[QUOTE="catavolt, post: 1158801, member: 54906"] [SIZE=5][B]How to use the new BasicHome Editor to adapt DefaultWideHD to your needs (1/2)[/B] [B]Adding and changing Main and Submenu Items[/B][/SIZE] If you run the DefaultWideHD skin for the first time, it comes with a few standard skin settings: This is your start screen showing the main menu, where the Settings item has focus. [ATTACH]171261[/ATTACH] The other main menu items are: [ATTACH]171262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]171263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]171264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]171265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]171266[/ATTACH] You move the main menu items around with the scroll wheel of your mouse or with left/right on keyboard/remote The main menus TV and Settings already have the following submenus: [ATTACH]171267[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]171268[/ATTACH] You access those submenus just moving UP from the main menu (either with mouse or UP on keyboard/remote) But for sure this standard settings aren´t enough for you, so let´s add TVSeries to the main menu of MyVideos: First of all, get the Settings item in focus: [ATTACH]171261[/ATTACH] Now move upwards to show the Settings submenu, the item Skin is focussed: [ATTACH]171268[/ATTACH] Click on it (OK on remote, ENTER on keyboard). The screen Settings GUI Skin is shown with the skin name in focus: [ATTACH]171270[/ATTACH] Move up to the BasicHome Editor Button, and click on it (OK on remote, ENTER on keyboard). The BasicHome Editor screen is shown: [ATTACH]171271[/ATTACH] Move down to highlight Videos: [ATTACH]171272[/ATTACH] Move right to highlight the first submenu item, which should show NONE (in German KEINE) [ATTACH]171273[/ATTACH] Click on it - a menu opens and shows all available sub menu items, grouped by TV, Videos, Music etc. Scroll down until you see TVSeries (in German TV Serien): [ATTACH]171274[/ATTACH] Click on it (OK on remote, ENTER on keyboard). Now the new item TVSeries is added as submenu to MyVideos: [ATTACH]171275[/ATTACH] Move left to highlight MyVideos, move up to the BasicHome Editor button, and deactivate it. You return to the Settings GUI Skin screen: [ATTACH]171276[/ATTACH] Return to BasicHome, navigate to MyVideos and move UP. Now you should see the new submenu TVSeries: [ATTACH]171279[/ATTACH] Yes, it´s there 5 times, but as you can define up to 7 submenu items for every main menu item, you may add more, e.g. Trakt (incl. different views), MovingPictures (incl. several views) etc. You may have up to 10 main menu items and up to 7 submenu items, so you may configure 70 (1) plugins - that should be more than enough even for the MP Power User :D To add a new main menu item, do the same as above, but this time you move down until the first main menu item with NONE (German KEINE), click on it and select the desired item from the plugin list. Then you may add submenu items to the new created main menu item as shown above ;) [/QUOTE]
