    Hi,

    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1370367&group_id=107397&atid=647927

    These small changes allow Media Portal to start with the basic home screen. It also allows switching between the basic and regular home screen from the topbar.

    ==============
    - added new Action to ActionType enum: ACTION_SWITCH_HOME (115)

    Configuration/Sections/General.cs
    ========================
    - added config option under General for "start with basic home"

    xbmc/MediaPortal.cs:
    ===============
    - added handling of ACTION_SWITCH_HOME to OnAction()
    - added conditional startup with WINDOW_SECOND_HOME or WINDOW_HOME to InitializeDeviceObjects()

    xbmc/bin/release/skins/Project X/topbar.xml
    ===============================
    - changed basic home button from hyperlink to action (115)

    xbmc/bin/release/skins/Project X/topbarhome.xml
    ===================================
    - changed basic home button from hyperlink to action (115)

    Could you describe (for the benefit of us non-programmers.... :) ) what you mean by "the basic home screen" and how is it different from the "regular home screen"?

    Hi,

    I noticed this patch partly made it into CVS as of Friday 30 december 2005. Currently the option to switch between the basic and regular home screen isn't added to CVS, particularly the changes in the two skin files from Project X and MediaPortal.cs. I'm wondering wether this was left out intentionally or on purpose?

    Either way it's strange to me the change to Action.cs has made it into CVS, because that change is only there to acommodate the feature of switching between regular and bassic home screen. It would be nice if one of the devs who knows about this could enlighten me. :)

    Kind regards,
    Michel
