For years I used StreamedMP, but am finding minor glitches starting to appear, on my system, as it hasn't been updated for a couple of years. So...after trialling skins, I settled on this great addition to the MP collection. Top job, Catavolt.As an habitual customiser, I like to change thihgs to suit my own preferences. To that end, I have some queries I hope someone can assist with.Firstly, as a user who is not involved in IT, I sometimes come across areas beyond my ability.I have already changed certain things within the skin framework, like custom tiles (I find the 'Smart One' theme ideal: at present<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />), the background image, and the splashscreen image & position of the loading dialogue -see attached photos.One thing I really liked about StreamedMP was how it changed the background, when you moved from one tile to the next; ie. from TV Series to Moving Pictures. Is this easily achievable, by the user? If not, can some sort of slideshow be implemented, so the background image changes after a set time, or even upon every MP startup, as I have a number of images I would love to use, without having to manually set them?I have worked out how to change the default listing, in the topbar.xml, so 'Exit Mediaportal' is set. Also, the reset dialogYes/No.xml to 'Yes'.The following I'm not even sure if they are skin-related, as the dialogues, within StreamedMP, were similar, or identical.I have never understood the logic of how certain context menus are set. ie. in the 'episodes' section, if you right-click on a programme, the default listing is '1 Play Recorded TV'. I would like to amend that to 'Delete recorded TV'. It doesn't make sense to list the play option first, as once the TV programme is highligthed, you just press enter; either on your remote, or keyboard.So, as is shown, in the photo, can I either swap lines 1 & 2 around, or failing that, change the default to 'Delete recorded TV'?The same with TV Guide context menu. Can the lines, or defaults, be readily adjusted.I have attempted to locate the relevant *.xml files, but am unable to determine where to look.Thanks once again for a great skin.PS. if anyone finds any of the attached images in breach of any DRM, etc. let me know.PPS. you might have noticed I am a bit of a sci-fi fan<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
