I've been looking for a good theme and I really like the way Xperience1080 looks. However, I don't like the order it presents the main menu tiles across the top. What I mean is, it goes "Home | Movies | TV Shows | Music | Applications | Weather | (gear)" Is there a way to swap Movies and TV Shows? I do a lot more TV Show viewing than Movies, and this will probably get old very quick.
Also, what's a good way to customize this for use with Emby? Has anybody made any changes to the Home screen?

I've actually got Emby working with their official plugin for Kodi. My biggest problem I now face is how this skin remembers the View settings. I have over 100 TV Shows. I went to the first show and actually customized the View for the Season and Episodes. Then I backed out and went to the next show and saw everything was back to the default. However, the first show still had all the settings saved. Also, the 2nd season of the first show was back to the default as well. Is there not a way to have it save the settings globally?
Also, (off topic) is there a way to configure the spotlights to show random shows/movies rather than the most recent? I tried to change it to a playlist, but I don't know how to make that work. All of my media is stored on a remote server and Emby provides the database.

Update - Seems like I fixed the problem with the view settings. Looks like it was actually saving the view settings from my server. I was half asleep last night when I noticed it wasn't. The views that weren't saving were in an addon for radio stations. So I guess the view settings would have to be manually applied inside an addon, rather than have it grandfathered from the main GUI.
I would still like to have some assistance with the main spotlight windows to show random videos of TV shows (on that screen) and Movies (on that screen) rather than the most recent additions. I'll poke around and see if I can't figure it out, but if somebody knows an easy answer, please let me know!

Hey just throwing this out there. It's probably a KODI thing, and not directly related to this skin, but since I had to use it to make the skin work the way I wanted I'll post it here in my original thread.
When I build a playlist, so the "spotlight" images can scroll through my media randomly instead of what was recently added, I have the option to limit the amount of items on the list. Does Kodi generate this playlist when it first powers on, or will it generate a random list throughout the day? The reason I ask, it looks like the "spotlight" is limited to 10 items. If I set my playlist to a limit of 10, will it be the same 10 all the time from now on until I reboot it, or can I set it up somehow to change say every 2 hours or whatever? I thought about this when I recently rebooted, and it seemed to take a while to generate that playlist, just to have the skin limit it to only 10 of those items.
