[QUOTE="cul8er, post: 657549, member: 24508"] [b]Re: Request for generic menu editor[/b] Hi, Would it be an idea to just standardize the settings file (I think that's what some of you suggested above;)). Create a xml structure that can hold menuitems, subitems, images, texts, captions etc (all that could be used in a menu). It would then only be for every skinner that uses a menu editor to replace their setting file with the generic one (read / write).
