    Hi Everyone!

    I have now completed the next version of the Basichome Menu Editor, which has now been renamed to Nexus Menu Editor! This is because this editor now supports any skin not just the BlackGlass ones :)

    Here are the detils please keep in mind that this is a still just a test release and it has been rushed a little as i have had lots of request for it, but it has been working quite well for me so hopefull wont be to many problems :)

    This is not a major update just some bug fixes and things see the change log for details

    enjoy!

    NOTE: This is simply an update to the template files to account for changes in MP Info Service and new Fanart Handler, please update to info service 1.6 and Fanart Hanler 2.1.1

    This has been tested on Win 7 x64 with MP 1.1.1 and the above version of the plugins

    This will be the last release untill atleast next year as im very very busy in real life and wont get time to develop it, but when i get the time i fully intend to develop this furthe, here are a list of upcoming features...

    - Remove ability to edit the font and difuse color
    - Add the ability for templates to have any number of customisable features via an ini file with access to these features with an advanced button
    - Add the ability to support multi level skins and grid skins
    - finaly complete the documentation so we can get some skinners to start making extra templates
    - change the way settings are stored to fit in with the MP config files

    These features will take a while to implement and will require almost a complete rewrite of the code but i think it will be well worth it in the end :)

    Like i said im pretty busy so it might take me a while to reply to any problems, I do no of some slight issues with some templates and thing overlapping, however im not a designer and dont have the time to look into these to much, but all you need to do to fix these is change the xml template files as required. Changing and updating the template files is a bit byond the scope of this project and this is what takes up the most time when updating, but ill do my best to support them.

    cheers

    Hi All

    A while ago I started my first skin based on the Theater Skin, but then i noticed this great skin and saw that a lot of the ideas I had of how I wanted my skin to look had already been implemented in this skin :)

    However I still prefere a simple basic home screen rather than the current one in the skin, so I have now created a simple mod to change the basic home screen to a single horizontal menu with fanart backgrounds for each item.

    The mod also changes some other very small things such as the time overlay to add in some weather and location information.

    The mod contains a simple menu editor, this editor is very basic but it meets my needs, however if enough people are interested im happy to develop this further and make it more user friendly.

    Thanks to Tgx for all the great work so far and hope you enjoy the mod!

    i have tried these menu items but everything seems to work fine, i have attached my xml file but yeah i dont get any problems, looks like it might be something else wrong.

    Make sure you are using the latest MP verison plus the latest SVN as thats what im using, im also on windows 7 + all updates

    also try removing the entire skin folder then reinstall it

    hope you can get it working :)

    its to hard, the new SVN's contain some code that make it much easier for the focus items in the skin (allowhiddenfocus=true)

    it is possible but i wont be doing it cause i dont think it worth the effot MP 1.1 beta is much better than 1.02 so for the sake of a few months untill it release its not realy worth the effort, but update to the latest MP and it should work fine:)
