Can anybody tell my how I change the order of the item's (tv, radio, pictures, movies etc.) in the basic home screen?
Because I'd like to have my most used items clustered.

I don't know much about skins, but you I think you will have to change the following:
Edit basichome.xml.
For each menu item, there will be a set of xml tags enclosed in <control></control>.
The <description> should give you an indication of what button follows.
Change the values of <posX> and <posY> to reposition the item. value is pixels.
If you reorder, you will also have to change <onleft> and <onright>. The value inside them, point to the <id> of the menu item that must be shown when pressing left or right.

Or MUCH easier if you use one of the skins with a menu editor included, like Aeon and StreamedMP. Then no need to manually edit xml files.
