[QUOTE="eightyf, post: 152998, member: 50694"] Hi, this is my first posting here and I really struggled quite awhile with myself - but after leafing through the wikis (german and english) as well as a great part of both forums I am by no means nearer to a solution, than before. So here I am, pleading for help ;-) As you have probably figured I am a total newbie when it comes to MP skinning. I have done this before on some other occasions, but those where merely graphical issues I had to fight with (mostly touchscreen remotes). Here are some basic questions, which are vital for my sucessful skinning attempts: [LIST=1] [*]In the Skinning Architecture article, tags like "action" or "hyperlink" are mentioned. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find those tags for most of the buttons in the XML pages. One exception is the settings.xml, where "hyperlink" tags are used, but mostly the buttons used on different pages (for example on the mydvds.xml) seem to relate to some predefined action. "View as..." is one of them: OK, looks like this one needs to have ID 2. When pressed it cycles through the different view styles (list, icons. big icons, filmstrip). Is this function "hardcoded" or can it be changed via some XML file that I must then have missed? [*]Next issue, same situation: is it then possible to create single buttons for list-, icon- etc. views. If so, how are they adressed? [*]When utilizing a thumbnail screen (or list, or whatever) how does MP know, what to display? In the aforementioned myDVDs.xml i haven't found any reference on the listview/thumbnailpanel controls, which tells MP that it should show all my imported videos. Is this also controlled via the ID? And if so, is there a list which describes, what control with which ID does what? [/LIST] Normally I can google my way out of any situation, but this time I am really at a loss. As far as I understand it, it should be possible to create any XML file, assign an ID to this page. From now on, it should be possible to jump to this screen via a button which has a hyperlink (or action?) tag with the correct ID assigned to it? Correct? Because this doesn't work at all.
