[QUOTE="Hesse, post: 73632, member: 23814"] I haven't seen anyone else using the IShowPlugin interface. I added return values to the GetHome function and also return true now, but it is still showing up as a process plugin. I looked in the GUIWindow.cs file and I didn't see a list of plugin IDs in the enumeration section. There really wasn't a whole lot there. Is it maybe in a different file? Here's the whole code in case someone sees something I missed.
