Hi kyle,
Testing your menu editor ATM,
I had to create a folder and place the image in this folder to get this to work; \EDITOR\XML\TEMPLATES\NOVA\RUNME\MENUITEMS
It might be a good idea to have this empty folder in the install package and a note in the docs to place your images there.
Still testing now and will give more feedback shortly.
I am having trouble geting all the icons to display and the movingpicture fanart backdrop.
Files attached. Hope it helps.
Let me know if anything else you need.

Hi lebbect
ok solved the moving pictures fanart problem...its an error with the nova.basichome.template.xml and the this line
<define>#useRandomMovingPicturesFanart:yes</define>
it should look like this
<define>#useRandomMovingPicturesFanart:Yes</define>
just change this file and everything should work fine
as for the problems with the pictures all the images i have been doing work fine, i think its got to do with where you are placing the images
once you select the Nova preset click on the details button and it will give you insturction on how to get it working, however here is a quick rundown...
place the images you want to use in \XML\TEMPLATES\NOVA\RUNME\menuitems the completed images will then get automaticly copied to the \XML\SKIN folder or if you wish to the skin folder.
A few things to watch out for, make sure the images are named EXACLTY the same as the menu items and that the menu items do NOT have spaces in them (ie TV Shows will not work and should be TVShows)
just looking at your screen shots, it looks like you have a menuitems folder in the \XML\SKIN folder which is not right it should just be the .xml files and a media folder
ill try and have another look tomorrow but so far i dont think anyone else is having this issue.
cheers

Re: Community Mod - NexusMenuEditor BETA 02 ** Update 05-05-2010 **
good to know everything (or almost everything) is working
you will probably find that the only reason Blue3 doesnt work with the nova preset is because of the fonts.xml or references.xml files
in the next release ill be planing to do something with these files to make them more compatible with the other skins or maybe just have a list of recommended skins for each preset
also in the next realse im probably going to stop fixing the issues with the xml preset's as it a bit over and above what the idea of the editor is which was to provided the skiner designer a way to develop a basichome that was easily customised by the user, really it should be the skin designer that would create these files.
However as i use the nova preset I will probably still fix any issues i come accross.
Also in the next release I will look at moving this thread out to the main skin forums for users of other skins to use, and hopefully get some more presets developed by other designers
anyway for now im just working on cleaning up the code and implementing some error trapping and the all important documentation....

Hi great work One thing I'm getting same as lebbect is a strange overlap in the rss line at the left hand side. There is a text label about infoservice overlaid on top of the scrolling rss feed.
Thanks

Hi kyle
The change to the xml template worked fine.
Still having trouble with creating the images, but did get it to work.
The reason why i was seeing some empty icons is that images were left over from the previous version, but this version wasnt creating any images.
So i used the old version to create the images and placed them in the skin/media dir. and it worked fine.
The latest version didnt seem to create the images and the cmd window showed two errors when processing the files. (screenshot attached.)
Not sure if it make a difference but im running windows 7.
