    To find out the ID of the plugin which you created with the multishortcut-Plugin, just look in the MultiShortCut.xml and find the line
    <entry name="pluginid">XXXX</entry>
    with XXXX ist the number you are looking for.

    As the label you define in the Multishortcut-Plugin for your plugin is not transfered to the strings_xx.xml file. You have to add a line to create a new label in your language-file (f.e. Mediaportal\language\strings_en.xml) like
    <string id="29901">Minimize to Desktop</string> with for example 29901 is a new non used number you can use.

    Now use the plugin-id in the hyperlink line and the String id in the label line of you BasicHome.xml

    Hope this is right.

    basic menu mod

    heres a little basic home screen mod. this will only change the background on the basic home screen. It will however change the hover icons on all screens. the hulu button is for the firefoxIntegrator v1.3 plugin found here:

    FirefoxIntegrator v1.3

    i just set the home path to hulu. works great.

    also needed is:
    Moving Pictures
    My TV Series
    My Online Videos
    last.FM radio
    Shoutcast radio
    Netflix Manager
    wwiTV
    moving Pctures
    My tv series

    If anybody likes this and needs icons for other plugins let me know. I have free time.

    P.S. this is probibly far from perfect so not for complete newbs. everything except basichome.xml goes into skins\monochrome\media.

    Screenshot attached.

    Thanks for the above, Really like it. Is it possible you could upload the music icon as it is missing.

    Cheers

    Hello everybody!
    As many have PM me about the modified Monochrome (with background slideshow) skin that explodedk did for me i here have new links for downloading them. Theese files are not the originals from explodedk but modified by me having different background paths pointing to Application Data folders. Maybe I have made other changes to, I dont really remember....

    But here it is:
    BasicHome.xml - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage
    ExtraMenu.xml - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage
    GameMenu.xml - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage
    MusicMenu.xml - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage
    WatchMenu.xml - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage

    Hi
    is it possible to have different background for different menu?

    example.
    Moving Pictures -> backdrop folder
    TV Series -> fanart folder
    Image - > my personal folder.

    :) thanks ..

    yup.

    Ie:
    Code:
    <control>
    	<description>Menu6 BACKGROUND</description>
    	<id>1206</id>
    	<type>multiimage</type>
    	<posx>0</posx>
    	<posy>0</posy>
    	<width>1280</width>
    	<height>720</height>
    	<imagepath>#folder6</imagepath>
    	<timeperimage>30000</timeperimage>
    	<fadetime>800</fadetime>
    	<loop>yes</loop>
    	<randomize>True</randomize>
    	<visible>Control.IsVisible(1006)</visible>
    </control>
    So - when 1006 is visable, backdrops from a folder (here "#folder6", which is defined somewhere else - but you could use foldername, like "MovingPictures"

    Example is from https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...n-mod-streamedmp-53985/index3.html#post390760

    I'll explain better if needed :)
