Hello to all,
I want to use XMBC on Raspi primarily to access and play my collection of mp3 music. During playback, I would like to see the information about the song being played right now (song title. album title, artist (year, length, ...)) (and as 'sugar coating' the next X songs in the playlist) ALL the time, not being hidden after a few seconds of no user interaction.
The only skin and theme, I found doing that is Aeon Nox - Square.
I already noticed myself, that Aeon Nox is a bit sluggish on the raspi. Therefor I would like to know, if any other skin does display the song information all the time or if (even better) this can be configured somewhere.
Regards,
Koolman

Hello Every one
I have installed OpenELEC on my Raspberry Pi and it is really great I simply LOVE it I am using Amber skin.
Neverthesless I have some add ons that do some TV sreaming and I put them in the Favourites. So far so good.
I wondered if I can modify the main menu the one with lions on the back ground. Renamimg the VIDEO to something else like TV and make my favourites to be called from the TV newly made menu.
Please help I am new to all this and am a very fast learner.
Thanks every one.

Thanks ActionA,
What I am trying to do is to be able to customise the main menu, the add-on would be a bonus. I have been looking into all the XML files in the .xbmc of my SD card, have not found any indication of where the main menu's sources are so that I can modify, delete, rename, etc.
The add on source I have found in the favourite.xml file, there are links to the sites where the TV is being streamed.
If I know which .xml file is responsible or called upon when the RasPi boots and brings up the very first menu Ic an then go and have a look and try to see if I can modify it, I would really appreciate a hint.
Many thanks to have replied at all.
