[QUOTE="m.standish, post: 93712, member: 22329"] Im trying to call an external string, and not sure how to do it. Ive been editing a few skins in the last 2 weeks and i got vis studio about 2 hours ago so i guess that classes me as a newbie eh! Specifically Im trying to get cpu temp & load in the basic home screen. from my status plugin. im getting this from visual c I think its something like putting a contol, lable as #mediaportal.gui.guistatus.sensortypes this is where im stuck as in vis studio ive got MediaPortal.GUI.GUIStatus\ GUIstatus.sensortypes\ Listed in here is temperature,fan,hd I believe these are the variables i want but i dont know how to format the lable so it calls these. This is my guess at it and what i think they are there for <control> <description>actual sensor</description> --- my description, can be whatever i want?? <type>label</type> <id>123123123</id> --- a unused number (at least in this page) <posX>450</posX> <posY>220</posY> <label>#mediaportal.gui.guistatus.guistatus.sensortypes.hd</label> -- called from mystatus, obviously wrong, im trying to follow the paths as they are in the class window font14 <align>left</align> <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor> </control> Yeah i know, Im just guessing here but i dont really know where to start. once i get the theory round these im flying so if someone can help id really appreciate it!
