Thanks Psycho Reptile for directing me to this post.

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?

    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 :p

    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.

    New layout

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

    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 :D

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

    "Sorry there was a problem loading skin file"
