I've tried to make a video menu like the music menu but it doesn't work, can anybody help me? I've replaced the hyperlink in My videos icon with 9999 and then i've created VideosMenu.xml identical to MusicMenu, but using the ID 9999, but when i click over My videos it does nothing... why?

I've another idea about this skin, it could be really amazing to have an option to have the skin in any colour. I think that it can be done including a batch processor with the skin wich processes all black elements in the skin changing the hue of the image or colorizing in some way. I think that this can be done with some kind of command line processor that processes the necessary files.

regards,
Cant help...but I definetly would like to use it when you get it made:D

    @ patricon, find mirk's games menu. It might need recompiling for the latest release. I've used it in the past to create what your trying to do ;).

    Not yet. Try this...

    By the way I'll probably add a video ("watch") menu for the next release and change the music link to "listen". But, for it to fit with the rest of the skin - what 5 links should be displayed. TV, TV Series, My Films, Videos, Pictures maybe?

    Thanks psycho... but, MY GOD!!! everything is soooooo complicated using MP... i hope that the rumours about MP2 could solve all of this and finally the interface could be easy to skin, customize, etc...,

    For me, the links into the video menu, should be: My Films, TV Series, My videos, Online Videos and My trailers, but it's my personal taste. May be that also, into TV menu should be this links (i doesn't use the TV part in MP): Recordings, EPG, Live TV, Schedules

    NOTE: I was talking about this post: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showpost.php?p=198961&postcount=121

    Awesome xD

    Just had to change the label for "music menu" so it displayed in my own language =)
    :D

    Now only thing i have to fix is resizing the banners a bit so 3 of them can fit in 1 row. Either that or the space between them. Just gotta figure out how^^
