I don't want the weather blade at all...and can't seem to find where to do hide/remove it. Help?

Cos it can't be done

Actually, someone over at the plex forum found a solution for this.

Tried it myself and it works perfect

That might work for you in your version but if you hide any of the items prior to the one that comes up as the default then you run the risk of having the flashing background problem that caused us to lock down these items in the first place. (We didn't do it to annoy you )

Hmmm. Is it not possible because it isn't a feature, or is it impossible to code?

is it pos to change the default start up from weather to config system or other blades ? thanks

[lompelurt]

On the link that i'm refering too you'll find the code. I've only tried it in plex(xbmc for mac), and I have never experienced the flashing background problem. Doesn't hurt too try it out.

Anything on this? I'd like the default to be TV or Movies. Thanks.

What I did is change the programs blade into Favorites. use them alot for the plug-ins, scripts and fast/easy radio streams start. edit the home.xml find the right onclick to change into whatever onclick you do want. Then change the Language ID into something you like or add one in the strings.xml.

Change this:

Code:

<item id="5">
            <description>My Weather Button</description>
            <label> [b]$LOCALIZE[31005][/b] </label>
            [b]<label2>$LOCALIZE[31043]</label2>[/b]
            <onclick>[b]XBMC.ActivateWindow(2600)[/b]</onclick>
            <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HideWeather)</visible>
            <visible>System.HasNetwork</visible>
          </item>

Into something like this

Code:

<item id="5">
            <description>My Weather Button</description>
            <label> [b]$LOCALIZE[31039][/b] </label>
            <onclick>[b]XBMC.ActivateWindow(Favourites)[/b]</onclick>
            <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HideWeather)</visible>
            <visible>System.HasNetwork</visible>
          </item>

Submenu samething..

This is exactly what I'm looking for! I want to add "Favorites" as a main choice on the home screen. It makes no sense having it in the power off section. I want to be able to access Revision3 plugin and Last.FM station in a quicker way.

I do like the weather, tho. I'd probably replace Applications instead. Or better yet, the DVD player, which doesn't work anyway, in Plex

Could you give me a little more of a hint on how you accomplished this?

Thanks in advance.

OK, I mostly figured it out on my own. Thanks for the hints.
