How do I change the last.fm button under 'Listen' to MyRadio??
I have tried looking through the code but it's all nonsense to me!!

well the simple way is to change the button image in c:\programs\Team MediaPortal\skin\Monochrome\Media
There you find a picture labeled: hover_lastFM.png replace it with a picture of the same dimensions and save it with a extension .PNG[Important]
Clear the cache of the Monochrome skin, Vista [X:]\ProgramData\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal\Cache\[Skinname] or XP [X:]/program files/team mediaportal/mediaportal/chache[skinname]
[X] = your drive letter where xp/vista is installed and [Skinname] is the folder of the skin where you want to change things
The hard way is when you change your dimensions of the picture then you have to change parameters in a .XML file.
In your case you must open c:\program files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Monochrome\MusicMenu.XML
with Notepad.
Then you will see code like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

Well Label is the name you see on your screen and [x] [Y] are the values of the position on the screen.
Button is the picture with 4 values [X] [Y] and [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] of the picture, adjust them to your picture dimensions and save it back as the same >XML name.
Then save the file and open MP to see that you did your job right
No need to clear the cache with this kind of adjustment.
As a advise.... first backup your original file somewhere else, so that you alway can reverse things.
Hopefully I did explain it a little proper way.... just tried to keep it simple for you

p.s the code you see is what I use... so the code from the original Monochrome Skin has different values!!!!
This is great (and now I have my original button image )
Thanks - but I was hoping to change the entire button to a new image AND redirect it to myRadio (I never use last.fm)
Apologies if I wasn't clear before!

Well that's a lot simpler, see this code[you will have it on every beginning of the code] example MusicMenu.XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<window>
<id>8888</id>
<defaultcontrol>5</defaultcontrol>
<allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
<disabletopbar>no</disabletopbar>
<controls>
<import>common.time.xml</import>
<control>
<description>BG</description>
<type>image</type>
etc, etc...
That's the ID for MusicMenu, so in other words Musicmenu is reference nr 8888
So when we open Mypixs.xml we see this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<window>
<id>2</id>
<defaultcontrol>2</defaultcontrol>
<allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
<define>#header.label:1</define>
<define>#header.image
ictures_logo.png</define><define>#header.hover:hover_my pictures.png</define>
<controls>
So let's say that you want replace lastFM with Mypics in the musicmenu.xml
Then we see this piece of code in musicmenu.xml

<description>Last.fm Button</description> is the beginning of what a action must do en where to go.
There you will find <hyperlink>7890</hyperlink>, heeeeee that's the number of MyradioLastFM.xml
and mypics.xml starts with a <id>2</id>, so replace 7890 with 2 and when you press the button, it will go to Mypics.
Pfffft.... It's really not a fun telling story when you mess up the code yourself
but I hope it's clear.Just when you're in playful mood, backup the file and start changing parameters and see whats happening.... so much fun!

Thanks!!!! Just what I was looking for... I use MyRadio (a lot)!
Now it makes some sense!
I have adapted the code and it's working perfectly -
Nice to know there are some other Radio heads like mself

Whose Page Ranking? I'll make an MPI for the next release if/when Dukus adds the function to clear the cache folder on XP/Vista, otherwise any modded gfx files aren't updated
grats on a great skin psycho reptile
fast, clean and i love the option that there are various xml for tv series.
GetaGrip great pics there mate maybe you should release a mod with monochrome with color images
great skin none the less!!
