[QUOTE="happyfirst, post: 201996, member: 54174"] Yup, I agree. I had found that originally when trying to find a fix for my issue. If all goes well with getting media portal setup (HD is my main snag now), the main media portal server will have a 15" ELO touchscreen interface in the kitchen for most likely accessing everything BUT the tv part. Maybe just the guide to schedule a recording. The kids like using it for music and videos. Wife like the news and weather. But at first, it was totally useless. We were stuck at the home page and couldn't get past it. I was almost going to have to give up as quickly as I'd gotten started. I've since dug into the code and now have my own customized version. I'm still trying to improve them. At some point I can submit them if they want. 1) The scrolling menu control now supports a noscroll option that I can set into the skin file. That coupled with increasing the number of buttons to show and I now have a perfectly useable home screen. 2) I customized the topbar skin to have a context menu button (right click) at the bottom right of the screen. 3) I customized the FullScreenVideoWindow (and MyMusicVideos) code to support a LeftClickBackEnabled so that now when the kids are watching video, they can just touch the screen to go back to the prior screen.
