't want to see nice pictures with it, i just want to see a directory listing. So i don't want to use the video database. I use a different plugin for movies (moving pictures) with a different folder for the movies. Can someone help with this?
