[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 211324, member: 26653"] Just got done myself trying to follow dcope's instructions. Here's what I did (no guarantees...) 1) download last year's Christmas theme from [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/files/startdown/253/"]here[/URL] 2) copy skins/BlueTwo, and rename the copy to "XMas" 3) delete the skin/Xmas/Media and skin/Xmas/Sounds folders 4) from the old Christmas theme downloaded above, copy into skin\XMas: - The Media folder - The Sounds folder - references.xml (overwrite the existing one) - edit the version in the file as dcope mentioned - MyHome.xml (overwrite the existing one) - mytvguide.xml (overwrite the existing one) That seems to be enough to get it working. Note this is about 120 seconds of testing is all! ---Edit-- For those of you looking for a working widescreen version of this, do the same as above - skipping mytvguide.xml - but starting with a copy of BlueTwo Wide for the base. A few extra lines need to be edited, though. File myHome.xml Look for the menu section - starts with <control> <description>Menu</description> <type>menu</type> And set the hover values like this: <hoverX>100</hoverX> <hoverY>200</hoverY> <hoverWidth>230</hoverWidth> <hoverHeight>225</hoverHeight> And so the topbar doesn't look stretched, copy the whole TOPBAR section from BlueTwo Wide into myHome.xml, overwriting the existing TOPBAR section. (or, just use the attached myHome.xml for widescreen) As above, I would consider this "good enough", but not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. [/QUOTE]
