How to always return to same menu item in BasicHome (1 Viewer)

[velis]

Just switched to this skin. Been using XFace till now, but it's no longer maintained.

There was a feature in XFace that I miss a lot in StreamedMP:
Every time you returned to main menu from any of the submenus, the item selected would be TV. Always TV.

This was insanely useful for my setup as the HTPC stays on always and TV is the most used submenu.
Streamed highlights the menu I just returned from...

Is there any way I can change this behaviour?

yes, I take it you are using basichome with the vertical menu layout? I will assum you are.

The vertical menu supports the MP option '"Allow remember last focused item on support window/skin", this can found under General Settings in MP Configuration.

Untick this option and provided your default option is TV then you will always retuen to the TV menu item.

cheers

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have set this check to off and will see if it does what it's intended to.
Can't test right now. Kid invited friends overnight. Living room full
