Skin with favorites on home screen
#1
Hi!

I am looking for a skin or a way that i can select all my fav addons to favorites and when i start my xbmc/kodi then it ends on my favorites screen. This way its easy for me to just run the addon i want.

Is there any way to do it ?

Thanks,

Capricorn

ah I look forward to this thread...but in the mean time a functional hack:
First- do this from the thread - http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=209832
then go to the <folder path to the modified skin>\Kodi\addons\skin.confluence_mod\720p\Home.xml
and add just below the "ActivateWindow(Weather)" the following in RED.
However the upon clicking it behaves just like how it would when you click on the favourite icon - right window slide out.
I don't like this as i want it to just open up into a new window like how it happens for the other Main menu items.
Till then I await the experts to chime in ....and PLEASE do at your earliest convenience.

The Mimic skin has a setting to view favourites using a square thumbnail view.

Can you share what you have done in the various xml files for our edification?

BryanBrazil! Thanks. Mimic looks good and I am exploring it more.

Ozooha! I replaced the Home word to Favourite in Startup.xml file and after the restart i saw the first page as my Favorites.
