[QUOTE="jmhecker, post: 543845, member: 86959"] Thanks for the tip about ACTION_PREVIOUS_MENU, I will give that a shot when I open up Visual Studio here shortly. I have the layout ideas done, and the XML files created already. I am using one facade that has the category listing, as well as all of the items. Clicking on a category simply clears the facade, and shows the subcategories of the previously clicked category, and then below the subcategory listing, I am adding the items. I am using customized GUIListItem's that I have created to hold all of the relevant data for the categories and items, and using those to populate the facade. It works quite nicely. I am currently working on displaying the items now. So when you click on an item, that the plugin does the appropriate thing (shows the picture full screen, or plays the video (fullscreen as well, also utilizing the overlay so it can be shrunk), or play the audio file (great for audiobooks). I do suck at visual design though, so getting it laid out perfectly is proving to be a challenge...to me it always looks like crap, because I know I have no artistic eye :) I thank you for your help so far, and if there is anything else you can think of that might help me out, please, dont hold back :) [/QUOTE]
