[QUOTE="Noelix, post: 75512, member: 18535"] Well I have some specific questions as I have been looking at the xml for both BlueTwo and Project Mayhem III skins. Right now I'm just looking to modify the basic home screen so that I replace the button "My Pictures" with a link to the DVD player function, since I don't use the My Pictures feature at all but use the DVD player feature all the time. Please help me understand this code here from PMIII's basic screen: [code] <control> <description>pictures normal push button</description> <type>button</type> <id>13</id> <posX>91</posX> <posY>270</posY> <width>14</width> <height>13</height> <label>1</label> <hyperlink>2</hyperlink> font10 <onleft>13</onleft> <onright>13</onright> <onup>2</onup> <ondown>3</ondown> <textureFocus>home-focus.gif</textureFocus> <textureNoFocus>button-nofocus.png</textureNoFocus> <textXOff>20</textXOff> <hover>hover_my pictures.png</hover> <hoverX>313</hoverX> <hoverY>108</hoverY> <hoverWidth>407</hoverWidth> <hoverHeight>358</hoverHeight> </control>[/code]Ok I'm going to attempt to figure these out one at a time. [i]<control>[/i] seems to be like an object tag, easy enough. [i]<description>[/i] a description of the object obviously - but is it only seen in the xml or does it play a more important role (i.e. does it need a specific string to function properly) [i]<type>[/i] is easy enough to figure out, because the only two types I see are labels and buttons [i]<id>[/i] seems to be a sequential # indicating order to the program [i]<label>[/i] ... no idea [i]<hyperlink>[/i] ... lost again, the number seems totally random Let me know if I'm on the right track to understanding this and what those last two items mean and how I define them... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
